I wanted to try something different with the thumbnail for this episode! I am finding Angel a bit harder to decide on screenshots for 😅 It's all much darker, and sometimes hard to portray the episode from one little image!

A pretty creepy and disturbing episode... A bit gross! I liked it, and Angel once more saves the day 🥰

I'm not a big fan of this episode. The actors are all great, and the idea is wonderfully creepy, but I think the writing lets it down. You pointed out one example: the injection was supposed to slow Angel's heart, but his heart isn't even beating. So him falling down and staying down for so long just feels like a (bad) way to have the scene where the doctor attacks the others. I'm sure that could've been included in a better way. It's cool to see Kate again.

I agree with you that this scene is incongruous with vampire lore as established by the Buffyverse. However, I think that the writers intended that the shot just paralysed him (similar to how the tranquilzer gun in Buffy affects vampires but without all the thrashing and histrionics Angel displayed, after all evil Willow just said "B__ch" and fell over) and then it wore off. But it is never explicitly explained. Many TV shows have what is sometimes called "The Book" which is a record of what is or isn't possible, what has happened to whom and how, etc. With the plethora of writers and Joss Whedon's busy schedule on several shows, The Book (or Joss) may not have been consulted as often as needed.

I believe this episode is considered one of the worse of the series. And, yeah.
