Last episode rocked my face. Dawn was just created and dropped into Buffy’s life (biggest reveal since Faith was alive? Yeah)? Giles has a magic shop and wore a hat ? Spike said his big line ?...

Sorry it took me so long to get this post up, guys. I watched the episode a couple times, if that makes you feel any better. In terms of juxtaposing the lightness and humor of season one with t...

Buffy. That’s not how it works. You gotta look in the chat rooms, duh.

After a lot of waffling around, things are finally starting to heat up on Angel.  After First Impressions , we’re starting to see a consistent threat from Wolfram & Hart.  They are developing...

Following swiftly on the heels of the atrociously-written “Are You Now or Have You Ever Been Bored to Tears by This Show,” episode 3, “First Impressions ” delves a little deeper into Ange...

This episode was all about Riley and I hate it. My least favorite things happened in this episode. Neither Riley or Joyce died. Why does this episode even exist? Remember when Riley was havin...

If you’re still not watching, season 5 is the place to start. We’ve definitely gotten back the quirkiness and camaraderie of season 1, (without the terrible clothing and bad hair). Xander is ...

One of the neat things about having a centuries-old main character is that you get the chance to see some pretty major character development.  Are You Now or Have You Ever Been  gives us a glim...

I think this says it all. Oh, except “Happy Valentine’s Day!”

My first typed notes on this episode are, “Cordy and Wesley are suddenly awesome?” After a weird demon-nightclub montage, Season 2 of Angel opens with brief scenes highlighting Cordelia’s d...

Okay so the eff? There’s someone new that I have to worry about? And she has a title card already? Uggggghhhhh, I can’t. Bye.  I was real excited about the start of this season. We had a g...

The first time I watched “Buffy vs. Dracula,” I hated it. But now that I’ve actually seen “Restless,” it fits into my understanding of the story arc more fully. I love how the episode ...

https://betterthanvisitingsunnydale.tumblr.com/post/42270905551

I can now safely assert that the season finales of both Buffy and Angel were pretty damn weird. I think that weirdness worked well for “Restless,” but wasn’t quite as effective in “To Sh...

Thomas spoke too soon earlier; Taylor asked me to cover this week’s first Angel post.  However, you are free to continue to peruse Angel Does Stuff and/or Thomas’ line-by-line reaction to �...

Taylor is on vacay because she wanted to go on vacay.  The last two episodes of Angel will be discussed whenever she feels like posting and Buffy will resume when we figure out what we’re do...

I might lose my Buffy street cred by admitting this, but I’d only watched 2 minutes of “Restless”   before I watched it for this post. Why? When I first started watching the series, I wat...

Guys. I’m nervous. “Yoko” left everybody sad and mad at each other. And I’m lost. Completely. There are two episodes that we have to clean all of this up and we’re stuck doing stuff tha...
