Thoughts about S4 of Angel

[erilyn]

Well, up to half way through 4.17 "Inside Out", which is where I am.

Those unfortunates (hnix, for one) who have heard me rant on and on (and on...) about how much I loathed where S3 of Angel went, and what they did to the characters, knows I had some serious issues with the show. S4 has been ok, but only really started to kick into gear once they started to explain some of my problems, exactly how I wanted them to!


Ha, I really wanted Cordy's "ascension" to be a setup, and with Angel confronting Skip, that looks is what it looks like they're doing. Cordy being a "champion" and "higher being" my fucking ass. Now, just have Angel and Cordy's feelings for one another to be the result of the spell, and have Wes and Gunn make up and ignore Fred for the rest of the show, and I *might* forgive the writers :)

Eri, you and I think exactly alike when it comes to Angel.

I'm catching up with episodes and I just saw the one where Cordy is told she's a higher being and a champion and needs to ascend and I turned to David and said: "They want us to believe that Cordy is a higher being? Give me a fucking break! What sort of freakin' moronic AU are we in now?"

I think we need to get together for an Angel bitch fest, starting from season 3 and going on until we've got it out of our systems (g).

Absolutely :) Though there are some parts of S3 I cannot watch again, even to bitch about (ie "Waiting in the Wings", the ballet episode). As it almost had me volently throwing things at the tv the first time around, I figure it's better never to repeat the experience :)
