Vradio #77: Umlaut! (A Heavy Metal Mix)

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

Some friends and I were discussing the metal music we listened to, long ago. The idea came up to do some mixes about what metal is to us, so here’s mine. Heavy metal, by the way, is completely ridiculous.

2. Black Sabbath “Paranoid”
3. Guns ‘N Roses “You Could Be Mine”

Angel #3.12: Provider

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

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 [...]

Angel #3.11: Birthday

Friday, August 21st, 2009

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 [...]

Angel #3.10: Dad

Friday, August 21st, 2009

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 [...]

Angel #3.9: Lullaby

Friday, August 21st, 2009

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 [...]
