What significance to you give to the particular episodes that were repeated?

Paricularly by showing **Normal Again** is ME reminding us that they do have a way to end the series in mind? But would this ending also spell the end of **Angel the Series**?

I didn’t see them, but I am jazzed about the new episode coming up on Jan. 7!!!

Don’t think I’m above bumping my own thread if I haven’t gotten an answer.

I figured showing the last season finale was a Christmas present _S_

But that wasn’t last season’s finale, **Villans** (the second episode Tuesday) was the next-to-the-penultimate episode of last season…

Eh, I don’t think it means anything. Last year they showed **Buffy vs Dracula** around Christmas.

There’s supposed to be a significance to reruns? \<looks puzzled\> I wonder if that means there’s a reason the Distict episode “Drug money” is being skipped over in re-runs other than to tick me off since I missed it when it aired.

The significance to these reruns is that they are two of the four season 6 episodes that were never rebroadcast. (The significance of the episode choices for next Tuesday is that they are the other two that were never rerun!) 😉

Oh well. I guess sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
