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.

Ah, but there's a wonderful Rogue Demon Hunter on the horizon!

Angel just is darker than Buffy - but it has some wonderful stuff to offer. And occasionally some familiar faces.

Oh, Doyle. *sniff* Now I remember why I stopped watching Angel.

Bufyf's men are always making her decisions for her - Angel decides she needs him more as a fellow fighter-of-evil, Riley decides she doesn't love him. I'd go with Spike, myself - he's ornery but he only makes decision for himself.

It's the loneliness of the long-distance slayer. I have been netflixing Buffy and Angel and watched them in order. So now I'm on Angel, season 5. It only gets darker, but in some ways it's as good or better than Buffy.
