Angel
Okay, I didn't get to watch tonight's ep yet. But as far as the season goes, here are my thoughts so far...

I hate Eve, I hope to never see her again. Harmony is a freakin riot. I'd forgotten how funny she is. Preaching to the horse's mouth. LOL!

It looks like Angel is actually going to have the lighter happier season that Buffy season 7 was supposed to be. I mean, it'll still be dark, but it looks like the heavy hitting arcs won't dominate like last year. I say this after having watched a promo for next week's ep which looks to be all about Spike, so I could be so far off on this...

Sidebar: When the promo said "partial nudity," all I could think was- God, please let it be James Martsers.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to a more episodic format as opposed to the downright serial format of last season. I really like this new Gunn... the suits are quite dashing. It's funny, I want Gunn all cleaned up and suave, but give my my Wesley all scruffy and rugged. Anyway, so far I really like the season, even though the episodes themselves aren't as fantastic on their own.

The end of the second ep rocked. When Spike was fighting in dude's body & then the head got lopped off... awesome! Especially the dialogue. You started to see little bits of their relationship coming out and coming together "had to get my licks in." I'm looking forward to Spike/Angel interaction. So far, I feel like it's been pretty superficial. I mean I get that they don't want to open up to each other, but I'd like to see them relate more. They share things that no one else would ever get. My fave scene so far was when they blew up at each other with all the little things that they were each jealous of... brilliant But the writers seem to be keeping them apart. And it sucks because we already can't get physical interaction between them, so now we can't have verbal or emotional interaction either?

Anyway, I'll write more after I watch tonight's ep.

I don't have much to say about tonight's episode except I kind of liked the end. (Stop reading if you have yet to watch.) I liked them all hanging out in Angel's apartment, ordering Chinese, especially after Fred's comment about family and how Angel mentioned isolating yourself from the ones that love you. It was nice to see them bonding, especially after all the chaos of last season. Aww. Next week? Holy crap, am I excited. I checked to see who wrote the episode and I can't say that I recognize the names. But, damn. Damn. I really need Spike to be corporeal so Fred can go over and give him a big hug for saving the world. Hehe. No, I'm not advocating "Spread." It would just be nice if Spike had an ally.
