I always liked the episode with the silly fight arena, where Wes pulled a gun on the gangsters.
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'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.
probably sometime after Faith nearly killed 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?
you mean Somnambulist? it was about six eps before Faith came to town.

Mmm, Hawkeye Penn...
It all led to the bucket.

No, the one with the actress who gives Angel a happy pill. Wes manages to take Angel down until it wears off, and gets complimented on his moves.
