\\nAngel season 1, episode 15, "The Prodigal"
\\n-Why doesn\'t Angel go by Liam?
\\n-Angel is a constant reminder of his actions as Angelus, but also his sister\'s death
\\n-The show mirrors the conversation we had on Twitter about Angel being a common Latino name
\\n-Darla is back and everyone still doesn\'t like her
\\n-Darla-Angel-Dru-Spike Family Forever
\\n-Which bothers Angel more-- Liam\'s past or Angelus\' past?
\\n-How do we feel about the flashbacks to Liam?
\\n-Kate and Angel: What is going on?
\\n-The episode seems a little fragmented with Kate and Angel butting heads
\\n-Think back to Cordelia getting used to demons, it\'s time for Kate to get with the program
\\n-Security systems are no match for demons
\\n-Faith? No Faith
\\n-Angel watches Kate\'s dad die and it was so frustrating to see that stupid vampire rule work against us
\\n-Angel is definitely the group dad
\\n-Cordelia could go back to Buffy and whip everyone into shape

\\nAngel season 1, episode 16, "The Ring"
\\n-Demon Dating Database, sorry books
\\n-Did we see the bad guy\'s red flags from the start?
\\n-Superfans sometimes come at the episodes with a blank slate
\\n-Angel being thrust into the middle of the situation really shows the best parts of his character
\\n-The humans are the bad guys, even though some of them demons by nature are awful
\\n-Umm, maybe they should have kept some of the demons captive
\\n-The makeup was SO ON POINT
\\n-Also, there are so, so many demons
\\n-What is going on with Wesley?
\\n-Wesley is working on finding his footing as a character
\\n-Is the pace of Angel to slow? Can they burn through story faster?
\\n-Angel is Moses and Captain America
\\n-Lila the lawyer is evil and Angel can see right through that
\\n-We let Natalie talk about Captain America for a while, because we like her
\\n-Wolfram and Hart are the big bad
\\n-Brittany will dig at Angel and Buffy whenever she can
\\n-Cordelia is Angel\'s number 2 and we wouldn\'t have it any other way

\\nListener Feedback:
\\n-Natalie updates us on the James Marsters interview
\\n-TALLOW?! Are we shipping them?
\\n-Buffy isn\'t a flat character, but she is also not truly defined to some of us. Sorry.
\\n
\\n\\n
\\n
\\nBrittany\'s Brainstorms:
\\n-Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 4, episode 17, "Superstar" - Buffy has Molly Shannon on to promote her movie, or karaoke!
\\n-Angel season 1, episode 17, "Eternity" - More references to Angel\'s past because it\'s going to be an ETERNITY before we can stop hearing that awful accent
