Dec. 18th, 2011 03:37 pmOr Why Seven Years Later Angel Season 4 Can Still Bite Me!
It's become apparent, as I begin my Angel season 5rewatch, that I should probably start off by stating why I am only watching it now, or I'll end up going on and on about it instead of talking about the episodes. Well, that's pretty easy:
Season 4. Man, how I hated that season.
( Okay, a little more. )
Ok, so that's a little bit more than just a little more.
So why now? Well, the betrayed fannish rage has gone, despite what the above wall o' text may indicate, and I know how things turn out, and that the source of my rage was addressed (though not by choice. Grr writers, what were you thinking wanting to make AtS 100th ep All About Buffy?). I want to see what a distanced perspective would bring.
Two eps in? Woah, the loss of Cordelia is really, really obvious here. That and whoa, James Marsters looks rough. But I'll go into that more later.
