desoto_hia873So, still working my way through Angel Season 4. And still not in love with it. Reading the Yeats' poem helps, but doesn't make up for the whole Cordelia/Connor thing. There's an essay in Five Seasons of Angel called The Assasination of Cordelia Chase and I have to agree - that's pretty much what they did to her character.
Also? The Elvira fashion statements. Ick.
Went to Peterborough this past weekend to visit Significant Other. Only time for one Buffy episode: Passion. A small voice asked, during the penultimate scene, "She's dead?" Yeah, hon, she really is. This has gotta be at least the sixth time I've seen it but that episode still blows me away. Brutality and elegance, all mixed together.
Which kind of brings me back to Angel Season 4. I thought at the time, and still think, that the writers kind of wimped out when they brought Angelus back this time. I mean, he had free rein in L.A. for, well, days (weeks in TV viewer time) and the only thing he killed was The Beast. A lotta talk and little action, Angelus. Hang your head in shame.
On a separate note, picked up my copy of Buffy Season 7 tonight on the way home from work. I don't know whether to be happy or sad. I'm excited to finally get it, even though I wasn't crazy about the season as a whole, but OTOH it's the last one.
No more Buffys to buy.
