Angel #1.13: She

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

I cannot decide if I liked “She” or not. There was a lot of mythology made up just for this episode, and I’m not sure I really caught all of it. Something to do with women in another dimension being rescued and brought to LA. Some demons or something were chasing them, [...]

Angel #1.12: Expecting

Friday, June 12th, 2009

“Expecting” was an episode that felt straight out of Buffy. For instance, bad things always happened to Buffy when she slept with a guy. Here, Cordelia sleeps with the detective from Veronica Mars… and ends up impregnated with demon spawn. (I don’t think it was an unconscious rip, there were a few [...]

Daily 8tracks Mini-mix #13: Big Ass Chain

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

I lied. I’m really enjoying the 8tracks.com interface, and creating mixes on that site is a breeze. They’re quick and short and fun to make, I’ve been doing them only 8 tracks long, daily. You can do them longer, and maybe I’ll pick up some of the longer theme mixes I’ve been [...]

Angel #1.11: Somnambulist

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Well, right after Wesley showed up to great hilarity, this episode was almost unbelievably dark. Darker than usual! As said, Angel is always shadowy and brooding and haunted by his past and lost love with Buffy. This episode topped that all off with Angel having nightmares in his sleep of a murderer. [...]

Angel #1.10: Parting Gifts

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Even though I was surprised that one of the few main characters was killed in the last episode, I never did really take to Doyle. Wiki says that Joss both planned to kill Doyle from the beginning, and that his character didn’t mesh quite right. I think that’s right, in my opinion. [...]

Angel #1.9: Hero

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Holy moly, I did not expect that! So last episode, Angel was happy and alive and with Buffy, but he had to sacrifice it all for the fight against evil. This episode, Doyle’s turn. He finally gets Cordelia interested in him…and then he dies! I’m pretty shocked. As I keep [...]

Angel #1.8: I Will Remember You

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Wiki says that this episode is usually rated as the Best Angel Episode Ever. Hard to imagine it being topped, but I assume this is because it ends the Buffy/Angel love story? It did feel like a Buffy episode, in some sense. She shows up in LA, which leads to a demon [...]

Angel #1.7: Bachelor Party

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Like the last episode somewhat added some depth to Kate, this one fleshed out a little bit more about Doyle. Doyle’s a likable guy, and I can’t help but think he’s really there to play off Angel’s broodiness. Which he does, he always calls Angel out for lurking or dressing black or sitting [...]
