On a FRESH Angel on Top... For seasons, we've all heard tales of Drogyn, the Keeper of the Deeper Well. He's basically all that anyone ever talks about on this show. And this week—in the second to last episode of Angel ever—Drogyn RETURNS.

Bad news, Scoobies: Khaki Connor is NOT in this episode of Angel. Instead, we're left with a few beta males and a ticking time bomb (hey, that's the title!).

So join your hosts LaToya Ferguson and Morgan Lutich (AKA Captain Forehead and AK William Bloody, AKA the Gunn Squad, and so much more) this week as they discuss the Angel Season 5 episode "Time Bomb," ANOTHER non-Groundhog Day Whedonverse time loop episode.

Scoobies (or should we say "Angel's Avengers?"), what exactly is the difference between a cellar and a basement?

When you're a vampire with a soul, you learn to live with the idea of people wanting you dead. ... Work long enough and the line to kill you gets pretty long."

In any other instance, realizing that there's an episode of Angel where Cordelia Chase descends a staircase and delivers dramatic news could truly be one of the greatest things ever.
