The One and Only Angel Season 5 Thread

hey, I found this interesting site on line- It's a virtual spin-off of Buffy called "Watchers" where they take a lot of the main characters and some potentials and start a school. I can't really do it justice, but if you are interested ina take on what happened after..., visit this site:

end shameless plug

I'll check it out.

That's pretty fuckin cool. But the fact that they had the chick from Dawson and basically all the characters I hate, made me just read the opening of the first eps. Good stuff though.

[Mole 0]

I looked at it, but seeing Michelle Williams turned me off a bit.

[BorneAgain 0]

I first thought of it with the Council being blown up....could've found out that a slayer was turned a long time ago and has been kept locked away by the council but got free after the events with the First...maybe even released directly by it's minions, could work....you know the council would do something like that.

That's a hell of an idea. I don't mean to try and toot my own ideas here, or try and influence you, but I think the character could go well with mine about the big bad turning all the potentials evil. But then again you might have your own idea about what to do with her, so feel free to ignore this suggestion.

When I was watching season 2 the other day, I was amazed how much the characters have grown.

 

If someone told you that Spike would be fucking Buffy because he got a chip in his brain from the gov't and got his soul, Angel would fall in love with Cordy but first getting Darla pregnet and she had a son, Willow turned out to be gay and a powerful Wicca, and Buffy had a little sister who was annoying as shit.

 

What would you say?

[Anakin Flair 0]

I'd say they're full of shit.

 

 

then 5 years later I'd be eating my words.

 

Joss=GOD

 

And don't be thrown by Michelle Williams- it's a totally different character.

[Mole 0]

I still say blah to Michelle.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

I too say BAH.

 

That role, in theory, should be a romantic possibility for Giles. IMO Gina Torres would be a good pick - or the slutty chick from Firefly.

The SpaceWhore? I heard Joss wanted her to play Eve.

[Mole 0]

What does she look like?

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Morena Baccarin

[Mole 0]

Blah, Eve is sexier.

 

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Morena has...

 

Spoiler (Highlight to Read):

The Foxy

[Guest stardust]

I don't think she could have pulled off the innocent "I'm not the bad girl" act that the actress who does play Eve did, though. Something about the way the other chick looks just makes you think "y'know, she could possibly be a little bad" whereas the chick who plays Eve...I dunno, she has a bit more of a sweet and innocent look about her, IMO.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Yeah, but I see Eve as a replacement for Lilah...

[Guest stardust]

That's because you're a guy.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

And whatta guy am I...

 

[Mole 0]

Blah, we are really pressing for something to talk about.

 

And we have to wait till January for a new episode. Blah.

[BlackFlagg 0]

heh yeah....I think I'm gonna start watching my Buffy and Angel sets...actually I should anyway since Season 5 of Buffy hits DVD next month

[Cavi 0]

I believe the Boreanaz directed ep should be coming up soon. That should be interesting.

Actually, I wish they had grown more personality-wise. Xander and Willow and Giles all seem to be exactly the same at the end as they were in the beginning. (Keep in mind I've only seen seasons 1 and 7 though, so don't spoil)

Well I'm watching Buffy season 2 for the first time. So I could come here and ask questions and nitpick the show a little and you can rush to it's defense. Hey, it's a way to pass the time.

January? For a new episode of Angel? Or are you guys still talking about that Watcher's Council website?

Willow, the same?

 

Ah, go back and watch all seven seasons, and then come back.

 

I wish they did more with Xander too though, be he did grow.

[Cavi 0]

I hated how little screen time Xander got in Seven. Stupid SiTs stealing his spotlight.

[Guest Vitamin EC]

I think we were spoilt by season six in terms of Xander, he probably grew more in that one year than any other season. And then we have the complete opposite the following year and he really looked the worse for it.

After watching season seven a few times, the whole thing with the SiTs was needed. I think they grew on me, other than Rona.

 

And it's good to see Viatmin use his first post at TSM in Angel!!

Well, I really liked what Xander said to Dawn in "Potential"...it really summed up what his character was all about.

 

Spoiler (Highlight to Read):

XANDER Yeah. They're special, no doubt. The amazing thing is, not one of them will ever know, not even Buffy.   DAWN Know what?   XANDER How much harder it is for the rest of us.   DAWN No way. They've got—   XANDER Seven years, Dawn. Working with the slayer. Seeing my friends get more and more powerful. A witch. A demon. Hell, I could fit Oz in my shaving kit, but come a full moon, he had a wolfy mojo not to be messed with. Powerful. All of them. And I'm the guy who fixes the windows. You thought you were all special. Miss Sunnydale 2003. And the minute you found out you weren't, you handed the crown to Amanda without a moment's pause. You gave her your power. They'll never know how tough it is, Dawnie, to be the one who isn't chosen. To live so near to the spotlight and never step in it. But I know. I see more than anybody realizes because nobody's watching me. I saw you last night. I see you working here today. You're not special. You're extraordinary.

 

...and that's why Xander is my favorite character.

[Mole 0]

That part always gets me misty....
