Bottom to Top: The Angel Episode Countdown: 009

by Matt -10.14.04

And we continue the countdown…

We’re going up, up and away.

#80 - Harm’s Way [episode 5.9]

It’s another crappy Harmony-centric episode! We get to see Wolfram & Hart from Harm’s perspective, and of course in her view, she’s severly mistreated. Isn’t that everyone’s perspective of life? Before I go all philosophical on your asses, there are some funny scenes in this one, but most of them come off flat. Mainly because none of us could care less. Also - that silly scene at the end in the bar where Spike gives the lame explanation for not going to Europe to see Buffy. Really, this should be lower. I don’t know what I was thinking placing it this high. Oh well…live and learn.

#79 - Long Day’s Journey [episode 4.7]

Be honest - who has these middle Season 4 episodes high on their lists? Right, no one. This was all arc, and Cordy being more and more evil, and Angel brooding about seeing his son ontop of Cordy doing hoochie-coochie, and wah-wah-wah…..wah. Also - the sun is eclipse’d, and Wes thinks Angelus is the only one who can defeat the Beast. This should turn out well.

#78 - Soul Purpose [episode 5.10]

Boreanaz directed this, and it’s not so much that this episode sucks as it’s rather pointless. Except by the end they’re less convinced Eve is on their side. Which is probably good considering she wasn’t… you know….on their side. Although one could say the scene with F.B and the Bear was funny. See, that’s a really old inside joke for those TV watcher’s of the 70’s, so most of you won’t even get it. Those that do won’t find it all that funny. Where was I? Oh yeah…pointless.

#77 - Reprise [episode 2.15]

The one happy memorable experience in this episode is when Kate O.D’s. I mean, come on, who didn’t like that? Well, maybe Kate…but who cares what she thinks, right? Then there’s the whole subplot with the NEW A.I (post-Angel) stopping these demons who spawn by giving human’s a third eye. And the other subplot with Darla and Lindsey….and the other subplot with….wait, I think that’s it. Too many subplots, so I’m not sure.

#76 - Expecting [episode 1.12]

More demon spawning. How many times did we have demon spawning on this show? It’s getting a smidge repetitive. Oh well, this was actually the first one. There’s some funny to this one, but the reason it’s lower on this list is because the big demon is really, really crappy and fake looking. I mean Mayor-big-snake bad or even worse. Yeah.

Parts -> [6]   [5]   [4] [3]   [2] [1] Check back for the next 5…coming soon!

Spike_And_Angel: I love “Soul Purpose”! Dream sequences are always hilarious! “Reprise” was like so depressing. (26.10.2004, 18:29)
