lathanyAnd episode ten had a welcome reappearance from Christian Kane (Lyndsey). I find the Lyndsey/Eve plot a great deal more interesting than anything else, so this made it a decent episode.
It was nice to see a return to a few season one themes. "Doyle", for example (if the actor had been alive, what's the reckoning that Lyndsey might have done the shape-change thing ?). The whole hero-aided-by-visions was a good theme to revisit. Plus Angel's fears were realistic enough, as was his realisation that Eve had been more than a dream. Finally, we get to hear a little more about Eve and Lyndsey's plans (but not why).
On the other hand, given who and what Eve is, the whole gang were rather too trusting of her. Why didn't anyone check up on Angel ? After he seemed so out of sorts ? It just didn't seem plausible. Spike, meanwhile, seemed very keen to fall straight into Angel's old job; rather unbelievably so.
But overall, a welcome revisiting of Angel's roots, and I have hopes that they will provide an interesting contrast (other than white and black) between "Spike Investigations" and "Wolfram and Hart".
