Angel 5: Is That It? Am I Done?
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
It's OK because we are sharing a brain at the moment anyway (see my post in Firefly). Not trying to be stalkative (tm Cleolinda) - it just so happens I'm online & posting in same threads.
Wheee! My Angel Season 1 DVDs came via UPS yesterday. Now I have to figure out how to stay awake long enough to watch Lost and at least one of the commentary episodes.
Mine came the same day. I heart DVD clearance sales.
Saw the Firefly post. Perhaps we are co-stalking. I'm going to stop, though, as I must sleep tonight.
Ah, watched the commentary for "City of..." last night. At one point Joss said that he and Greenwalt didn't want to write a straight action hero. While I realize what he actually meant, you just have to admire how easily that statement can be turned around.
Hee!
I just watched "Supersymmetry," which was the only episode I hadn't seen.
Now the show is really over for me. *sniff*
It bugged me the entire season because I saw the same scene in the Previouslies over and over, but I didn't have it in the context of the episode. And it's so pivotal in terms of Fred, Gunn, and their relationship.
It was kind of cool to see Fred being so proactive and intentionally rallying against the common view of her (now I better understand the criticisms of her behavior in "A Hole in the World"). The shift to "I'm going to KILL him" seemed a bit abrupt, though.
And most importantly, all this time, maybe I hadn't watched the Previouslies closely enough or something, I had always thought Gunn had killed the professor by pushing him into the portal. But damn, he actually snapped his fucking neck first. This makes his later neck-snapping of that boy in the sewers even more meaningful, as well as his behavior at the end of Season Five. The man has a lot to atone for.
It said a lot about him that, in that moment, he chose to take on the responsibility so Fred wouldn't be burdened with that guilt. I'm glad I finally got to see it for myself.

In Sacrifice? Gunn punched the kid & knocked him out; he didn't kill him.

Really? God, my memory sucks.
Well, you probably didn't have to write up a 10 page summary of it. It's amazing how that etches things into your brain.
