Puppets and other stuff

Well, I stupidly broke my vow and watched an entire episode of The Apprentice because my neighborhood was featured on it. ( annoyed whine on the Apprentice )

Last night's ATS episode is really interesting. Especially what's going on with Wes/Gunn/Fred/Lorne.
And the fact that Angel is completely oblivious to it and what the mindwipe really did to his friends. Since we're mostly in Angel's point of view this season, we've been more or less oblivious as well, but if we think about it a bit, we start seeing the signs. I really did last night. Actually I had one of those, Oh my God, why didn't I see that, I'm so stupid moments half-way through re-watching the episode this morning. Actually that wasn't the only thing that caused this epiphany, something livejournal user Masquerade states in her livejournal pushed it as well. So did two offhand comments by livejournal user aresutha and livejournal user dherblay on atpo board. (Sorry every time I try to do the livejournal user html my journal registers it as an error. ) Nothing really direct, just an offhand comment about the mindwipe, Lorne, and well about metaphors.
