Re-Watcher's Council | Angel S2E21 "Through the Looking Glass" Spoiler Review | Snark & Brennen

Princess Cordelia. The Groosalugg. Joss Whedon doing the Dance of Joy. Angel discovering he has a reflection and immediately lamenting his hair. This episode has everything. 👑This week on Re-Watcher's Council, we're covering Angel Season 2, Episode 21: "Through the Looking Glass" — the Pylea arc's richest, most thematically dense episode and honestly one of the best of the entire season. Written and directed by Tim Minear, this one is doing a lot more than it looks like on the surface.We dig into the episode's central theme — perception and identity. Lorne puts it best: "They start to see you a certain way, you become that image." Every character in Pylea is being reflected back differently — Cordelia as royalty, Wesley as a leader, Angel as a hero, and then as a monster — and the episode uses the looking glass of this alien world to ask hard questions about who these people really are.
