Angel Rewatch 2025 S2E3 "First Impressions" There's a lot going on in this episode, almost too much. And I don't think Cordelia is written particularly well, considering she's in the spotlight. I did like the vamp switcheroo after the party scene. But Darla is already getting on my nerves. #angel

That's a good question. WHY?

Happy days are here again! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Angel Rewatch 2025 S2E2 "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been" One of my favorite episodes of the show. After Angel kills the demon and goes to room 214 to find now old Judy and tell her she's free. Such a painful, beautiful moment. #angel

I fucking give up.

Not a martyr. Not a hero. Definitely a cause.

Did Charlie Kirk mourn the 49 Pulse victims?

So wait, am I or am I *not* supposed to have empathy?

He who lives by the sword...

A real peach.

Angel Rewatch 2025 S2E1 "Judgment" This episode is messy. The only thing I like about it is that it introduced Lorne, played by the immensely talented Andy Hallett. His addition improved the show tremendously. #angel

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E22 "To Shanshu in L.A." This is a harrowing episode, as Cordelia is cursed and Wesley is nearly blown up. It's pretty tight, too. I especially love Angel's handling of Kate, after she treats him like shit for half the season. "You want a war? Try me." #angel

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E21 "Blind Date" This is a silly episode. It was like they had no other idea of how Angel could get the scroll. Even as a MOTW episode, it's not all that. #angel

Went to a Chinese buffet. Ate way too much. This was my fortune cookie.

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E20 "War Zone" Great intro for Gunn. Of course, it's just like Whedon to kill off a character for the sake of wounding one of his characters, as if there is no other way to achieve that sort of pain. #angel

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E19 "Sanctuary" "How does this work?" I enjoyed this, though Kate certainly get annoying here. The resolution, though, is fairly perfect, as they all walk in the station to find Faith had turned herself in. #angel

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E18 "Five by Five" Most of the episode is well done, but the fight in the rain with Faith yelling "I'm bad!" is just... bad. The whole episode could have been perfect, if she just kept screaming "Kill me!" When Angel doesn't, she could have exploded and collapsed. #angel

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E17 "Eternity" Great MOTW though it's not really. But Rebecca's story is interesting, as is Angel's reaction to her request. He says he over-reacts because he's drugged, but that really doesn't seem to be the case. Angelus presenting was stupid. #angel

@mattbaume.bsky.social Thought you might find this humorous.

Trans persons make up less than one percent of mass shooters, most of whom are straight white males. Below is a guide to show you what that looks like. Each American flag represents a straight white male. The trans flag represents a trans person. The pirate flag represents all others.

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E16 "The Ring" I like this episode, but one thing bothers me. When Lila busts Angel out, why not promise you'll keep The Ring secret and work on freeing the slaves from the outside? It seemed silly for him to go back not knowing if Cordy and Wesley would ever find him. #angel

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Butt

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E15 "The Prodigal" Good episode, though the plot point about the Kwaini demons being drug addicts to explain their aberrant behavior was kinda lame. But the flashbacks are cool. #angel

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E14 "I've Got You Under My Skin" Excellent rip/homage to the Exorcist, with a crazy twist. #angel

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E13 "She" Good episode. I love Bai Ling, she a pretty amazing in this. Straightforward monster of the week. #angel

Slightly Diminish a band: Thompson Twin

My friend wrote a brilliant essay on existing in a country that's collapsing around us.

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E12 "Expecting" Charisma Carpenter is excellent in this episode, particularly the morning after. And it's all very creepy until the Big Bad shows up and is kind of a puppety letdown. #angel

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E11 "Somnambulist" Entertaining episode. Jeremy Renner was still honing his acting skills, but he's a standout. I like the story, but the plot is muddied by the fact that Penn just happens to show up in LA by chance? Didn't buy it. He would have sought Angel out. #angel

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E10 "Parting Gifts" Pretty good episode. A new demon arrives as a fake-out Doyle replacement. Instead we get... Wesley. 🙄 I was really rooting for him, thinking he actually might have, you know, trained to be half-decent at demon hunting. Nope. Just as frail. #angel

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E9 "Hero" I had created this whole revisionist history of Glenn Quinn in my head, that he left the show after only nine episodes because he was diagnosed with cancer, then died three years later after treatment failed. Nope. He overdosed. #angel 1/2

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it? YES!!!

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E8 "I Will Remember You" Interesting premise, but aside from Buffy and Angel as a collective unit, not much going on. We do meet the Powers That Be, or at least their physical manifesting. I do like them. #angel

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E7 "The Bachelor Party" This one isn't bad. A bit predictable, but... Carlos Jacott is really fun. He pretty much steals any scene he's in. #angel

Post a random picture or everything goes wrong in August? Maggie Roche. 💔

Myself, truly. Star Trek: The Motion Picture was released when I was 10, and my parents took me. The transporter scene terrified me. And I was still rattled by the time the Enterprise entered the wormhole. I had to get up and leave the theater. Couldn't return until Spock's arrival onboard.

From @meidastouch.com on Tiktok. Satire, parody, irony. They're all dead. That's not a joke.

I'm not pro-AI. But the comments here are a whole bunch of folks screaming "GET OFF MY LAWN!!!“

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E6 "Sense & Sensitivity" I forgot how good this show can be sometimes. And damn, can Elizabeth Röhm act. The curse-influenced Kate speaking at her father's retirement party is just gut-wrenching. And later Kate and Angel in the police station is friggin' hilarious. #angel

I closed my LinkedIn account today. Loathsome cretins.

This timeline is wild.

Oh yeah for sure, Ben's absolutely right, just like how I'm completing work that he would have done

Angel Rewatch 2025 S1E5 "Rm w/a Vu" This episode is messy, but I enjoy it. They should have done more with Phantom Dennis than have him be peripheral to the show. Once everyone moves to the hotel, he's just gone. The ritual was so silly. #angel

The Orange One has sued the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch for billions of dollars. Rather than filing in Montana, where Murdoch lives, or DC where The Orange One "works," he filed in South Florida, believing the judge would be his cronette, Eileen Cannon, and he'd win. Heck, no. 1/2
