Angel Review

[lathany]

The last but one episode!

I was somewhat staggered by the sudden change of direction and pace with Power Play. All good stuff, I must add, and I didn't think it was too fast (although a few more hints in the episodes since You're Welcome would have been a bonus). In fact it puts the pre-final snail's pace episodes of Buffy to shame.

There were some great lines (although I'm suddenly unable to remember an example!) and everyone got involved for once. Nice to see Lindsay, Nina and Drogyn again, along with the various bads of the season. Angel's conversion wasn't believable, but then I never thought it was supposed to fool the viewer. His use of the glamour was good - although I was briefly wondering how the non-magic-user Angel could suddenly make words appear in Wesley's book. On the other hand, I'm thrown every time he does something in that line (starting with his destruction spell in Revelations from season 3 of Buffy).

And, best of all? I'm dying to see how they sign off.

I liked Nina's "You could make love on the beach by yourself ?". Classic.

The one problem I had with this episode was that I now feel like I don't need to watch next week's one. Angel has so many targets to take out it's going to be tough to fit them all into an episode even with no other plot at all !

Argh. Not reading not reading not reading - I still have to collect VCDs from mr_snips so I can catch up (killalla claims to have a plan to make TGiQ watchable). Must do so before the last ever ep...

I've got Smile Time (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/story.cgi?show=10&story=6274&limit=&sort=)(Ep 14, from 13th April) onwards on the TiVo. It's not beyond the wit of man, or indeed me, to put them onto DVDs.

I've seen up to Timebomb (ep 19), and mr_snips has already offered the VCDs, I just have to remember to go and pick them up ;-)

Although... I do hear there's a semi-reliable postal service of a sort between GLC and Wheatley... And with some VCDs our options seem to be see 'em in colour on my laptop or in B&W on the TV... Hmm.

(lathany, sorry, I seem to be using your LJ as an location for scoring copies of Angel far too often. Still, not long left now.)

As I've explained before, just think crossover with Highlander the Series, and it adds a whole new dimension. (I'm told this on good authority.) Heck, if it all works out I might even write fic. (Gasp!)
