Yay, long and in-depth!

Instead of drinking in merriment now he’s drinking to escape the reality that he has chosen to stay in a city he loathes, drinking to distract himself from the fact that he doesn’t really know what to do with himself, drinking because he’s started to wonder if his big sacrifice means anything at all now that he’s no longer ‘sacrificed’ and drinking because he’s separated from the one person in the whole world he truly loves and he was the git who made the decision to stay.

Ouch. Poor guy. Though I tend to disagree about "the one person in the whole world" thing, but that's a minor quibble. ;)

She hands the bowl over to ‘bear’, not a real bear but a football mascot type of man-in-a-suit kind of bear. This, for me at least, causes the recall of the BtVS episode ‘Pangs’ (B4.08) in which Buffy fights a Native American spirit who takes the form of a bear. It’s not really the bear that’s so important but the fact that this episode firmly established Angel as an outsider to Buffy and her Scoobies.OH. Ha, I always ( ... )

Thanks for reading. I agree, Lindsey's inclusion in the season was a bit strange but for me, i rationalise it by arguing that he must have been totally peeved when he saw that Angel was no in control of the very thing that Angel (sort of) conviced him to walk away from.

Oh, yeah, that makes sense. I just wish we were given more textual clues about that, because as it is, it's quite WTF.
