I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!

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.

I vote nay. I'm going with Reprise through Dead End as the best consecutive four.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I vote nay, largely because I loathed Hole in the World when it aired. I'm not sure I'd regard Why We Fight as good enough to sustain that assessment either, but I do love the outraged delivery of "I was Rasputin's lover!"

Also, "This bathysphere is perplexing..."

But yeah, I find A Hole in the World to be infuriatingly terrible, and Why We Fight is only good because it enabled me to taunt people with "nautilus" for a few months. I don't know if Angel managed 4 good episodes in a row that often, but I'm sure I'd go with some set in S4.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I hated season 4 when it aired, to the point where I seriously considered stopping watching. So that's a nay.

I'm going with Reprise through Dead End as the best consecutive four.

Alibelle is me.

::vehement nodding:: season two remains my favorite. i hate that they only brought Lindsey back in season five to kill him.

hip deep in pie

I'm in the Season Two camp. I think Season four coloured even Season Five for me.

For me, the problem is that it includes Epiphany. I'd been hoping for a better pay-off from the whole "Angel goes dark" than a couple of life-affirming platitudes and Lorne offering him absolution of guilt.

Not just for that! Also so there'd be someone who didn't make Spike look teeny.

Reprise through Dead End

I am so there. It never got that good for me again.

Compassionately intolerant

This is me.

This is totally me.

I, too, lament the loss of Lindsey and his coming back for the two reasons mentioned, to toss a couple of snarky lines ("I breeze out.") and to set up the Whoa-we-didn't-see-that-coming dark moment for Lorne.

Oh, and the shiny shirtlessness...so I guess it wasn't a total loss.
