Episode 5 spoilers

Okay, the gist is that Lorne's empathy goes into overdrive, making everyone very susceptible to his suggestions. I can't wait to see ADD hyper-cheerful this-swizzle-stick-ROCKS! Spike (I love his line "Hi! I like your horns!"), but my big complaint is this:

Lorne makes an offhand comment about the UST between Angel and Eve. Seconds later, they rush off to have sex. All well and good, but couldn't he have said UST between Angel and Wes? Huh? Once again, a cast-iron opportunity for Angel/Wes slash onscreen, and it's missed!

(ETA: Angel and Eve get interrupted before they can do the deed)

Dude, wait. Isn't this like six Star Trek episodes?

God damn, Joss! If you're gonna steal, don't steal from the crappiest episode of DS9 ever! Does this not remind you of the episode where Lwaxana Troi infected people with her horniness because she had some flu?

Come to think of it... yeah. It's DS9 with Big Gay Demons.

Now I'm imagining everyone going around saying "Peldar Joy!" and the "what if Ep 5 had gone like this?" fanfic.

"Peldar Joy, Angel!"
"Peldar Joy, Lorne!"
"Gee, Angel, you and Spike have the crackly sexual chemistry. Why don't you just marry him?"
"Gee, Lorne. Because we're not in Canada? But otherwise, great idea."

*snicker* Evil. Evil. Evil.
