I totally wouldn't have hit you over he head and put you in the closet if I didn't have a really good reason

I totally wouldn't have hit you over he head and put you in the closet if I didn't have a really good reason - Even though 'Harmony' is a dimwitted trollop, she is a fun dimwitted trollop. I don't think 'Harmony' added much to the show but instead stole screen time from characters that I was actually interested in, still, this episode almost makes it worth it as 'Harmony' at least provided plenty of laughs, it's always fun seeing how she's going to screw everything up again. The episode also had some of my favorite comedy moments of the show, like the teaser with the Wolfram & Heart commercial - If you don't kill, we won't kill you, 'Harmony' trying to be interested in someone or guessing their names is also always a big hoot and don't forget the scene where she's drinking out of her thermos and begins to moan as if she's having an orgasm. That scene always cracks me up. The episode also didn't have much of 'Spike', which was good for a change, it's a shame he didn't actually leave as it would have prevent me from getting more headaches because of his radioactive hair color, I did like it when he asked 'Angel' if he had a message for 'Buffy' - Tell her you're a moron. At the end of the episode, the person (or vamp) who was behind all of this was a so called 'Tamika' who was just simply jealous of 'Harmony', I loved their Charlie's Angels-ish fight scene, it was the best b!tch fight on ANGEL as the show didn't have many of those. I think it was a very fun episode. Just fun. GUNN: All is well, oh, powerful one. The summit can proceed. VINJI LEADER: Killer must be found! Killer must be punished! ANGEL: Tell 'em we're on it. GUNN: You have our oath. ANGEL: ...Be disemboweled. VINJI LEADER : Filthy man whore! How dare you! You... ANGEL: He meant, be patient! The whore man is a novice in your tongue and makes foolish errors. We make fun of him, yes? (8.5 out of 10)
