Yep, just like Angel got cancelled in the second season. Just like that.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

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.

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

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

Yeah, she put an edge on him.

Yeah, she put an edge on him.
Yes! When she gave him a chance to beg, and he essentially told her to fuck off was a transformative moment.
Was that before or after the pseudo-Angelus episode in the first season?
