By the way, the greatest arc ever in the history of television has to be the like 4 or 5 back-to-back Angel episodes in Season 4 that start with the reveal of
On that note; I have read the first collection of the Buffy comics (the long way home) okay, but not great and nowhere near as good as the show) I've never read any of the Angel comics. Overall, even though I love the Angel series, I must say I'm more of a fan of Buffy. The last two seasons weren't that great, but the first 5 where consistently brilliant (especially s.2 & s.3). With Angel I loved the concept, and think it was a pre-cursor of later tv-series and movies like the Dark Knight trilogy and Arrow, but I feel they where always struggling to come up with good stories, with the seasons really being hit-and-miss up until the final one. What I mean is; every season has great episodes, but also just down-right boring ones. Especially in Season 4, they where doing so great with the Angelus thing, and Faith and Willow returning, and then they just let it go to shit when
As you can see, I'm very passionate about these two shows, possibly even more passionate than I am about James Bond, even though I've been a Bond fan for a lot longer.
Perfectly sums up what makes them so great
Angel seemed to improve as it went along, watched most episodes. Remember the first season being less fantastical, felt more along the lines of Baywatch nights initially.
Yeah, Season 6 is when Buffy starting getting very depressing. Indeed, everybody was against Buffy,
I've never seen an episode of Baywatch Nights, but I've seen the intro's to season 1 and season 2, and the S.1 intro has a shot of Hasselhoff driving a car that looks almost the same as a shot in the Angel into, which I always thought was amusing.
Of course i forget was it Glory at end of season 5, been along time since i watched them. Season six indeed was depressing and lacked the humour of previous seasons, though i suppose with any long running show you have to mix it up a bit.
Yeah, Glory at the end of Season 5 indeed! From Season 6 on they moved to a different channel, and apparently Joss (Whedon, the creator) got the freedom to do whatever he wanted to do with the show. And apparently that's not a freedom he should have had, on the one hand; this meant we got the great musical episode, on the other end, it meant we got the rest of seasons 6 and 7 which where pretty disappointing. Although they still have some okay episodes, like the one where they all have amnesia or something and the one where the trio first start messing with Buffy.
That episode also has a discussion between the trio about James Bond. They are talking about their favourites and one of them (I believe it was Andrew) says he likes Timothy Dalton, to which to others give him the silent treatment! (I'm actually with Andrew on that one )
