Angel Episode Review
What can I say? Angel on horseback...............
I thought this premier was very well done. I love the fact that Joss and company did not let on too much yet about what Darla and Wolfram & Hart are going to do to try to get to Angel. Darla is one of my favorite characters and the fact she has returned, I'm sure, is going to make this season stand on it's toes. I loved the way she just took in the music that she missed for so long, and her referring to him as a "boy", gave me goose bumps.
The whole tribunal thing was a good eye-opener for Angel and made him realize he can't count his chickens before they are hatched. It made him have some perspective on exactly what he is up against, and his becoming human isn't going to happen overnight. I see a wonderful, strong bond between him and Cordelia, which is what he needs right now. The fact he kept messing up trying to help the girl who was pregnant, made him realize he doesn't always do the right thing all the time. It was humbling for him.
Angel doing Karaoke. Well, that made me laugh more than once. It was so great. I just wish I had set my recorder to record the cuts that were after the commercials at the end of the episode. They were so cute! Of course, we all know who my favorite vampire is, and anything he does, I think is great!
Well done Joss and CO!!!!!
