Maybe not, but he was pretty stealthy. And I agree that Angel was more fun to watch then Buffy. Simply because Angel had more 'down to earth' enemies such as Darla and Wolfram and Hart. Even the Beast (and companion) in the last season weren't quite as bad as say.. Glory. Not to mention that Angel got all my favorite characters from Buffy. Such as Cordyand Wesley. Compare their dialogue to the sad attempts at humor in Buffy, it's a world of difference. </font>[/QUOTE]Cordelia was my favurite too. Must have been her body I don`t know.

Someone here obviously hasn't seen the current season... [img]tongue.gif[/img] Which is good in itself, considering the fact that it hasn't been broadcast yet on Dutch TV. Don't ask me why I've seen them already, though.


spoiler alert!


But the best thing to happen to the show was getting rid of Cordelia's character. Sorry to say so, but she had been the least interesting character by far in the series ever since her "ascension" in the second season - while her character was getting more serious and vital to the show's plotline, her entire appearance became more and more yawnworthy at the same time. I'm glad they've gotten rid of her in the fifth season, and I dare say that that's also one of the most important reasons why I like that particular season best -the light-hearted snobbism and bluntness that made Cordelia such an appealing character had already vanished in earlier seasons anyways, and I don't think it was possible to return to that light-heartedness either way, considering the plot developments involving her personality. Her character was simply a dead end, milked to rather high levels of annoyance, and all was just said and done regarding her.
I have to say that the way they've finally written her out of the show was done splendidly and with dignity, in what's easily one of the best Angel episodes ever.

you are missing a great season then. This season kicks last season's ARSE!!! </font>[/QUOTE]And pretty much any season of Buffy as well, bar the 6th one perhaps (with evil Willow and the nerd nemeses ).

Fine, fine. I'll be sure to check out the last season when they'll broadcast it in The Netherlands [img]smile.gif[/img]

I was done with it last season. Too slow and the woman who everyone loved was just soo annoying. I think they are stretching it bigtime now. Jumped the shark about 2.5 seasons ago.

The only thing about season 6 of Buffy I hated was the whole magic addiction plot. Other than that, I loved season 6, even evil Willow (She has always had a bit of vengeance-wreaking in her).

Same with Angel. I'm going to miss Angel, and would really want it to actually reach it's full potential. Unfortunately, WB will probably replace the show with another "Dawson's Creek" clone!

Actually, I quite liked that particular episode. it's the kind of episode that could have kept a series like Buffy from the boring drag it turned into during the seventh season. Reminds me a bit of the odd cartoon and "trippy" episodes that kept you on your toes during Farscape.

Pity, the series is only now reaching its full potential in my opinion - though I agree the plot development at the end of the previous season was a bit of an anti-climax, I'm glad I kept watching the show.

I think sometimes i just get done with shows even when they still may be good. prime example, 24. didn't watch a full episode this season and i know it is probably kicking.
