Five Seasons of Angel

I got my copy of Five Seasons of Angel in the mail yesterday. It's a collection of essays in the same vein (vampire pun, heh) as Seven Seasons of Buffy. (I also have and have read the latter, and highly recommend it.) I stayed up far too late last night reading the first three essays and thought I'd post a few excerpts:

( Angelus Populi )

( That Angel Doesn't Live Here Anymore )

( Angel By The Numbers )

At the start of the third essay, the editor, Glenn Yeffeth, lists statistics regarding his viewing of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Just for fun, I'll do the same. If I had a bigger friends list, I could start my own meme. :-)

I first became aware of Buffy and Angel 4 years ago.

I have since watched 144 episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and 110 episodes of Angel a total of 638 times (approximately). That's 451 hours of Buffy and 187 hours of Angel.

The largest number of consecutive hours I've spent watching Buffy and/or Angel is 5.

ETA: I think I miscalculated my numbers of hours. The second estimate came out to 413 hours of Buffy and 253 hours of Angel. That makes a total of 666 hours. Seems like an appropriate number, given the subject. :-)
