I think Angel works best as a loner fighting for a grander cause while struggling for a connection with humanity . Jamming a kid into the show made some sense in terms of trying to develop Angel ' s character . But they clearly had no idea with what they wanted to do with Connor or what they had originally intended was scrapped and they shifted gears multiple times . I think it was clear that Connor screwed up the show as it injected something that demanded a lot of plot and storyline that just wasn ' t there . Season 3 only gets off the rails a bit towards the last 23 episodes . Most of it remains a good watch . But Season 4 is just not in my opinion . <| sep |> Never expel the Jews unless you need to . You take a hit to your diplomacy and get a 10 % national tax modifier until they ' re invited back into your realm , and you can ' t invite them back until your character dies and your heir takes the throne . Also be wary , for you ' ll sometimes lose technology points through random events because of your expulsion . One thing some people like to do is borrow the 300 gold from Jewish merchants , then expel the Jews so you don ' t have to pay it back . But in the long run , this hurts your realm more than it helps .
