Unleashed was old school, woman in peril, Angel the
series, and it was no surprise that yet again Angel came out on top, returning
to his season one tactic of “we have to save her”, which in fact was more of an
attempt to increase the dialogue of the random woman of the week, at the
expense of his more regular rivals. Angel played this tactic well, minimising
most of the other characters, at the expense of Nina. Who herself seized on
this fortuitous opportunity to grab a bronze and 60 lines, in what may prove to
be her only episode. Angel himself scored 93 lines, which means if he picks up
68 lines or more in the next game, Home through to Hellbound will be Angel’s
most talkative 5 episode streak ever!, given Angel’s form at the minute, it’s a
distinct possibility.
Angel’s we have to save this woman may have
minimised most of the other characters from the plot, but it couldn’t stop
Fred, who with Craft & Fain writing this episode, was effectively playing
on home soil with a 50mph prevailing wind aiding her. Fred took a 78, in part
through her attempts with Nina, but also by dealing with Spike in this game,
though for the most part it wasn’t any tactics on Fred’s part that achieved
this feat, just the natural advantage of playing in a Craft&Fain game. The
78 means that this episode is Fred’s joint fourth highest scoring episode, out
of all her 51 episodes, two of the other episodes in which Fred did better than
this, were Craft and Fain.
The rest of the other regulars, failed to perform
well. Wes got a pen, which whilst being the most interesting thing to happen to
him all season, wasn’t going to cut it as a line-grabbing tactic. Gunn went
with the flow, and took as many lines as possible from the actual plot, Lorne
did similarly but faired less well, whilst Spike ignored the plot entirely and
continued on with his own problems. Spike’s 28 lines, did at least see him
overtake Holland Manners, to become the 18th most talkative Angel
character.
