Angel #1.3: In The Dark

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

“In The Dark” was the first real crossover episode between Angel and Buffy. In the Buffy episode, Spike tears up Sunnydale trying to find a ring that makes vampires unkillable. At the end, Buffy sends the ring to Angel via Oz. So in Angel, Oz shows up and gives the ring to [...]

Angel #1.2: Lonely Hearts

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

Ah so, what does a Batman-style superhero tale need? A friendly cop who can be the legitimate crimefighter! And that’s what the show gets in this episode. But Angel’s Commissioner Gordon is Kate, a blonde cop. Both are after some killer, who frequents a bar. Turns out it’s an X-Files-style [...]

Angel #1.1: City Of

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

I am finally watching Angel. I watched all of Buffy, from day one, but never took to following Angel closely when it was on. Dunno why really, but I am now in a goal to catch up with the entire Buffy canon.
“City Of” is the first episode, and therefore used to set-up the [...]

I’m not going to be writing about Twin Peaks anymore. It doesn’t compel me that way, like Lost or X-Files do. I will finish watching it though, it’s fairly interesting. I will probably resume X-Files soon too.
Also, I was checking out this site:

I might make some “mini-music mixes” there from time to [...]

Twin Peaks #2.2: Coma

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

OK so I remember now why Audrey is working at One-Eyed Jack’s… it’s because Laura had. This is contrasted with Donna working at Meals On Wheels… because Laura had. The dark side of Laura vs. her good side, I guess. Neither scene revealed a whole lot though. Audrey discovered who owned [...]

Twin Peaks #2.1: May The Giant Be With You

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

For some reason I’d been finding this show to be a bit of a chore to watch. Feels intimidating in some way. But I liked this episode a lot, and maybe it will spur me to finish.
The big surprise was that this show kept going and never ending. Turns out it was [...]
