Garth 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2003 I've liked Buffy for ages now, and i finally got round to watching some Angel off one of my friends, and wow. I never realised it was that good. Also one more thing, am i the only one who is reminded of The Rocks new enterance by the very begining of the opening credits. I always find myself saying "Is Cookin'" when i start watching it, anyone else do this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2003 The first time I saw The Rock's intro, a small part of me wanted David Boreanaz to bust out of the Titantron. Angel is a great show, especially when seen after Buffy. The crossovers are great and I'm still miffed at Fox for releasing Angel FIRST before releasing Buffy Season 4....thereby giving viewers only the second half of the crossover. I bought both at the same time. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mole Report post Posted June 9, 2003 I never watched Angel either until season 1 came out. I liked Buffy, so I thought I would give Angel a shot. So I bought the DVD, and I loved it. Season 2 comes out in August I believe, but I won't buy this one I'll just ask for it as a birthday present. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted June 9, 2003 Season 2 and 3 is when it starts to really cook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted June 9, 2003 I'll elaborate cause I haven't talked about Angel, seemingly, in ages. They started to find their rhythm in season 2, and in season 3 they continued it. In Season 2 Fred joined the show, Gunn and Lorne were mainstays, Wes' role developed, they move into the hotel, character development was high and they were setting everything up for season 3. Season 3 brought with it the start of the 'connor saga', which aside from connor, is a really great fucking saga. Character development continued, esp. w/ Cordy and Wes which paid off in season 4 (paid off good for Wes, bad for Cordy). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2003 Wait till Season 2, that really kicks ass. S3 is good also but I feel its a bit overrated, probably in comparison to Buffy's less than stellar S6 which aired at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mole Report post Posted June 10, 2003 I like season 6 of Buffy. I just don't think people liked it because it was a BIG change from the past seasons. They were trying to do something different, but I think it worked. Plus, they were mainly setting up for season 6 because LOTS of events from season 6 were continued in season 7.

Guest Cavi Report post Posted June 10, 2003 I really quite liked Buffy Season Six. As for Rock's new intro, Angel's intro immediately came to mind when I first saw it. "Hero" rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted June 10, 2003 I watched Angel until Darla gave birth to his son and then haven't seen anything until they busted Faith out last season. First of all...after they moved Angel's time slot away from right after Buffy...I couldn't be bothered to figure out when it was on. Then...when I watched the one episode this season I couldn't get into it so I decided I'd just catch up when the DVD's get released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mole Report post Posted June 10, 2003 I got caught up nicely when Faith came back. I read somewhere that Angel's ratings went up once Faith came back. I guess a lot of people wanted to see her. I am interested in seeing what Buffy's finale got for a rating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted June 10, 2003 Season 3 was one big giant arc. The Holtz/Angel/Wes/Connor/Lilah dynamic fucking rocks it. Everything started to connect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mole Report post Posted June 10, 2003 Damn, for UPN that's decent. I'm glad Buffy was on WB and UPN. If they were on any of the big 4, they would of been canceled a LONG time ago. Same with Angel, actually, I don't even think Angel would of been made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cavi Report post Posted June 10, 2003 Yeah, WB especially deserves props for backing Joss from the start. And it was great that UPN did the run in for the save, despite Moonves' dumbass comments when he took control of the network. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted June 10, 2003 I just got season 1 on DVD a little while ago. I'm on;y 10 episodes in. And even though I knew it was coming Spoiler (Highlight to Read): Doyal's death seemed more touching then Spike's for some reason. They should have kept him around longer And Angel's opening is way better then Buffys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Cavi Report post Posted June 10, 2003 What exactly did he do? He said that if he was in charge of UPN at the time when Buffy was looking for a new home, he would have never purchased it. He had also expressed his disappointment with the show's ratings more than once, which was kind of odd since Season Six did better overall than Season Five, not to mention that it's a niche show which hit its height of mainstream penetration years earlier.

Guest Lil Naitch Report post Posted June 11, 2003 I only caught a few episodes of Season 3 of Angel since they moved the time around ALOT. Odly enough, I watched it while I was on break at the Casino I worked at once or twice, and besides the the finale that was all I saw. I'm glad I was able to follow season 4, cause it ROCKED. And I can't wait to get both Buffy and Angel on DVD soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey hey hey...if it weren't for Abby kadeem Hardison wouldn't have a job and I couldn't watch it for 5 minutes everytime to see the girl that plays Abbys sister INCREDIBLE ass. Its good for something. Angel Season 1 gets called mediocre by alot of Buffy fans because it was so different. I LOVED the first season. It was a great season that took things in a completely different direction than what Buffy was doing. I saw it as its own seperate beast all together and enjoyed it more because of that. And the ONLY reason that anyone would think the Doyles death was more touching than Spikes is because we all know that Spike will be on Angel next year. If we had no knowledge of that, Spikes laugh-o-death would have outdone Doyles(which got me admittedly) by alot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
