See, I was really thinking the same thing, but then there was a preview for something "all new" next week. So I dunno. And yes, moving to UPN would be helpful. Nobody needs to see Roswell anyway.

I realize that sleep deprivation can affect judgement, but how did Wesley miss that Oracle at Delphi moment. He asks if Angel will kill his son & Lord of the Hamburgers says, 'the vampire will consume his offspring' or something like that. Did Wesley need a flashing sign saying "Loophole!" to realize that something is up?

From the Beating a Dead Horse Department: Angel is bleeding freely from a wound. IIRC without a beating heart you don't bleed like that.

There's 1 more episode "Sleep Tight" before the hiatus.

and: what's the loophole?

Either I missed an episode in last week's SFTV mailing, or SFTV missed it. Next week is a new episode, and then it goes on hiatus.

...[W]hat's the loophole? Len

The loophole is that neither the original prophesy nor the Mayor McCheese God confirmed that the father and son were specifically Angel and Connor.

So there are other possibilities available. The most obvious one being that Angel will dust some vamp that he'd sired when he was Angelus. Another possibility is that Sahjhan's time-shifting somehow tricks Holst into killing his son, though Holst would have to become vamped in this case. And there's the chance that we find out that Angel is not Connor's father, that some other vamp was and he kills Connor, or.....

That's why prophets and oracles love the vague answer. No matter what happens, they can say "See, I was right!"

I kind of thought it was peculiar that all this is
going on when Cordie aka "Vision Girl" wasn't around so that they didn't have her visions to
act as a guide as they normally do when things
like this happen.
Hmmm...do you suppose whoever came up with this
bit of prophecy went to The Nostradamus School Of
Prophecy And Foretelling?
