Cleared out a 2002 tape. There was a ‘The Pretender’ ep ‘PTB’ which had outdated technology and bad tracking. Then came another ‘The Pretender’ ep ‘Wake Up’ in which Miss Parker brooded. Then came a season 6 ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ ep ‘Wrecked’ in which Amy and Willow tripped on dark magicks. Also Spike and Buffy had the morning after their tryst. Cue post coital sneering.
Finally there was a season 3 ‘Angel’ ep ‘Quickening’ in which nasty judgemental Holtz (Keith Szarabajka) wants revenge on Angel and Darla for killing his family. Darla’s knocked up with a pillow baby and goes into labour. A sneaky Wolfram and Hart guy does stuff as Lila and Gavin (Daniel Dae Kim) plot. This was disjointed and nobody acts with any objective reason. I feel baffled contempt for this ep.

“Or to speak to or worship Master Tarfall Underlord Of Pain. Press 3.”
“You can set baby’s cage next to mammas.”
“Get a hose. I’m afraid there might be some blood.”
