    RIP Glenn Quinn. Such a pity he couldn’t overcome his demons.

      He didn't just play the friend of David Boreanz's character - they were friends irl. Ironically Christian Kane whose character would pretend to be Doyle was also his friend.

    I will remember you is so highly rated because there are a lot of Buffy and Angel shippers and a fair few of them are fanatics and.....some people just love a bit of doomed romance and the idea of sacrificing happiness to do what's right.

    The flashbacks always tie in to the storyline of the episode itself. The Prodigal is Kate and Angel's strained relationships with their fathers. The Faith episodes show flashbacks of Angelus getting reinsouled, which is essentially what Faith is going through.
    I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but disagree with a lot as well 😂 Also, Buffy and Angel HAD to have a clean break between the two characters AND the two shows.

      I thought the flashbacks in Five by Five were well placed, too. It clues viewers into why Angel wanted to save her.

    Dude, Liam or Angel's dad RIGHTFULLY called out his failure of a son for his debauchery, which includes him attempting to seduce their young maid, arrogantly stating "everyone gets corrupt" without any thought or care, and he was as his father described, trash. Honestly, man. PAY ATTENTION to whatever shows, films, books, etc. you read or watch.

    Season 1 Episode 5 Room with a view actually is also intersting in the way that it now looks like what might be the best first example of what is American Horror Story the show today, this story of the mother burying her kid in a wall and the ghost story after that, but mostly the visual here 16:06 very reminiscent of AHS. Maybe an inspiration that few have noticed, thanks for your great videos full of stuff like this !

    I like that Buffy is unlikeable in this episode. It’s realistic when characters have their character flaws show, and most exes show the worst of themselves to each other when the breakup is still fresh.

    • @rhythmchyc3089
      @rhythmchyc3089 11 месяцев назад +2

      I LOVED that Buffy was unlikable, too. In Pangs, Angel went to Sunnydale without telling her. She went through the ringer in Who Are You?, and to see Angel hugging Faith as soon as she arrived in LA was brutal.

    • @SmallFaerie
      @SmallFaerie 10 месяцев назад +2

      @@rhythmchyc3089 Exactly. Her reaction makes perfect sense and makes her feel like a real person. I defy anyone who has been abused by someone in any way that even resembles that Faith has done to Buffy over the years to react better to seeing their abuser being hugged by by their ex, who they still have feelings for. I also find the berating of Buffy for reacting in a most understandable and human way even worse when one considers that Faith actually tried to kill Angel at the end of Buffy, season 3, and that Buffy almost died, offering herself up to heal Angel. Like who in their right mind thinks it's reasonable to expect her to react well to seeing Angel all huggy with Faith after what then happened in Who are you?

    I think Angel also destroys the Gem of Amarra because he just knows that while he has it all the other vampires will be angling to get it off him including very dangerous ones like Marcus and Spike.

    44:45 Fun fact: It was written in the script that this fight would take place during the rain. But they didn’t have the budget for a rain machine so they didn’t get one. But it just so happened that while filming IT REALLY STARTED RAINING.

    I was always confused by his motive for the Shanshu - didn’t he just give up being human so he could remain a vampire to save the world over and over???? So why would he want to be human say, in five years or fifty???? I never got that so I just ignored it for the entire series. 😀👍

    Glenn Quinn ❤💔❤️ Also, Kate "tells him to fxck off" 😂🤣 So many things to say about this, but remember on War Zone, one of the girls of Oden Tal appears in Madam Dorien's (I haven't a clue how to spell them). Also, season 1 is supposed to be episodic. Monster of the week, rather than Big Bad of the season.
    I always will love season 1 ❤

    I went years not wanting to watch Angel, even though I've been a fan of Buffy since teenage hood, because the first episode of Angel that I ended up seeing (out of order) was season 4 episode 17 inside out. And let's just say... I was kinda turned off.

      Angel is a fantastic show. It’s quite a ride with its highs and lows, but I can’t recommend it enough. Angel gets far more room to grow as a character, becoming the lovable, dorky and awkward guy we know and love. Other Buffy characters get a chance to shine and develop; like Cordelia and Wesley, becoming truly great characters, and some fabulous storylines will keep you hooked. Even some Buffy alumni make appearances throughout, so there’s something for the Buffy fans who are unsure too. Please check this show out it’s great.

    • @rhythmchyc3089

      For any fan of character-driven storytelling, you can’t go wrong with Angel. Even through the procedural Season 1 and the insane season 4. But there are seasons here that surpass Buffy (Seasons 5 and 3)
