Angel: Lonely Hearts: Oh my. This one definitely had its intense moments. I think the best moment was when Angel pulls out a grappling hook, expertly flips it around a beam on the ceiling, then tests it... only to have the beam fall down. There were some icky moments, too. Despite the gross nature of the bad guy, the gore is kept to a minimum compared to other modern horror. You see it, the camera cuts to another scene quickly. The structure of the show kept the nature of the baddy hidden as long as possible, which was a nice change from shows that spoon-feed you the plot. And the introduction of Kate as a possible ally for Angel was also nice to see. Overall, a solid second show. No commentary on this one, though, so once through was all I got.
Angel: In the Dark: The opening dialogue as imagined by Spike was hysterical. Spike is such a wonderful character, even as an evil vampire trying for a magical artifact. I figured Angel would be too noble to use the thing, of course, and the instant Angel brought up the torturer as a likely rival for Spike I knew what would happen... I was right, too, although it didn't happen exactly as I imagined. Not bad, but not really anything special. No commentary on this one, either.
My sister tells me that she already has the second season of Angel, and has ordered the third, so I've got a lot of episodes to watch and review. As before, if anyone wants to see my opinions on Buffy, you can always order it for me from my wishlist. Heh.
