There's another compilation by the same editor, using many of the same authors, for The Seven Seasons of Buffy (that one has a blurb from Nora Roberts on the back--I knew she was a Buffy fan!).
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.
I have Seven Seasons of Buffy. Unfortunatly, it's somewhere in my car.
Makes note to hit Borders this afternoon and use that gift card finally.
Call first to make sure they have it in stock, Frank. Luckily, the Borders near me did have the Angel book, but I think they were out of the Buffy one.
It's on my way, so it's no biggie to drop by. I just haven't had a particular book in mind, and haven't wanted to go browsing (since I'd rather not increase my possessions much more before my move is finished).
I browsed through the Angel book at Borders. I was really surprised that there was no essay about Faith on AtS. Jennifer Crusie's article about "The Assassination of Cordelia Chase" was apt and sad-making.
Dan Kern, a gaffer on the show, did a piece titled "Angel By The Numbers." Including these numbers: "18 minutes. The amount of time the cast broke into helpless laughter and couldn't shoot the scene when the Angel puppet was first shown on the set." and "4 Conniptions Pitched By 4 Separate Producers the day Charisma showed up with short hair without telling anybody."
Also, apparently, he had a huge crush on Amy Acker.
There's also no essay on Gunn, sad to say. I did like the one about Lorne, though.

I'd do embarrassing and possibly illegal things to see any tape of that.

Apparently the 11 takes of AD ballet dancing in tights for Waiting In The Wings were just as amusing to the cast.

But she's so...homely.
