	. . . Cordelia? That doesn't look a thing like Cordelia. But then again, likeness hasn't been this series' strength. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Cordelia looks like Cordelia as much as Angel looks like Angel. Which is not very much, but enough that you can kinda see it after a minute. If you tilt your head right. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I have this feeling this is all a mindfuck by some demons. (Reply to this)

	For a moment there, I thought your avatar was Sue Storm embracing Angel. Very confusing! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	he, now you've said it I can't not see it. I wish they had done cartoon Buffy minus Dawn. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	One of the things I loath about the introduction of the Judeo-Christian mythos or derivatives of it into an established mythos is that many readers (and even authors) assume it takes dominance over all the other cultures and mythos already established within it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	silicone_soul 2009-05-28 10:34 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, this. Also, it's a bit strange seeing Angel beating up actual angels. He's an old vampire and a badass vampire, but vampires are still supposed to be just about the lowest rung of demons in the Whedonverse, so it's odd that Angel is consistently able to beat up pretty much everything out there with nothing but his fists.

	Is he still human or is he an involuntarily ensouled vampire again? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hyaroo 2009-05-29 06:24 am UTC (link)
	He's a vampire again. He was only human for the After the Fall storyline. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	it's the whole "no God but me" thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	04nbod 2009-05-29 07:00 am UTC (link)
	but most monotheist religions believe in the same god, christian, jew, muslim all the same god by different names. I'd give Angel a break considering Vampire myth is inextricably connected to western religious practices. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	other societies have variations on the vampire myth (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	majingojira 2009-05-29 08:47 am UTC (link)
	Kinda. Folklorists tend to label any nocturnal blood-devouring predator as being a "Vampire" even if it's not even undead or derived from humanity like the Australian Aboriginal Yara-Ma-Ya-Who, which is more of a Tree-Octopus-Man than a vampire. (Reply to this) (Parent)

But the minute you insert other gods and pantheons into the scenario that statement not only becomes moot but null invoid. It would further be completly out of God's character for him to have created a universe where any other gods existed that were not demons or delusions. 1st Commandment (from the first set of commandments--yes, there's two sets of the 10 Commandments) and all that.
