The One and Only Angel Season 5 Thread

Season Two is pretty good, Angel's 'turn' is pretty sweet.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Angel signing "Mandy" (hell, the whole "Angel-Sings") is fucking brizziliant.

 

Angel's turn, on the other hand, was fucking frustrating when it was happening. Reruns have been kind to it, and it's pretty fucking awesome, but at the time... fuck...

[Mole 0]

How come it was so frustrating?

MAJRO SPOILER FOR SWEEPS! DON'T READ IF YOU WNAT TO BE SUPRISED!

Spoiler (Highlight to Read):

Andrew will be making a guest appearance around the 100th episode during sweeps. Also around this time, the Slayer storyline is worked into Angel via a disturbed young mental patient in an episode where, if the spoilers are correct, is going to be exceedingly disturbing.

I caved in a read it, but that doesn't do anything for me.

Because Angel is the *hero*, duh.

Jonathan is on tonight's episode of Gilmore Girls. I just about marked out when Rory turned in her review to him (he's playing the role of editor of the Yale newspaper).

Because Angel is the *hero*, duh.

Ugh.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Blah.

 

I need someone to cheer for. When I can't cheer for anyone, I get frustrated (see, Being John Malkovich).

[Mole 0]

You sound like a mark....

 

I was all for Gunn/Wes/Cordy during that ordeal.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

.... Aaaaand?

 

Let me put it into perspective. *At the time* I had relatively no idea who Darla was - I was a fan of Buffy, but certainly did not have the, let's say, "resources" that I do now.

 

You know the show where they play with Angels head and Darla says she's another person?? That fucked with me too. There was a lot of shit going on in it, the world was in chaos, and the one solid rock you were supposed to lean on - the hero - was not so secure. The one person you know who will come through in the end and that you could cheer, was faltering. So it was frustrating to get through the shows. I didn't have the same relationship with Gunn, Cordy, and Wes that I do now - Gunn was pretty foreign, Wes was fun but still the nerd, and Cordy was just vision girl. That's not a great support system.

 

The scene where Angel lets Holland die, that was fucking INSANE... and I mean this all in a GOOD WAY because that's what they meant to do. They meant to frustrate you, they meant to create a world of chaos. Now, as I look back, it's more "fun" than frustrating to see how they build the show and knowing where they are going plus having that relationship with the characters, but at the time - shit, I was like "WHY ARE THEY DOING THIIIIISS!!!!" - so yeah, call that markish behaviour if you want...

I should also mention that I looooooooved the Angel/AI rebuilding episodes that followed.

[Mole 0]

Yeah, I can see what you are talking about. I saw the season on DVD this summer, so I knew he would go back to his regular old self.

Weird moment: VH1 is showing a TV movie about The Temptations, and it's got J. August Richards (Gunn!), DB Woodside (Principal Wood!), and Bianca Lawson (Kendra!), the latter of whom plays Diana Ross.

 

BIZARRO!

[Mole 0]

Kendra...?

 

EDIT: Nevermind.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Yeah you know Kendra.

 

"Thisssssss one is diiiiirty I can feeeeeeel it!!"

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

I forgot to watch last weeks episode...and didn't realize it until TODAY.

 

This season (moreover...this show) just doesn't hold my attention.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

I love this season so far. I've actually remembered to record it more than I have in the past.

The return of DUAL PISTOLS WES~!!

[Anakin Flair 0]

Wesley is THE badass of this show

[Anakin Flair 0]

Spike w/ the continuity

[Hank Kingsley 0]

Oh man, Spike is gold, as usual.

 

"When Percy here was younger, he was known as *HEAD* Boy! ...I have nothing else to add."

[Guest stardust]

"Wow. Turned on by a woman holding a big gun. What a surprise."

 

Then Wesley the Badass returns~!

[Mole 0]

AHHH!!

 

ANGELUS RETURNS...or they are teasing it.

[Hank Kingsley 0]

OH MY GOD. WESLEY IS SO AWESOME.

 

 

 

...no, wait, it wasn't really his dad. Booooo!

[Anakin Flair 0]

Next weeks ep looks SWEET

[Hank Kingsley 0]

Drusilla next week~!

[Mole 0]

1. Spike owned tonight.

 

2. It was pure Joss tonight when Wes bumped into the door and bumped into that chick.

 

3. I thought Wes' Father was taking Angel's soul out, that would of been much cooler.

 

4. Fred wasn't as foxy tonight.

 

5. We NEED more of Gunn fighting. I like the new Gunn, but we need him being a badass more often.

 

6. Continuty with Spike and Angel was awesome. There seemed to be a lot of that tonight when it comes to continuty.

 

7. We needed Wes to have more than a few minutes during a episode. I hope we get more Wes.

 

8. Lorne wasn't around at all. Is he even in the opening credits anymore?

 

9. Next week is going to own. When they do flashbacks, the episode is always awesome.

[Cavi 0]

I so marked out when Wes just unloaded on his pops/robot.

 

I got a laugh out of Angel and especially Spike at the end. Quality ep, I thought.

 

Dru!!

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Have they been using the "previously on..." this season??

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

I loved Spike's quote about sex with robots!!!
