So, I have finally caved and started to watch Angel. You people are right, Angel is a lot less annoying in his own show...if I can ignore the brooding and the pouting about Buffy and the fact that he can somehow walk around in sunlight and how he oh-so-nobly gives up anything that might make him the teeniest bit happier because he'd rather be Mr. Brooding Hero than actually fight to keep anything good in his life...
Well, I'm watching the show for the supporting characters anyway.
Like Doyle. I loved Doyle! Like, seriously adored him. He was cute and funny and he was the only characer who I didn't know the whole life story of and then I get to episode nine and--*sniffs* Damnit. I liked him.
I'm liking the style of the show though. It's a little slower paced than Buffy and the humor is darker and more adult. And though I do love my quips and puns from Buffy, I like this more cynical humor as well. The show really seems to like its flashy transitions too. Fades and flashes of white and scenes of L.A. at night with dramatic sound effects... It's different. I'm rather bored by the fight scenes though. I prefer the ones in Buffy. Maybe its because that show is much more about action than Angel is, but for some reason I like them better.
Alright, on to watch some more.
