      Look, there are pineapple pizza people and there are non-pineapple pizza people. I happen to think pineapple is THE BEST pizza topping other than plain cheese. Other toppings I like are black olives, banana peppers, feta cheese, and ricotta cheese. Each works solo on a pizza. The sweetness of the pineapple especially works with the sweetness of the tomato sauce and the saltyness of the cheese. I’ve often wondered if other fruits like diced peaches would work as well but have never seen them. Pizza toppings vary around the world. In South America, green peas on pizza are a thing, and I would love those. In certain countries, maybe Australia, eggs on pizza exist. Sounds good to me. It’s time to end the pineapple pizza hatred forever before you start to come off anti-Hawaiian! Film some video of you eating and enjoying a massive slice of pineapple pizza!!

      Cordy had already forgiven Angel, the clothes were just the perfect excuse for her to express that he had been forgiven. This episode is actually about Cordy learning to sympathize with Angel through Harmony. She's basically in the same situation with Harmony as Angel was with Darla. She was trying hard to redeem someone whom she once shared a connection with, to the point of bordering on denial and it ended in disaster. In short, the clothes weren't the reason why she forgave Angel. Harmony did that by making Cordy understand what Angel was going through leading up to the point when he fired them. I'm quite surprised that this wasn't really touched on in this video.

    There's an important element that I think you may have missed. Contrary to the title, this episode isn't about Harmony, it's actually about Cordy understanding why Angel went dark. She's basically placed in the same situation with Harmony as Angel was with Darla. She was trying hard to redeem someone whom she once shared a connection with, to the point of bordering on denial and her efforts ended in disaster. By the end, she understands why Angel went to the lengths that he did to help Darla, which helped close the rift in their relationship. In short, the clothes were not the reason why Cordy forgave Angel, she had already learned to forgive him throughout the course the episode. The clothes were just the perfect excuse for her to express that she had forgiven him.

      Buffy the character was a different story. She’s essentially two characters in my mind, one for Buffy and one for Angel because she came across as really unlikeable based on her Angel episodes and that was too hard to separate out.
      In The Dark was a pretty perfect introduction to Spike. His charisma’s palpable from the first line and he was instantly a character I was looking forward to seeing more of.

      It also helps explain why she's changed so little as a vampire - she doesn't appear to have any ambitions beyond being popular and following someone cooler and more assertive than she is, so the vampire curse/demon had basically nothing to work with for her new personality. Being a bitchy high school mean girl's sidekick or a more competent villain's lackey is about as evil as she's capable of being.

    There's no one else like Harmony Kendall. She's a truly special vampire and similar to Darla, adds an interesting wrinkle to the soul canon. Also, she fits so well on this, especially with the themes of the show and provides the perfect amount of levity

    • @SuziQ.
      @SuziQ. Год назад +3

      I agree that she’s special, and I think she’s better as a vampire than as a human, but I don’t think she’s like Darla. Darla was a leader, not a follower. She was also a schemer, which Harmony was not. Harm could probably make a nail appointment, but not lead a pack of Angelus, Dru, and Spike. Her “minions” didn’t even respect her.

    You don’t disappoint. Yes, they used harmony as a mirror to Angel, which makes the whole series of Angel arcs a simplified trope of someone lost trying things.

Playing a 'vapid' or 'ditsy' character has got to be one of the hardest things to do *well*, and she brings so much personality and feeling to Harmony without needing the script to provide her with hidden depths that aren't there.

      Why did Angel give Cordy’s clothes away? That’s so rude, and mean.

      Hi beachgirl! Giving away Cordy's clothes isn't the worst thing Grey Angel did, but it might be the meanest.😄
      I feel that the source of the rift between Wesley and Angel is found in this episode. Wes was deeply hurt (being someone who is very sensitive about rejection due to his background) and Angel just doesn't see it.

    Nothing introspective to say except this episode helped me to find my favourite pizza.
    Ok i can if you really want to read it. It was 2011, i had a lil bit of depression and a PS2 in my bedroom alongside a CRT TV i'd taken from my ma and dads house before they moved to France.
    It was ny first flat, i had a job but zero surplus income, and had managed to fracture a couple of vertebrae because of daft decisions that come with Glaswegian capricious youth.
    With what little budget and hellish neughbours i had whilst watching the second half of Season 2 in bed on DVD after not eating all day i seen Cordellia's choice in meal and got straight on the phone as it seemed delightful in the joy i find in the sweet and the savoury (Sorry Ian) and it kept me going through the seasons closing arc.
    Anyway, 12 years on i still order Tandoori Chicken and Pineapple pizza. Better place in more ways than one but damn i remember this episode so well that i loved that comment right at the end of the video, in fact it made it one of the most memorable for me :)

    I find vampire Harmonys to be such an odd, funny and interesting character because in contrast to the massively evil personality shift other vamps have shes literally just her old self...with fangs. And after watching this ep tonight I thought back to BtVS S2 in 'Bewitched...' where Cordy calls her a sheep, and it clicked how true this is in vamp form. Shes evil because shes told to be evil. Has 'evil' plans because thats what shes seen and copied from others. She has a gang because thats what she did in school and other cool vamps have gangs so she has to copy all of them just to say shes cooler. And of course Harms gets suckered in to a pyramid scheme. Shes still a sheep and it makes her so different and funny as a vamp.

    Season 3 does backtrack on the ending here a bit once it's relevant again, so at least the nice juicy drama isn't completely wasted.

    Pineapple pizza is a cult. Because it is a tolerable combination and not an obviously poisonous retched one like burnt popcorn wrapped in a lettuce leaf dipped in tzatziki, it becomes the lone reference point for pizza. They don't know that the fruit flavor overpowers all other flavors, a mere delivery system for the pineapple, so they can't miss the the profile of flavors that complement each other so well; the spicy pepperoni, salty mozzarella, the slight tart of the sauce, and the crispy fluffy crust. People aren't putting pineapple into their cheeseburgers, steaks, fried chicken, grilled cheese sandwiches, lasagna, meatloaf, tacos, nothing else, it is just pizza. No, there aren't rules for food, eat what you like. But sometimes, people just do things out of habit or to be contrarian.

    • @TigerNightmare
      @TigerNightmare Год назад +1

      @Angela The point isn't that pineapple specific dishes don't exist, the point is that people don't replace non-pineapple dishes with pineapple variants the way they do with pizza. You don't put pineapple in lasagna, or any of the other things I listed. I put bacon and mayonnaise on my cheeseburgers, you think a slice of pineapple would go with that? Hell no.

    2:36 When you think about it, it's really irresponsible of Cordelia to let Harmony go. And for anyone to let a vampire go. We know what soulless vampires eat. They know they're basically enabling future murders to happen. I wish the writers had either had Cordy preoared to kill Harmony but hesitating/having to psyche herself up, or some sort of conversation that acknowledged she shouldn't have done it e.g.
    Wesley: you know that by letting her go Cordelia uas just released her to do what vampires do best - kill
    Angel (downcast but stoic): I know
    Wes: Someone really ought to bring her to see the seriousness of her actions
    Angel (sounding less certain) yeah....
    Then either have Angel slap Wes's shoulder, say tag youre it run away, or set uo the scene to make you think that's what Angek is gonna do then habe the squealing clothes jumping scene 😁

Robots only show up in the Whedonverse when questions of destiny and/or programming (river) become particularly relevant, and the nature of choice is never more relevant than when you don’t have one. It’s just the nature of unsouled vampires and traitorous geek boys that make them grossly sexual as far as “how do we get a robot into the plot goes” I suppose.

    Several things about this episode... 1) I pretty much hate Harmony, but I still love this episode. Though I suppose that's because I hate her as a person, but I do like her as a character. 2) pineapple absolutely belongs on pizza, when it's paired with a spiced meat. Pineapple by itself, or pineapple with a bland meat like canadian bacon, no thank you. The pairing of sweet and spicy is what makes it work. 3) With regards to Angel buying Cordy new clothes... on the surface yes, he's buying her love/trust again. But examined further, Angel is making reparations for the hurt he caused. It's not only about the clothes, it's about Cordy being made whole again by way of Angel restoring/replacing that which had been taken from her. And it's also telling that he could do so with Cordy, after failing to do so with Darla.
