Daily mini-mix #29: One Good Turn

Monday, July 20th, 2009

As a reminder, you can listen to any of the mixes I’ve made that use the 8tracks.com player. They don’t go away like the ones I did before. I tagged them all as “8tracks” though so if you want to listen to old ones (or ignore my ramblings about TV shows) use this [...]

Angel #2.17: Disharmony

Monday, July 20th, 2009

As soon as I saw the title of this one I knew… Harmony was coming back. My friend had told me she returns to the show, but I wasn’t expecting that for awhile. Turns out it appears for now at least it was just a one-time return. Harmony’s return was used to [...]

Angel #2.16: Epiphany

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

I was right, Angel didn’t go evil. The scene where he realizes this was very much like the one where he went evil after sleeping with Buffy, stumbling out of bed into the rain. But he didn’t. Surely for the reason I just said, no way that Darla is his ultimate happiness. [...]

Angel #2.15: Reprise

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

This episode was about 4 characters, sort of all individually. Kate gets fired from the police, and her last scene, she’s shown on the floor, with a bottle of vodka and a bottle of pills nearby. Did she kill herself out of despair? Cordelia was being lured to the house of the [...]

Angel #2.14: The Thin Dead Line

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

A police captain resurrects a bunch of dead cops, who go around shooting and killing people. Gunn tries to investigate. Wesley and Cordelia investigate some little girl who got bit by something and then had a giant creepy eye on the back of her head. They get bored researching, and go with [...]

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 [...]
