At Angel's Expense? - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

seems like there's been a few times in the first half of S6 (thats all i've seen - up to ep 8) where they've been making jokes about things from the Angel show...

for example they bring up the idea of Buffy charging people for saving their lives when she has money troubles....they dismiss it as a bad idea - how could they charge people, it wouldn't be right. Of course this is exactly what Angel does...

there are other things too, who can think of them??

i remember that one reference --

but my knowledge of Angel is limited to a one-time run-through of all th episodes -- so, i might not catch everything ---

in Tabula Rasa, when Spike thinks he's "Randy", he suggests that maybe he's a noble vampire, one with a soul, working for good.. and Buffy dismisses it, saying "how lame is that?"

am I right? am I right? do I get a prize?

you're welcome

I've also noticed a few jibes going the other way, from Angel about Buffy and co.. one that sticks in my mind is a quote from the Angel S3 episode "Fredless", where Freds mom is talking about her Dad's love of sci-fi and says something about him loving all the "Alien" films, "apart from the last one, he slept right through it".
The last one "Alien Resurrection" was of course written by our very own Joss Whedon

In the Angel season two ep Blood Money with the wild-west themed charity fundraiser, as the camera starts to pan away from a group of actors and guests we hear someone saying,

"So, when they made your character gay, was that just about getting ratings?"

I have paraphrased, but pretty much a clear dig at Willow's season four change of heart don't you think?
