The One and Only Angel Season 5 Thread

[areacode212 0]

True, Greenwalt's episodes veered pretty wildly in one direction or the other. For each gem (Homecoming, FHT, To Shanshu...), there was a "Happy Anniversary" or a "She" (I think Bai Ling was the most annoying part of that ep, though). Still, even his crappy episodes had some great moments.

He is a decent writer, but like I said he didn't do much for me.

Hmm, Angel kills with a spoon and a pen... running gag??

What's next, a toenail?

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Perhaps a Q-tip.

Ha, it'll be a cotton swab, copyright bullshit.

I know Boreanaz was planning on directing an episode this season.

I have a feeling that will be good.

Maybe DB'll direct the Harmony episode (#9). After reading a major spoiler for episode 7, I've vowed to myself that I'm avoiding detailed spoilers from this point on. But the way I understand it, Angel himself won't be on screen very much in that ep, so it'll be a good opportunity for him to be behind the camera.

Wow, that box set looks sweet. Feb. looks good, but if it is every 6 months then March it is.

Huh?

I was reading in the paper today that Angel's second eps.' ratings went up 21% to 5 million people - or so.

 

Good news.

[areacode212 0]

Yeah, that episode did really well (3.6--the last one that did better was Blind Date).

 

Final nationals for this week's ep came out a couple of hours ago---everyone dropped a bit, thanks to the playoffs.

 

From Mediaweek:

8:00 p.m. Smallville

HH: 3.9/ 6 (#5), Viewers: 6.47 million (#5), A18-49: 2.8/ 8 (#3)

 

9:00 p.m. Angel

HH: 3.1/ 5 (#5), Viewers: 5.03 million (#5), A18-49: 2.4/ 6 (#5)

 

-Grades:

Smallville: A

Angel: B

 

As solid as Angel is this season, the WB could have made better use of the time period with a fresher entry.

 

Also? Mark Berman is an ass.

I'd like to know what other show that the WB could have put in the time slot. they have all of what...3 good shows.

 

If they promote it enough, next weeks show should make the ratings jump. That preview makes you want to see it even if you aren't a fan.

 

ANd when does the OC start again...that will be the true test for it.

[Guest EQ]

I don't know about that. I mean... I love the show and of course I will watch... but if I wasn't a fan of the show and I saw that preview, I wouldn't care at all. You know?

[areacode212 0]

Exactly. WB has 2 new 1-hour shows this season (One Tree Hill & Tarzan), and neither of them are doing as well as Angel (though there are some midseason replacements in the queue).

 

The O.C. starts on the 29th.

 

Mark Berman is just a dick. I've been getting his newsletter since last season, and every time ratings came in for Angel, he's always made snide comments about it, but he loves to push crap like The Jamie Kennedy Experiment. Fuck him.

Well first, VIEWER DISCRETION...you got the young kids that can't see R-rated movies yet but want to see something naughty. And the way the commercial is produced, it looks like a pretty good horror movie complete with GUY SHOT AT 10 Frames Per Second SHAKING HIS HEAD SIDE TO SIDE® that is a fixture in weird horror movies. That will get the horror buffs to at least give it a look.

Anyone pushing Jamie Kennedy or his retarded ass show needs to be beaten.

 

 

I think I hate Jamie Kennedy more than anyone on TV right now. He's a total fuckhole. I'd give good money if I could get one good right hook on that son of a bitch.

Don't be hatin...

 

Don't.

 

Be.

 

Hatin.

DB's fear of chickens would make for entertaining TV, at least IMO.

[BlackFlagg 0]

hat was the preview for next weeks episode like? One of the drawbacks of not getting Angel till the next night is they don't show the preview for the following week

 

Just saw a commercial on FX, season 7 repeats start next Friday

Are you serious!? Wow I thought Season 7 reruns weren't starting until December or January.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

I'm watching Matrix Reloaded and I think the lady who played Link's sister (I think it was his sister) is the lady who played Jasmine last season on Angel.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

That is correct.

 

The Angel reruns up here are showing the Darla saga, "There's going to be trouble, and I say bring it on"

[The Dames 0]

The woman who played Jasmine (Gina Torres) was not only in the Matrix Reloaded, but also played Cuban/Russian agent Anna Espinosa on Alias.

Another factoid I found out earlier in the year - Gina Torres is married to Laurence Fishburne.

Damn. I KNEW she looked familiar!

 

FYI, she was also in Hercules: The Legend Continues (?) or whatever the show was called. I think it was a recuring gig, not sure as what.

[Ravenbomb 0]

on FX, is season 7 going to be shown all the way through or will they skip some episodes?

 

also, the episode(s) start at 3pm here, and I get home at 3:15. Should I watch the episodes and miss the first 15 minutes (I haven't seen season 7), or just wait for the DVD of it to come out?

Wait for the DVD.

 

Season 7 works so much better when you can watch it in a row.

 

The episodes flow into each other moreso than any other season.
