I keep wondering if I'm the only person who was watching Angel explain his New Deal to the crew and all the while wondering,

"But he's still evil! He killed Aragorn who 'held him as a brother'! And he's not telling them this! That seems pretty damn evil to me! Don't trust him guys!"

But confirmed that Spike and Angel had gay sex!

YES!

I was pretty "yeah whatever" by the whole gay thing. All the sex jokes this season were amusing at first (Angel spanking men), but they've gotten old to me by now. They're just shock-value humor and do nothing but amuse some of the fans-- it doesn't contribute to any story line or plot.

I'd be impressed if they had a conflict that was connected in some way to Spike/Angel's past "intimate" liasons.... like Willow's multi-seasonal character arc of being gay that started with a funny one-liner in Dopplegangland.

Word to everything you said. Campy and slash does not equal plot.

Campy and slash does not equal plot.

Especially since we already know that ME is willing to make their characters gay, or make gay jokes about their characters (way back in high school for Xander), so it's not like a bold step. In a way it is because Angel's the actual start of the show... but it's so small scale I just get no reaction from it anymore.
