Angel

[intertext]

I have to report that I am now watching "Angel" to assuage somewhat my Buffy withdrawal. It serves the purpose; I'm enjoying it, though have to confess that I'm hoping for an antidote to two very tragic episodes in a row. In one, Angel becomes human for a day and a night, long enough to spend a passionate time with Buffy, who was visiting. In a noble sacrifice, he gives up being human in order to continue his mission to fight evil and better protect his true love. He remembers; she doesn't. Sniff. And THEN, in the very next episode, Doyle, whom I really liked, gives his life in an intense, noble, heroic way. Sniff sniff.

Yes, indeed. The Rogue Demon Hunter ("what's a rogue demon?" asks Cordelia...) has arrived, and that episode was delightful. Spikey-poo (if you'll excuse the nickname) has already appeared once, and the dvd cover of the last season of Angel indicates that he did not, in fact, perish in the Apocalypse at the end of Buffy...
