(Buffy Season 4, Episodes 5-6)
(Angel Season 1, Episodes 5-6)
Change is brewing already on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A little abrupt, and saddening, but it will push the characters into new emotional territory. Never want them to stagnate too much.
Over on Angel, it was so good to see Angel doing something other than the whole brooding [...]
(Buffy Season 4, Episodes 3-4)
(Angel Season 1, Episodes 3-4)
Now that’s a crossover between two shows. Brilliantly and seamlessly handled. This is why I chose to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel back-to-back like this. I knew Whedon had dropped little treats like this in for his loyal viewers, and now I can pretend to [...]

It looks like the fallout of Faith’s murder of Finch is going to be dire indeed. I’m loving the complexity of her character, especially as we hold her up for comparison to Buffy. Despite her bravado, you can’t help but feel there has to be a confused young girl in there, somewhere [...]

They still [...]
(Season 3, Episodes 1-4)
So it looks like our “werewolf in love” is a regular cast member in the new season. And David Boreanaz is still there, as well. Does that mean Angel’s not dead (OMG; for realz?!).
I appreciated the slow burn to bring things back to a semblance of normalcy, though I found myself wondering [...]
(Season 2, Episodes 5-8)
