An Angel review and not much else
Jan. 14th, 2004 01:44 pmAngel is back on Sky One.
Of course, because Spike appears in the credits already I spent most of the episode speculating on where he was and when he would appear - I was more or less right. Pity about Harmony being around; apparently Joss "had run out of Cordelia storylines" and I don't think Cordette number two is a good replacement.
The fight to make Wolfram and Hart a better place was OK. Predictable, of course, but how else could it have been done ? I think I'll wait before I comment on Gunn's new position - I want to see how it progresses. Eve was OK, except... I could imagine Lilah saying all those lines just as well. Why change the character ? I hope there's a good justification at some point this series.
The rest was reasonable enough. I liked the storyline, there were enough references to remind you how the previous series concluded without bogging the audience down in them. Lorne didn't have much to do, but then it was only the first episode. On with the next twenty-one !
Not much other news. I'm playing Final Fantasy IV which has secured a place in my heart by having twins Ryan and Beatrice (I mean Palom and Porum) - the black mage boy and the white mage girl - in it. Plus I've finished my Patchwork Universe patch and have had a new batch of Mourn's Gift comments and a second batch promised.
And nine more days to go.
