The One and Only Angel Season 5 Thread

[Jingus 0]

I've seen Season 7 a couple of times thru now, and I still don't know who the fuck Rona was. She couldn't have been THAT annoying if I have no memory of her whatsoever. And anyway, why bitch about people like her and Andrew when there are targets so much more worthy of your wrath, like Kennedy or even The First itself?

 

Goddamn it, I thought last night was when Angel's new eps finally started airing. Imagine my disappointment when I get home and watch the tape, and I only get another crappy episode of fucking Smallville.

Okay, after seeing Apocalypse, Nowish, Habeas Corpses, and Long Day's Journey, I finally see what all the verbal fellatio of THE BEAST~ is all about. That thing is fucking AWESOME. The fight in AN just rocks. And, wow, Gwen is hot. This season can't come out on DVD soon enough.

Have you seen "Spin the Bottle?"

 

And THE BEAST is just the man, plain and simple.

[Hank Kingsley 0]

Yeah, Spin the Bottle was on Fox last weekend, and I loved that ep, too.

[Mole 0]

Yes, it puts "Tabula Rasa" to shame.

SNYDER IS ON ER!!

I don't know about other Rona haters, but I hate her because of her dumb comments when they kicked Buffy out. That whole thing was ridiculous, but Rona was the worst.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Rona was the real villain of Season 7, if you ask me. She's not someone that you love to hate, she's not a fun bitch like Cordy was, she's just fucking annoying.

[Ravenbomb 0]

Was I the ONLY one to like season 7? Or Kennedy, for that matter?

Loved Season 7, middle of the road on Kennedy

She has X-Pac heat.

God I hate the WB. I try not to read spoilers because I like to be surprised HOWEVER, on wednesday I flipped over to the WB and they were showing commercials. Well they show a commercial for Angel and about the final few episodes and the FUCKERS show clips of people coming up in episodes. So of course I knew about one person and two other pop up and i'm thinking, what the hell they just told me a spoiler. I wonder if they do this on purpose.

[Mole 0]

I think they are trying to sell Angel for the next 6 episodes, so that is why they showed those people.

 

Just highlight to read, for those who haven't seen the trailer and don't want to be spoiled about what is coming up.

 

I knew Darla was going to be in season 5 because she has been in every season of Angel, so she had to come back for something. I figured Dru would be back because she plays such an important role in Angel and Spike's past. And they had to have a flashback episode because they rule so much. I don't think I have seen an episode from Buffy/Angel that had flashback scenes that I didn't like.

 

And for Connor, I read the spoilers for the episode. I know why he is back and what is going to happen in the episode, but not how it ends.

[Anakin Flair 0]

Hell, I liked Kennedy. And I almost liked Andrew once or twice, but he was just so freaking annoying. Plus Anya died defending him, and I was an Anya mark.

[Mole 0]

Yes, Anya was an amazing character. Her sarcasm was so great.

[Mole 0]

And, 4 DAYS TILL THE NEW ANGEL!!!

 

Ohhh yeah.

Hmmm, I thought Connor was going to be in episode 21, but it looks like he'll be in 22. Now I know what the series finale will focus on and take makes sense to me. It will be a good way to end the series on, I think.

[Mole 0]

Now call me the RRR of the Angel thread, this is my 4th post in a row. Where is everyone? There is a new episode in 3 days!

 

Anyway, Charisma has a new show, but it is on UPN. From Buffy.nu:

 

Charisma Carpenter got the pilot for "Play Nice" the lead. It airs on UPN. She starts filming April 22nd.

 

Her co star is a guy names Tyler LeBean.

 

She is very happy with the people that she will be doing business with. Warner Little and Adam Chase are very connected with this project.

 

Mr. Little was with NBC for 10 years and was responsible for many of the great shows as well as late night TV. Adam Chase was a writer for Friends for about six years. So there should be some good stuff here.

 

She is a strong, ambitious pushing to make partner in a law firm. Sharing her apartment with a younger very sloppy brother who she adores and five dogs.

 

She does a lot of volunteer work where animal are concerned.

 

Good Luck Charisma!

I'll watch it, just to see what it is like.

 

ANNDDD, here is the casting spoilers for episode 22.

Hmm, this episode looks like it will rule. But someone who I thought was going to be there, isn't. And looks like Adam Baldwin will have a good amount of screen time. This is his 3rd episode, so he might be a big bad. And I think this Senator Bruckner is a Senior Partner.

[fazzle 0]

.........Must...........Not.............Highlight!

 

Must. Fight. Urges!

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

I do not appreciate my name being used in that context.

 

It does, however, remind me to post in the Firefly thread

 

 

The next episode of Angel looks to be one of the most "interesting" ones in the shows history. And I am not using the term "interesting" as in "it's bad, but they try", I am using it in the "holy crap how are they going to get THIS done." Very much looking forward to it.

[Hank Kingsley 0]

It's funny going back and reading the beginning of the thread. Everyone's all "This season sucks! This isn't Angel! What a disappointment! No story arc!" and now we're here and holy CRAP I can't wait until Wednesday.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Man, I'm reading some of the first few pages and... I'm one funny motherfucker. *laughs* *wipes tear from eye* *sighs* Funny stuff. Even if no one laughs, I still have me to entertain

[Mole 0]

Man, I'm reading some of the first few pages and... I'm one funny motherfucker.  *laughs* *wipes tear from eye* *sighs*  Funny stuff.  Even if no one laughs, I still have me to entertain

Ha, I hear that. I am the same way.

 

But yes, I can't wait for Wednesday. Only 2 more days!

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Yeah, but YOU can't masterfully use the word "fuck".

 

I swear, before this thread is closed I'll record all the versions of the word I've used.

 

Looking back on this thread, I'd say P4P (Post 4 Post), it's the second best thread I've read. I think I'll compile all the "By the numbers" we've all done on each episode and put em in a review of the season.

[Mole 0]

Yeah, I wish we did the same thing with Buffy. I am sure this will be a classic.

 

The only episode I didn't do the number review was "Shells" and that is because it wasn't an episode that deserved it. It was just an overall good episode.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

I should pimpsmack you for saying that.

[Hank Kingsley 0]

By the way, I wholeheartedly pimp the City of Angel website (cityofangel.com). Not only is it the best Angel website I've seen (look for the write-up on the Wolfram and Hart Annual Revue; it's awesome), but they have mystery VIP greetings from the crew of the show, including Joss, Tim Minear, Jonathan Woodward, Amy Acker, Vladimir Kulich (THE BEAST~), Drew God(dard), and Jeffery Bell, plus about 20 others.

[Mole 0]

I should pimpsmack you for saying that.

Slap way biatch.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Well... I can't actually slap you...

 

However I can pimp...

 

 

JMW aka "The Man"

[Hank Kingsley 0]

Keith Szarabajkakajakajskfsa's "Welcome to the Quor-toth" greeting may be the greatest thing ever. That and Woodward's Edward Scissorhands one.

 

The W&H Revue writeup just makes me jealous.

[Guest JMA]

I'm glad the season four repeats start on TNT today. I didn't get to see some of the earlier episodes from the season.
