I still can't figure what they wanted to do with Angel in the beginning.
The more I re-watch, the more different he seems early on.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The filtery lights?

Not really. Her breasts still had a little baby fat, though, I think.
More Wonder Bra than baby fat, I think.

Giles is entirely too gleeful here.
"Maybe you could blow something up."
"The Earth is most definitely doomed."

Because books.
You know, human.
Totally.

Probably. They often seemed oddly pointy.

Exactly. Here's he sly, cynical, lazy, almost a tease. Which does not fit with the Angel who was supposed to have fallen in love with her back in L.A. and followed her to Sunnydale to "help" her.
I hate that.

Ahhh, the cymbal beheading.
Cheesy kicker line though.
True, but cheesy in a Xander sort of way, I think.
ETA:3600!
(Is that a glee-worthy number?)

It's interesting how much is exactly already in place, and how much is off in the pilot.

For one thing, NB and CC are completely comfortable in their roles, while everyone else is still feeling it out a little bit, even SMG.
And ASH's British gets stiffer from time to time with no discernible reason.

I don't remember this from earlier viewings, but it's very clear this time. Also, I suppose we should cut some slack for characters that were only supposed to be temporary, but it's jarring to see the difference.

Huh. In a writing way or an acting way?
