The One and Only Angel Season 5 Thread

It's easy to turn that board into a Buffy/Angel chat, so its not limited to firefly. -
<--- King of the Mudders When the actors start posting, then I'll go fucking nuts.

I heard they are on sale in Toronto.

It's a curse. Ignoring peoples warnings of danger. Man, if I had a nickel...

You haven't said enough... *puts on device* AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! *takes off device* You've said enough.

Not so weird... *puts down "DYNAMITE KIDO'S MIND READING DEVICE"*

Serenity Movie Website Official Website Now Up. It's pretty fun. The board has 1500 and counting in just a day; the chat is fun and you'll get anywhere from 3-11 people on (thus far); and the points game is nifty cause you can win free stuff.

So why are the buns still round?

I could. But then again, you'd have to be willing to accept Funaki and his magical story of coming back from a post-apocalyptic future to stop Mark Jindrak and JBL from destroying the world. Now, you'd think it was Mordecai with whom he'd have his concerns with - but that's a red herring, which, under the Rudo Administration, would be played up - and Funaki may or may not die in trying to get someone -probably Orlando Jordan- to take up the cause.

The One and Only Angel Season 5 Thread
RavishingRickRudo replied to Steve J. Rogers's topic in Brandon Truitt
If you were to give somebody a comp with ten (or twelve) episodes from Angel to introduce them to the series, what eps would you choose? Keep in mind you not only have to take episodes that are good, but will reflect some characters and their individual arcs as well as some of the major parts of the series. Can it be done? Nope. Now, I haven't taken a look at all the episodes and actually tried this, but I can't imagine it working very well. There are 3 large story-arcs in the Angelverse - the Darla Saga, the Connor Saga, and the WR&H Saga. Now, you could find 10 episodes to reflect each of these Sagas, but you couldn't get away with only having 4 episodes to reflect them (that's assuming we have 12). I think a comp of "Fred and Wes" could be plausible - though you might have to need a little bit more than 12. The Pylea arc, Billy, Waiting in the Wings, The episode where Gunn kills the Professor, (there should be 3 or 4 more season 3 and 4 episodes, but I can't think of em now), and then the Illyria arc. -
They're doing nothing with Stacy, so that's the "best" bet. Stacy has been acting all bubbly as-of-late (moreso than usual) so she'll probably hook up with Eugene and wish him luck before a big match and he'll get a funny feeling and show Regal and Regal will give a classic reaction. Bischoff will see this and tell Stacy if she doesn't go along with the plan then she is fired. She'll end up falling for Eugene and she'll get fired or something and it ends up with Regal and Stacy getting drugged and Eugene finding them in bed with each other.
-
How long until they give Eugene a love interest - who gets hired by Bischoff to break his heart - and she ends up with a bucket of slop poured over her head?
-
Classic. Oops, I mean... Classic

The McMahons helped give Flair back his faith in himself so he can continue-on wrestling? Reason #69840 to hate the McMahons.
-
The whole _system_ needs to go. Because the system they have right now is "Ok, let's tell Vince (and Steph) what they want to hear" - everyone is spineless, and with good reason too, because they'd probably fire you or bury you for speaking-out. It's not a very productive, healthy, environment.
-
The real problem is -and it's obvious but I have to say it- is that whomever they hire to look after continuity, will just get overruled and ignored. If plot holes haven't been a concern for the past -oh- FORFUCKINGEVER, then it won't be now. Vince's brainchild and WWE politics will take precident, even if it doesn't make a lick of sense.

Pin, that's absolutely shameless. SHAMELESS. You were having an innocent lil conversation and you MANIPULATED this "coworker" into watching Firefly. That's downright... ...Awesome! Firefly has the benefit of the DVD's, which really helps word of mouth. I don't know if the critics will be a factor, cause, well, Firefly would still be here today on TV but that contributes to WoM.

I must have missed all those Orton, Bischoff & Kane main events. HBK is out of the picture for the moment. Eugene is only as important as the friends who help him, primarily Benoit or Rock. Main Events don't indicate importance - how much TV time is dedicated to wrestlers/performers does. It just-so-happens that a lot of the time TV time is dedicated to building up the main event... In Benoits case, however, that is not true. All the guys I mentioned get _talked about_ more by JR and King and are featured more prominently than Benoit. As Loss said, those guys are on everyones minds before Benoit. Well what do you see as a solution RRR? Who would you have him up against and what story would it be pushing? That's a loaded question considering they've done relatively nothing for him or his feuds for the past few months, so there's no foundation to build upon. Because every other situation is worse. "Best of the Worst" isn't a good point; it's still bad Complaining about how he is being booked is one thing, but most of the people in this folder these days seem to be complaining about Benoit being champion. That if he loses the belt, all of these problems simply go away. I don't see that as the case - I see it as (most) people being frustrated that ever since Benoit has been "given the ball" he's been sitting on the bench while the game gets played infront of him. People want him to be the main guy - and that doesn't mean 30 minute promos and the whole show about him and JR and King talking about him during every match - what it DOES mean, however, is that if he isn't getting that, then NO ONE ELSE SHOULD because it makes him look bad. Besides, at least he beats everybody. That's something. The in-ring product is what is important, moreso than this extra-curricular stuff. Yes, because I really enjoy his dozen matches (in some form) against Flair. Boy-o-Boy, can I have another tag match, sir? So Kane gets more screentime on weeks Benoit isn't actual wrestling do to this terrible Lita angle. That still doesn't mean people see him as actually standing a chance at beating Benoit. You don't go to Spider-Man to see Spidey yap with MJ for 2 hours. You go to see him fight Dr. Octopus. The payoff is what people remember, and thus far Benoit's beaten HHH, HBK & Orton quite convincingly. These are guys who almost never lose, except to each other. What does "beating" them do? When he is in the same place now as he was before? And he beat HBK and HHH in 3-ways and Orton in a tag - big man.

Loss is taking the Coey(1) system of giving star ratings to matches worth giving star ratings to. Anything that doesn't get one you can assume is under ***(2). (1) I don't actually know if Coey started that (3) (2) I don't actually know if this is the case (3) (3) But I'm pretty sure I'm right.

*big pop for chuck norris getting thanked* It made no sense at all, and in that, it made perfect sense.

The One and Only Angel Season 5 Thread
RavishingRickRudo replied to Steve J. Rogers's topic in Brandon Truitt
Adam could beat both Caleb and Hamilton because they could both be penetrated by bullets (Caleb being killed by the scythe and hamilton being bitten) and Adam has a freaking machine gun for a hand. Caleb and Hammy would have to be superfast to punch a hole through his chest and avoid the bullets - and their speed isn't really shown on the show... they just walk... None of them could kill THE BEAST though, because he couldn't be penetrated at all expect by his own bone - which we can assume they don't have in their possession. -
Regal is the true hero in this story and I hope the WWE sees that (I'm getting mixed signals on that - Kane squashing him on RAW didn't help him out at all). I loved how he admitted he was a bad person and always will be, but he can still see how special Eugene is and how he cares about him. If his wrestling is up-to-par, they could push him pretty far if they treat him right.

I really don't understand how this all is supposed to help Benoits case. Actually, I don't even know what you are doing besides telling us we have to accept it.

The One and Only Angel Season 5 Thread
RavishingRickRudo replied to Steve J. Rogers's topic in Brandon Truitt
Considering she was OFF THE SHOW for half the year and rarely ever talked about along-with having one of the worst seasons for a character EVER in Season 4 - you not caring about her death is perfectly normal. -
HHH Kane Bischoff HBK Eugene Orton *Six* people who are given more importance than Benoit. It's pathetic. You can't excuse that and you can't dismiss it.
