Angel #2.13: Happy Anniversary

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Meh, I guess here in the middle of the season, they’re taking a little break and just doing some standalone-style episodes. They’re fine, but not nearly as exciting as they were when Darla and Drusilla were around. I mean, this one was about some heartbroken scientist who wants to stop time, and who [...]

Angel #2.12: Blood Money

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Basically, the whole point of this episode was to target Angel on Wolfram & Hart. He does this, fairly sadistically, though since W&H is evil, it’s not a big deal. Angel also saves an orphanage in the meanwhile. The orphanage was run by Anne, who I’m fairly certain was on Buffy, for [...]

Angel #2.11: Redefinition

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

I called it! Last time I was wondering what they did to Angel, as he’s kind of in this dark place, but he’s not Angelus, he still has his soul. That’s what this episode was about, his “redefinition.” Angel doesn’t speak in this episode, we only hear his inner monologue. He [...]

Angel #2.10: Reunion

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

WHOA season 2 is pretty crazy awesome, except for the last episode. But now that Darla & Drusilla are both evil and teamed up and back, the real exciting stuff can happen. And in this episode it does! Angel tries to find them, as they go looking for a massacre. They [...]

Angel #2.9: The Trial

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

I kind of hated this episode, until the end, which kicked ass. Human Darla is dying, just like she was when she first turned into a vampire 400 years ago. Angel refuses to turn her into a vampire again, but wants to save her (naturally). So he goes to the singing karaoke [...]

Angel #2.8: The Shroud Of Rahmon

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Hm this episode was kinda iffy, until the end. I like the way they wrapped it all up. Angel went undercover as a colorful, extroverted, talkative vampire (oh the comedy). There, he joined a group of demons trying to steal the shroud. Turns out the shroud makes everyone act the opposite [...]

Angel #2.7: Darla

Friday, July 10th, 2009

All the Darla excitement builds to this, what clearly is going to be a high point of the series. Lots of flashbacks tell the story of The Master siring Darla, Darla and Angelus killing people, Drusilla siring Spike, etc. All sorts of Buffyverse lore. Pure awesome.
In the present, Darla The Human is [...]

Angel #2.6: Guise Will Be Guise

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Another fun episode, this one Wesley-based. Angel gets distracted/sent up to Ojai, where he meets with a swami who is supposed to help him stop feeling obsessed with Darla. So when some thugs show up at the office looking for Angel, Wesley pretends he’s Angel, and hilarity ensues. Wesley proves himself fairly [...]

Angel #2.5: Dear Boy

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Darla and Wolfram & Hart’s plan comes out. She’s back, and W&H is trying to use her to get Angel to turn into Angelus again. Why, I’m not entirely sure, I think they just want more bad guys on their side. Darla, however, on her resurrection, was made human. So Angel [...]

Angel #2.4: Untouched

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

I think this was my favorite episode yet. It was really cool, even though it was back to the regular “Angel Saves A Girl” storyline. This girl wasn’t a demon or literally haunted by demons, but had telekinetic powers and was figuratively haunted by demons. Angel teaches her how to use her [...]
