Lorne says in 2.15 Reprise, “Most anything that can manifest in order to move in this dimension can be killed. Kinda the downside to being here. Well, that and the so-called musicals of Andrew Lloyd Webber.”
Angel the attorney

The following line was deleted from 2.15 Reprise:
Holland: “For a man who’s turned his back on his mission, you’re awfully scrappy. I do so admire that. No messy moral philosophy no guiding principles to muddle things. Just that pure, unpolluted human drive to win. You would have made an excellent attorney”.

David Fury
details | 2 comments | suggested by Jess
David Fury started out as an actor on stage and film, and then became a stand up comedian. He started writing for television with his then girlfriend Elin Hampton. The two wrote a couple of specs (sample scripts for TV shows which are then sent to executives as proof of writing skill) and from they got jobs on The Jackie Thomas Show and Pinky and the Brain. David and Elin were then offered work on two shows: Buffy and Life’s Work. David actually turned down Buffy, even though he thought it was a better show, as Life’s Work had the potential to be bigger. It was cancelled and he ended up meeting Joss again and writing the episode 2.20 Go Fish. His partner Elin took a job at Mad About You, and David got the job at Buffy. David rose from Producer to Co-Executive Producer in just three years, and was a Consulting Producer of Angel. Fury wrote a story called ‘Glittering World’ (a OMWF reference?) in the graphic novel, Tales of the Slayers. He was also the voice of Jock, in Raider’s of the Lost Ark. The clearest example of his work are the prop plane pilot’s words to Indiana Jones:
“That’s just my pet snake, Reggie! Show a little backbone, will ya?”
David played Gregor Framkin in the Angel episode 5.14 Smile Time, and appeared in the Angel season two episode 2.15 Reprise as one of the people sacrificing the goat.

Skilosh demon
details | add a comment | suggested by Jess
Skilosh demons are extremely violent, are skeletal, have ears with four ridges on them, and a third eye in the back of their head. They asexually reproduce by injecting their demon spawn into the skull of a human host. As a result, a third eye forms on the back of the host’s head. A new Skilosh will erupt, fully-grown from skull of its human host. If caught in time, a “deoculation” spell cures victims of the third eye and vanquishes the demon offspring within them.
Song of the South

Cordelia says in 2.15 Reprise, “Jeez, Wes, zip-a-dee-doo-dah, all right?” She’s referring to the Brer Rabbit tales which were worked into the 1946 Walt Disney musical Song of the South. The musical had the famous phrase, “Zip-a-dee-doo-dah” to express optimism.
