Just when I wished for a more entwined story, that’s exactly what shows up. It’s like the writers realize what they’ve been neglecting–here, Angel investigations–so they write one. Now Angel has a son, he becomes focused on making money… as do everyone else who works there (except Cordelia, which is ironic). So [...]

Birthday? Wasn’t a baby just born, whose birthday is it now? Turns out it is Cordelia’s, and finally they explain away her painful painful visions. Cordelia passes out from a vision, but is astral projected out of her body. She then is offered the chance to never meet Angel in LA [...]

Hm, still not sure where this Angel Is A Dad story is going. Here, he struggled with taking care of the kid, and wouldn’t let anybody else help. Turns out that lots of demons want the baby, which would be a decent story for the rest of the season… but apparently they fixed [...]

This episode started slow but ended pretty strong. In the beginning, it was just them trying to get Darla somewhere since she was in labor, while Holtz (who is lame) trapped Angel. Then though, Darla got to talking. She’s crazy evil, but the baby has a soul. So she sort of [...]

Unintentionally, this episode “Quickening” kind of slowed the story down. Basically there’s two stories going on this season–Darla’s baby and this Holtz the Vampire Hunter guy. The Darla story is kind of interesting, in how it may eventually mess with Angel’s emotions. But overall, it’s sort of lameness. The show ended [...]

Darla’s back! She definitely brings the excitement. I’m not convinced yet that the impossible pregnancy is a good story. I trust it will be fine, but the set-up so far is odd–vampires cannot have children. That’s really all we know so far, everyone is a little confused. But it does [...]

“Billy” was a mix of The Shining horror/hotel, X-Files monster chasing, and Buffy feminism. Billy is a demon who makes any man who comes in contact with him violently misogynistic. This led to two contradictory conclusions. First, Angel explains how he didn’t become misogynistic because he lost his anger and rage a [...]

Ha! The first 30 minutes of this episode were a build-up to Fred leaving forever. She came to realize she didn’t fit in. Apparently the other four people were devastated at her decision, but understood it. They were all sad and weepy. Then the last 10 minutes had her come [...]

Here, Angel and some old guy switch bodies. The old guy is lecherous, so lots of sexual misidentification hilarity ensued. In other words, a silly Three’s Company episode.
Also at the end, Cordelia gets the call that Buffy is alive. Still no more news on Darla either.

After using the 2nd episode to go into Cordelia’s visions, this one started out by exploring Fred slightly. They were all investigating a murder, and it turns out that it was Gunn’s old gang doing the killings. This turned into a thing about Gunn, and how he’s working with a vampire and all [...]
