Unintentionally, this episode “Quickening” kind of slowed the story down. Basically there’s two stories going on this season–Darla’s baby and this Holtz the Vampire Hunter guy. The Darla story is kind of interesting, in how it may eventually mess with Angel’s emotions. But overall, it’s sort of lameness. The show ended [...]

Darla’s back! She definitely brings the excitement. I’m not convinced yet that the impossible pregnancy is a good story. I trust it will be fine, but the set-up so far is odd–vampires cannot have children. That’s really all we know so far, everyone is a little confused. But it does [...]

“Billy” was a mix of The Shining horror/hotel, X-Files monster chasing, and Buffy feminism. Billy is a demon who makes any man who comes in contact with him violently misogynistic. This led to two contradictory conclusions. First, Angel explains how he didn’t become misogynistic because he lost his anger and rage a [...]

Ha! The first 30 minutes of this episode were a build-up to Fred leaving forever. She came to realize she didn’t fit in. Apparently the other four people were devastated at her decision, but understood it. They were all sad and weepy. Then the last 10 minutes had her come [...]

Here, Angel and some old guy switch bodies. The old guy is lecherous, so lots of sexual misidentification hilarity ensued. In other words, a silly Three’s Company episode.
Also at the end, Cordelia gets the call that Buffy is alive. Still no more news on Darla either.
