'Sleeper'


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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

He's up to Wild at Heart.

I kind of want to believe that it was an elaborate joke and that he’ll just show up in the next episode and say, “Okay, I worked it all out!”

Well, not the next episode.

Cue evil laughter

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hee!

Me: Trivia: Tim Minear never worked on Buffy. Despite the number of times articles have credited him as having worked on Buffy, he never worked on Buffy. His work on Angel, however, is awesome.

cait0716: What? I never realized that he didn't work on Buffy. I guess it's just because he was so involved in Firefly that I assumed he had. I mean, the who Mutant Enemy team seems to stretch so far back.

Then again, if he'd worked on Buffy, it probably would have been canceled in the second season. Dude is cursed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yep, just like Angel got cancelled in the second season. Just like that.

It got canceled in its fifth season! It was a delayed release. Tim was still honing his powers.

Five seasons is a perfectly decent run. I will not bitch about that.

Would you say "Guise will be Guise" (Wes pretends to be Angel) the episode where Wes transformed from someone with a badass side that showed sometime to a full flown fulltime baddass?

I always liked the episode with the silly fight arena, where Wes pulled a gun on the gangsters.

I've got all of Angel on DVD, I should put it in my background TV rotation with NCIS. Mark Watches is reminding me how much I enjoyed it.

And seeing them all enjoying Angel's goofiness is making me look forward to the returns of Angelus, because Angelus is in no way goofy and he takes such joy in the pain of others. And Angelus can carry a tune, which was even creepier when they had him stuck in that cage at the Hyperion and he was singing to himself as he leaned malevolently in the corner.

But the Ring I think still was Wes as "having a well hidden badass streak" . Though well on the way to more. At some point he became a badass, full stop. Not that episode. But not long after.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

probably sometime after Faith nearly killed him.
