Kate was going to be introduced an undercover cop working as a prostitute who had gotten too far into her cover and was addicted to crack. The network basically took one look and shot it down, and they rewrote the episode to be way less dark. You can still find the original script online. As far as I know, there were never any plans to bring Kate back as a prostitute after "Epiphany."Gaius Maximusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9063141388797173496.post-57511402969721118992021-02-10T15:26:27.446-05:002021-02-10T15:26:27.446-05:00Hmmmmm ....

That what Neanderthals are to humans, the Turok Han is to vampires. So maybe after thousands, or millions of years, the pure forms of vampires evolved into the green horn face we see here. Or maybe the make up people just didn't make the connection and defaulted to the Nosferatu form when the Ubervamp came along in season 7.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946437004922627378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9063141388797173496.post-7513815910192437702021-01-21T15:23:49.773-05:002021-01-21T15:23:49.773-05:00"“He can’t control himself because…he’s from ..."“He can’t control himself because…he’s from France.” What?" <br /><br />From an outsider's perspective, I've noticed weird things like this on a lot of American shows. Strange and kind of mean digs at French people. I just saw this from my recaps of Dawson's Creek too where they were doing a Would You Rather and one of the options was having a really stinky roommate and Joey uses French foreign exchange student to denote just how stinky they were. What's up with that? I'd say it's a 911 thing but the episode I recapped is from before that so I really don't get it.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024678668891350441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9063141388797173496.post-73341423124876729382020-12-29T12:54:43.786-05:002020-12-29T12:54:43.786-05:00Harmony is a fantastic character and I really wish...Harmony is a fantastic character and I really wish she were the one brought back more often than Spike.

But the actress wasn't available, so they let this be her end. I'm glad it worked out that way, as it gives her a happy ending, and the alternate ending would have undone her whole epiphany here.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946437004922627378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9063141388797173496.post-65327274209272690722020-11-04T21:34:28.418-05:002020-11-04T21:34:28.418-05:00"We could say then this episode was a waste o..."We could say then this episode was a waste of time, since the meat of it is Angel undergoing these three trials, all for naught." <br /><br />This episode was actually pretty pivotal to the rest of the series. Aside from laying the foundation of Holtz being Angel's nemesis, the life Angel won is how Connor came to be. They mention later how it's impossible for two vampires to have a child otherwise. <br /><br />Also, as mentioned above, it's interesting that they make reference to Jasmine, because even if they hadn't planned for her this far in advance, they retconned that she had been manipulating events all along in order to bring about her birth. If I remember correctly, she says this was one of those events she manipulated because it brought her "father" into existence.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946437004922627378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9063141388797173496.post-13694775005081524422020-11-04T11:39:45.059-05:002020-11-04T11:39:45.059-05:00Well now this episode has two high points for me: ...Well now this episode has two high points for me: Lorne's high note, and this piece of trivia.Zelda Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00654314419681927384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9063141388797173496.post-55831427487206190912020-11-03T13:41:19.525-05:002020-11-03T13:41:19.525-05:00The actor who played Gene said that during the sce...The actor who played Gene said that during the scene at the dinner table with him, Angel and Lorne, David Boreanaz (who he called David Boringanus kept giving the director notes on how he felt the scene should be directed.)<br /><br />I just wanted to post that so I could use the phrase 'Boringanus.' 😐<br /><br />-Lamey.
