the first series finale, 'the devil's hands make idle playthings'
post
An opera? About a woman? How deliciously absurd!
Me? Really?

Your writing lacks subtlety! You can't just announce how your characters feel!
That makes me feel angry!
I could hear it in the devil's voice nearly a decade after watching this episode.
It's crazy how a minor recurring character could by so memorable.
I love meta humour. I wish it would have been "That makes me angry!" just to make it a tad less on the nose.
That line is the Trope Namer for, That Makes Me Feel Angry!

Destiny has cheated me by forcing me to decide upon: The woman that I idolize, or the hands of an automaton.
Without these hands I can’t complete the opera that was captivating her
But if I keep them, and she marries him, He probably won’t want me dating her.
That whole episode is fantastic. Its top tier writing.
The only thing I hate about it is that it made the writers think they were good at doing musical numbers, and in the following seasons, they did a bunch of really, really bad songs.
||The Devils hands are idle playthings|| Honestly, this is probably the easiest one to guess.
