Oooh, it's nice to see Gunn get a little respect for something other than his fighting skills. The Fabulous Gwen is always entertaining, and I like that she's never worn out her welcome on this show. Connor grew a brain! And that final shot was the best use of a Magic 8 Ball on … [Read more...] about Thoughts on Angel (“Players”)
