Finally, a thread I can jump into.
- I was a fan of Angel's "I don't give a fuck" phase as well. Very badass.
- I loved, LOVED, the "Awakening" and "Soulless" episodes in Season 4. It just blew me away, the first time I saw them... I didn't know what to think when Angel beat the Beast, then WHAM. You find out it was all a dream and he actually lost his soul. Angelous in the next episode is just so Hannibal-esque evil, I love it.
- Also in Season 4, I found the way that the big bad chick (I'm forgetting her name right now) made everyone around her happy. It was surreal.
- At the end of Season 2, when Lindsay makes his choice: he sells his soul for good (or so it seems), and stays with Wolfram & Hart.
Those are just a few of my favorites anyways. Angel in general was just such a great show. Maybe some of the swerves and stuff were predictable, but I set my mind to not think ahead... so I was shocked by pretty much all the "end of episode swerves".
I'll get into Buffy later.
