An interesting bit of Van Helsing-related news here. Personally I prefer Van Helsing/Carlimir to Van Helsing/Dracula, but never mind.
In Angel-related news, have just seen the episode where Holtz takes baby Connor dimension-hopping. Thank God. Also, Angel trying to smother Wesley with a pillow is hilarious. Just can't take David Boreanaz seriously at all in that scene.
Still hate Fred.
Am also wondering if it was intentional that the creepy little girl Angel and Lilah meet in the White Room looks like a younger version of Eve.

I loved Illyria. I know that Fred was supposed to be the antithesis to the more confident Cordelia or seductive Darla but they had better storylines and relationships. I can't forgive her breaking poor little Wesley's heart - the harlot! Not that he wasn't thinking about Angel anyway.

Illyria was great - Wesley's all, go to the lab, and Illyria's like, "I go because it suits me, bitch!" and Wesley's all, "I am emasculated". Plus the bit in the last episode with the headtilt and cutting away to imply massive violence.
And I get that she was supposed to contrast with Cordy and Darla, but there's a world of difference between being shy and just being annoying.
*snerk* Everyone thinks about Angel. Hell, I think even Angel thinks about Angel.

Just imagine what he was like when he could see his own reflection.
