The man playing Cordy's doctor looks like the same actor who played the evil mayor on Buffy last year.

I was wrong. Different actor playing the doc.

The lesson for this episode? Even your first time can result in pregnancy. ;-)

Okay, Angel & Wesley try to cover up Cordelia colapsing while having her vision. However, isn't there usually groaning in pain when having a vision from TPTB?

Considering how big that Liquid Nitrogen container was, why was Angel concerned about how good a shot Wesley was?

Good thing the hole pointed straight up at the demon instead of away or toward the tank full expecting mothers. (Cordy on the rocks.)

The demon was sprayed with liquid nitrogen, but he was frozen solid all over? Maybe if it were dipped into liquid nitrogen and left there for a bit, but the spray should have only affected the surface area where it hit. As for freezing solid, heat exists through the whole volume of a creature, but can only enter or leave through the surface area, and the surface area is usually a lot smaller than the volume. (Ever get really cold then try to warm up by the fire, only to have your skin get really hot, but you still feel cold inside? Volume vs. surface area.)

Cordy swings the pully at the demonsicle, but we don't see her or Wesley duck as the thing returns as it should.

Maybe demons react differently to liquid nitrogen than humans, or they have no internal heat. I've never been close enough to a demon to be sure of that last one, though.

When Cordy pulled off the her blanket my sister commented that Cordy's stomach looked like a giant eyeball.
When Cordy smashed the frozen demon I thought of Terminator 2.
When Wesley and Angel said the demon was trying to build an army they weren't kidding. I counted 5 women. Each one had at least 7 babies. That would have made 35 babies altogether.

...who invited Angel into the private gun club later in the episode?
Or, for that matter, how did he know where to go, anyway?

When Cordy smashed the frozen demon I thought of Terminator 2.
So did I. How can anyone not? It was only so obvious.

They may have sort of touched up on this but since Dennis first "appeared" I figured he'd get a crush on Cordy, or at least feel very protective of her, and maybe a bit jealous when she brought guys over. As good as Charisma is on the eyes, I still don't buy her as teen. Buffy just turned 19, and figuring Cordy is the same age, and considering that Chari is 29 and looks it, it's hard to see her as a teen. Even MarkM's love interest, Alyson Hannigan is 26 and Michelle is thereabouts as well, so they're hard, nay, virtually impossible, for me to see them as teens but I tries, folks. Lawdy does I try, for the sake of the show. But damnit, they're still all goodlooking women so of course I've got to keep watching. Now, let's get Faith out of that coma for some more wickedly evil fun, shall we?

>When Cordy smashed the frozen demon I thought of Terminator 2.
>So did I. How can anyone not? It was only so obvious.

Ummm...I didn't. I've never seen Terminator 2 (or any Terminator film, for that matter!)

Not even a clip of the scene towards the end where the liquid metal T1000 model is frozen with dry ice, then Ahnuld shoots it, it shatters, and shortly afterwards, due to the heat in the place they're all in, the tiny T2 bits thaw, and then reform back into Robert Patrick? Margie, you oughtta watch the two films. They're pretty good. That is, if you like sci-fi.

I've probably seen it in a commercial or something - sounds a bit familiar. I am a fan of sci-fi (Star Trek & Star Wars mainly), but usually don't go for the violent stuff. Maybe I'll check it out the next time it's on cable.

You know the thing about this episode? I hated this episode. There were cute moments, sure, and the Angel/Wesley dynamic is quite amusing, but I felt that it was poorly written and reduced Cordelia to victim -- again. She was going along so nicely when she had Doyle...

I miss Doyle.

Oh, and hi, everyone. ;)

Angel got the name of the gunclub from one of the new Cordette's, he said this to Wesley. Also AFAIK it's only homes that vamps have problems entering. Gunclubs, be they private or not, shouldn't be a problem.

Art: However, Angel does need permission to enter a rented hotel room. At least that was implied in one episode when Wesly let him into one and Angel said not to worry because it was a demon's lair. He also needs permission to enter an apartment.

It just confuses my little mind. He can enter Cordelia's apartment, with her permission, even though someone else owns the building. In fact he can enter the apartment building itself without asking the landlord. He can go down the hallway to a room with a poker game, but not enter the game itself. He can enter a private gun club. It seems the mystic forces have a very flexible view of owner as the person taking up residence. Apparently, they don't check the city records, hmmm?

MM: All your points are correct, but Angel entered Faith's room in the episode where she was strangling Xander (Can't remember the name of the episode). He may have been invited previously but it's very unlikely. Also (and my memory may be playing tricks on me here) but didn't Angelus enter Jenny's uncles hotel room uninvited.
The impression I get is that hotel\motel rooms are easy-entry but where a person actually lives (as in a home, not necessiarily a house)they need the invite. This would tie in Cordie's place and Faiths. Doesn't explain Wesley's comment I know, nor does it explain how Angel entered that house in 'Sense & Sensitivity'

Actually, Art, I think Angel can't enter a room that is owned by a person in the more general sense of "someone with a soul resides there." He could enter Cordelia's apartment because she told him he was welcome into "her new place, any time". Mystic forces apparently are perfectly capable of making common-sense distinctions between the legal owner of an apartment complex and the person who acutally lives there. I wonder, though; if the owner gives permission for Angel to enter any room, can he?

What episode was Faith strangling Xander? We only recently got the WB, and I'm not as up to speed on Buffy as I pretend I am.

Maybe this discussion of what a vampire can & can't enter should be a topic in the Angel Kitchen Sink, since it involves so many different episodes & 2 different series?

I miss Doyle, too :( and I also hated this episode. It felt like a warning to women against one night stands. the threat of vd and non-demon pregnancies isn't enough of a deterrent?

Where did they get the dungarees at such short notice? I can't imagine someone as fashion conscious as Cordelia having a pair around the house, especially a pair with as much 'give' as this pair had! Did Wesley have to rush off down to the nearest Mothercare?!

Cute moment: Dennis handing Cordy tissues and then pulling the eiderdown up over her.

I wasn't very happy with the "hit the big re-set button" routine towards the end. Killing a demon makes its offspring disappear, along with the acidic amniotic fluid? It was all a bit too convenient for my liking, even though it was obviously necessary in order to save the girls' lives.

Re: When Angel needs an invitation to enter

If a human lives there, Angel needs an invitation to enter. Anyone human can provide this invitation, whether that person lives in the dwelling in question or not. After the initial invitation, no further invitations are needed, unless the initial invitation is revoked by magic. If the initial invitation is revoked, then a new invitation is necessary. If no human lives in the place in question, then Angel doesn't need an invitation to enter. Regarding apartment buildings, Angel may enter common areas without invitation, since people who live in apartments within an apartment building don't live in the common areas. Further, if a person owns a dwelling, it doesn't mean that this person lives there. Regarding hotel rooms or suites, humans may live in them, but most such rooms or suites which are occupied by humans are not occupied by humans who live there. Most of these people are just staying there temporarily. It's not home, or a home. The same probably applies to human-occupied hospital rooms. However, college dormitory rooms generally fall in the category of "places where humans live".
