Re-watching Buffy and Angel ……

I used to love those shows and had a huge crush on Angel. But seriously rewatching now:

  • men smacking women around. Angel beating up a pregnant Darla
  • Angel obviously a lot older than Buffy and climbing in to her 16 year old bedroom…..
  • Fred is annoying as hell with her babbling
  • What happened to Wesley’s English accent in Angel?
Not sure the show would be as well received now!

I will remember you is the name of the episode where Angel turns human for a day...I'm still mad at him for asking the Powers that Be to turn back time so he could kill the Morah demon straight away 🤣

Angel bulked out a lot during the seasons as David Boreanaz injured his knee/required surgery.

Can you tell I was a total fan girl?! 🤦🏼‍♀️

I watched it again and read far more into Faith's risky behaviour and desperation for a boundary-setting father figure.

I love David Boreanaz, he was fab (and hot) in Bones too.

Best Buffy episodes is difficult because there are many good episodes

  • Hush (the silent one with The Gentlemen)
  • Once more with feeling (musical)
  • Graduation day (when the whole school fought with her)
  • Beer bad (when Buffy turns cave girl)

The best Angel episode is when he turns into a puppet 😂

They are all my favourites too! DS is an adult now but watched them with us when it was first on.
I think that's the difference sometimes, if you watched it the first time then you are maybe less critical.
We still quote Buffy stuff, even the grr ahhg in the titles!

You’ve picked 3 outstanding episodes there, plus the one that’s pretty much universally regarded as the absolute worst of all 144 episodes (Beer Bad). 😁
