S1E2: The One with Totally Subtle Metaphors for Loneliness and Connection
Episode description
In this spoiler friendly review of the Angel episode “Lonely Heart,” hosts Steven and Cari discuss Angel's phonebook etiquette, the Hollywood Homely male equivalent of glasses and a ponytail, whether or not Steven has ever used the word "whack" and why a grappling hook is a versatile, must-have tool to have on hand in all situations.
In case it’s been a while since you hit up the L.A. club scene with Angel and the gang, here's a quick episode recap: Doyle gets a nice and vague vision of a nightclub, and Angel Investigations sets out to work their first case as a team. Angel makes a connection with a blond woman named Kate, Cordelia tries to connect with the barflies to drum up some business, and Doyle's head makes a connection with some douchey guy's face. Meanwhile, the body count racks up as we are treated to our first monster of the week in the series in the form of a not so subtle metaphor for the perils of modern dating.
