LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2003 Well that's different than actually being his mother. I can't believe I forgot to set up to record again. Arrgh I'm going to have to catch this season on reruns. When's Angel going to be picked up in syndication like Buffy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest areacode212 Report post Posted March 27, 2003 When's Angel going to be picked up in syndication like Buffy? I believe that the general rule is once the show hits 100 episodes, it can hit syndication, but I think it only applies to broadcast TV, not cable (meaning that it's possible that FX can start showing Angel episodes). So...if this is the final season of Angel (it still hasn't been picked up for next season), we may never see it in syndication. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Season 2 comes out in September and, I would assume, that trend will continue with another set coming out every 6 months - much like Buffy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2003 I still haven't bought Season 1 of Angel. I don't have the money right now to be buying $50 DVD sets. I still want to get The Shield Season 1, Buffy Season 1, and Angel Season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cavi Report post Posted March 27, 2003 When's Angel going to be picked up in syndication like Buffy? TNT has the syndication rights for all four seasons. Word is that it's going to be debuting in their fall linuep, most likely in a two hour block (I assume they will be grouping it in with a big couple hour block with Charmed).

Guest Mole Report post Posted March 27, 2003 Is anyone else a lil disturbed by the oedipusness Joss has unleashed this season on both shows? First Cordy and Connor and now Spike, good lord man every one is a dirty motherfucker on this show.. Freud's on line one and he's scared...REAL scared... and coked up...REAL coked up. Heh, I was just thinking about that myself last night after watching Buffy. It is indeed a bit on the disturbing side of things. What do you mean by that?

Guest KingOfOldSchool Report post Posted March 27, 2003 The story about Oedipus, for anyone curious. There are more resources out there though, with different versions of the story. But they usually keep the major points. For the short version. He was born to a royal couple in Thebes. The couple was told that he would grow up to kill his father and marry his mother. The couple ordered for him to be killed by a worker. The worker took pity, gave him to a couple in Corinth and was named Oedipus. Oedipus grew up, and found out that he was adopted. The oracle he goes to however, reveals the same prophecy as before. Still not receiving a clear answer on whether he was adopted but disturbed by this latest news, he declines to go back to Corinth, which he still believes is his rightful home, and instead travels to Thebes. On the way there, he meets a traveler and his party. Oedipus kills the group after a confrontation. He reaches Thebes, solves a problem for the town and is granted the throne, along with the hand of, you guessed it, a widowed wife of one of the men killed by Oedipus. Years pass and the truth is revealed. The wife/mother can't live with it, and thus she kills herself. Meanwhile Oedipus feels that he has to be punished, for he cursed the killer of the King of Thebes, not knowing that it was him all along.... along with seeing what no man should ever see. And so he rips his eyes out and forces himself into exile. --- I left some stuff out, of course. But thousands of years after the story was written, Freud devised the 'Oedipus Complex.' Connor's story bears a similarity to Oedipus, which didn't really come to mind until now... He tried to kill Angel, though unsucessfully. Then slept with his love interest/the mother figure to Connor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cawthon777 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2003 ...Wasn't that the story acted out by Buffy, Willow, and Xander in season 1's talent show episode? BTW, I hate that ep (mostly because I've seen that and "Ted" 100x more than any other episode) but the closing credits scene where Willow forgets her lines in the play and just runs off stage is priceless!

Yep, it is. I love that episode, mainly for "I don't get it. What is it, avant-garde?". Armin Shimerman was so awesome on that show. BTW, if anyone wants to read the entire Sophoclean trilogy, all 3 of them are here (Antigone is my favorite): http://www.literatureproject.com/oedipus/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought you only needed either 3 seasons or around 73 episodes? I remember reading about the battle to keep the original Star Trek on the air for at least 73 episodes so it could go into syndication. And I wish TNT would pick up Buffy from FX so they could have both of them on the same damn network again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lilah vs. Jenny Willow vs. Fred Faith vs. Buffy Anya vs. Kate Kennedy vs. Tara Darla vs. Dru Cordy vs. Harmony Gwen vs. Glory Not sure if I would set up the brackets like that but let's see how it turns out... Opening Round: Jenny over Lilah Willow over Fred (very close) Faith over Buffy Anya over Kate Kennedy over Tara Dru over Darla Cordy over Harmony Glory over Gwen Quarter Finals: Willow over Jenny Faith over Anya Kennedy over Dru (close) Glory over Cordy Semi Finals: OMG ...

Guest Cavi Report post Posted March 28, 2003 My take on the women of the Whedonverse: Opening Round Jenny over Lilah Willow over Fred Buffy over Faith Anya over Kate Kennedy over Tara Dru over Darla Cordy over Harmony Glory over Gwen A couple heated battles in this round with brainiacs Will and Fred getting into it. Former running vamps Dru and Darla also brought the house down in an exciting, effulgent London Street Fight. Quarter Finals Willow over Jenny Buffy over Anya Dru over Kennedy Cordy over Glory Clean victories all around, except for Buffy who had a bit of trouble with Anya, as the former vengeance demon's literal interpretations of Buffy's retorts threw the Slayer off of her game. Semi Finals Willow over Buffy Dru over Cordy Decisive wins for Willow and Drusilla. Finals Willow over Dru Willow takes the crown, but not without controversy as Fat Willow did a run-in with a steel chair late in the match (well, it was more like a walk-in as she was already blown up by the time she made her way out from the backstage area). After finally making her way into the ring, Fat Will swung the chair at Good Willow but her ham-like hands were not enough to hold onto said chair. Good Willow cast Fugilis and froze her uncharismatic counterpart. Picking up the equalizer, Dru swung at Will, but she dodged the vicious attack, sending the chair right into the other Willow, shattering her in the process. Good Will then proceeded to stake Drusilla. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fazzle Report post Posted March 28, 2003 Ok, and now for my take: Lilah over Jenny (closest first round match) Willow over Fred Faith over Buffy Anya over Kate Tara over Kennedy Darla over Dru Cordy over Harmony Gwen over Glory Quarter Finals Lilah over Willow Faith over Anya Tara over Darla Gwen over Cordy Semi-finals Faith over Lilah Gwen over Tara Finals Faith over Gwen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
