V Music Reviews #1: The Field

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

As a writing exercise, and a way to filter through all the music I try to listen to, I am periodically going to review some music here. It won’t review every album I check out, but instead it will be by career. Often times I like to try to listen to the career [...]

Angel #3.22: Tomorrow

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

I didn’t really like season 3, but it was saved by Wesley being awesome, Fred being fun, and this final episode which sent everything into chaos:
1. Wesley shows he lost his soul (figuratively, not literally) as he has an affair with Lilah and treats her horribly
2. Lorne leaves
3. Cordelia ascends to a higher dimension (literally, [...]

Angel #3.21: Benediction

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

A lot happened in this episode, I think it’s building to some sort of decent ending to a disappointing season maybe. Connor and Holtz are back, and Angel is trying to win Connor over. Holtz pretends to want Connor to go back to Angel… but it’s his last attempt at revenge. He [...]

Angel #3.20: A New World

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

Connor is back, and this is how it went. First thing after returning from the hell dimension he grew up in was a big fight with the gang. He escapes by running into the sun, and then riding around LA on the top of a bus. Then he ends up under a [...]

Angel #3.19: The Price

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

With this title, I was hoping for more on Wesley (Price is in his last name), but nope. It was an okay episode, but it mostly took the air of one of those lame horror movies, as the hotel is infected by creepy glowing slugs. They hunt the slugs, fight them, get infected [...]
