- Quotes
Ethros Demon: I am Ethros. I corrupted the spirits of men before they had speech to name me. The child was but the last among tens of thousands. One more pure heart to corrupt, one more soul to suck dry.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Well chalk up one exciting failure. You didn't get that boy's soul.
Ethros Demon: Hmph. What soul? Do you know what the most frightening thing in the world is? Nothing. That's what I found in the boy. No conscience, no fear, no humanity. Just a black void. I couldn't control him. I couldn't get out. I never even manifested until you brought me forth. I just sat there and watched as he destroyed everything around him, not for a belief in evil, not for any reason at all. That boy's mind was the blackest hell I've ever known.
Angel: The marbles. That was you.
Ethros Demon: When he slept, I could whisper in him. I tried to get him to end his life, even if it meant ending mine.
Angel: You sleepwalked him in front of the car.
Ethros Demon: I had given up... hope. I know you bring death, I do not fear it. The only thing I've ever feared is... in that house.

Here as Angel and the family of the kid are about to do the exorcism, Cordelia starts making really bad jokes. Up until Cordelia started talking, the episode was shaping up as a very scary occult story. After Cordelia's remarks, the suspense and tension was gone.
Angel the TV series was always trying to be scary, but too cool to be serious. The humor was sometimes interjected in a way that vaporized the suspense or scary mood of a scene. You cannot take the leap of faith into the supernatural scenarios that Angel dealt with if the characters think it is funny.
