why not to watch "angel" late at night post-caffeine

So, I've decided deduced that sometime during the period in which Angel first moves to L.A. and is getting drunk a lot due to mopeage, he meets the Doctor in a bar, and they have a few beers and angst about the downsides of semi-immortality and the blonde young women who are no longer in their lives. (Also they probably save the world, completely by accident, and possibly in a manner that necessitates the quoting of "The Hollow Men".)

Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

I think it was everyone on the Valiant--it wasn't so much a matter of having time-traveled as it was that the ship itself was the eye of the storm or whatever. Basically the whole time-reversal thing went on around it, but the ship itself and everyone on it had actually experienced The Year That Wasn't and therefore remembered. (And yeah, Martha's parents definitely did--Mrs. Jones was originally going to shoot Saxon for it, remember, saying that "it still happened," and the fact that the whole family had gone through all this was part of Martha's reason for leaving the Doctor.)
