Now to the poll...

Last week we asked, "Which is the best Angel Season 2 Episode?" Here are the results...

Darla - 18.7%
There's No Place Like Plrz Glrb - 12.1%
Are You Now, Or Have You Ever Been - 10.9%
Epiphany - 9.3%
Disharmony - 7.5%
Reunion - 7.2%
Through The Looking Glass - 6.2%
Reprise - 4.7%
The Trial - 4.0%
Over The Rainbow - 4.0%
Dead End - 2.8%
Dear Boy - 2.5%
Guise will be Guise - 1.9%
Rededication - 1.9%
The Thin Dead Line - 1.9%
Shroud of Rahmon - 1.6%
Judgment - 0.9%
Happy Anniversary - 0.9%
First Impressions - 0.3%
Untouched - 0.3%
Belonging - 0.3%

Total votes: 321

So Darla wins it, with Plrz Glirb and the Angel hotel flashback special rounding out the Top 3. Those 3 autmatically advance to the next level.

Let's see what you all had to say....

"I voted Thin Dead Line. Angel is still doing his thing, the demon asks him about his friends and if he even still cares for them. Then, Wes gets shot and Cordelia stands up to Angel. Not to mention we first see the evil eye. LoL"
- Aeryn

"Reunion had the fabulous team of Darla and Drusilla - deliciously playful on their shopping spree - and the morally ambiguous Angel who lets the girls have an all-you-can-eat layer buffet. One of my favorite lines of the season is when he closes the wine cellar on them... Fabulous!"
- oheyhowdyo

"I chose 'Epiphany.' It was great to see Angel return to the fold after the estrangement. And when he said there is 'no bigger meaning than the smallest act of kindness,' I was so proud of him. It was refreshing to have him stop focusing on the big picture and start looking at life in a day-to-day manner."
- RedHeadedWitch

"Darla was awesome. I love eps that have flashbacks. And it was a great tie-in to Fool for Love."
- milesfrom7~3~0

"I just love are you now or have you ever been because seeing Angel's past unravels some of the mystery behind Mr Tall Dark and Forehead."
- ssjo

"Hmmm... hard one, so many great episodes in this season. The dark Angel arc and the Pylean one too ("Numfar, do the dance of joy!"... Classic!) I voted for Epiphany for Angel and Kate's talk at the end. Angel doesn't care if what he does changes the world ot not, he just does it because it's right. Amazing. Plus Kate's "I never invited you in..." really caught me by surprise. Really great season..."
- fat tony

"For me, Are You Now or Have You Ever Been is the best of Season 2 if not the entire series. It was Minear at the top of his game really capturing the spirit of the period he was writing about and proving that he knows the characters better than Joss does."
- Tycho

"'Are You Now or Have You Ever Been' is AMAZING! When I saw it I was blown away. It's an unbelievable episode. It's probably my favourite one to date."
- mrsmarsters

"I said "Reprise", actually. Doesn't seem to be too popular on your list as of yet. I liked it because I thought it beautifully portrayed Angel's slow descent into darkness. The way he was slipping was breathtaking, and you could see the hopelessness in his face. Great job by DB, and the last scene with Darla is great. Of course, the parallels with 'Suprise/Innocence' in the next episode were very intruiging as well."
- jojo

"How could "Dead End" not have more votes?! Angel putting the "Cops Suck" sign on Lindsey's truck... Evil hand grabbing Lilah's ass? It was too funny! Can the voters stop being so obvious?"
- kymy_49

"I went with ' Disharmony' The gang was getting back together, Harmony was laugh out loud funny. And Cordy put Angel in his place. What more could you ask for??"
- Bufflover

Pretty weak week for the poll. 321 votes (lousy) and not very many comments either. Oh well, start voting for the Angel season 3 poll now. ;)

That's it for now. I'm off for a 3 hour drive through snow (most likely). See you when I get back.

El Presidente's Daily Proverb:
"If I were a slayer I would start one of those traveling shows, like the Wild West Show. But I would feature angst and dumpster sex."
