Re-Watching

*If this should be merged into another thread, go for it!

I've been re-watching ANGEL on netflix streaming. I forgot how good a show it was.

I love how much better Angel is on this show. He was so dull and flat on BUFFY but he's just a delightful, interesting, funny, character.

I forgot how much Angel and Cordelia love each other and how sweet their friendship was.

I am struck by how the writers could never quite figure out Cordelia's tone. They wanted to make her a stronger, more noble, more selfless character, but could never resist a change to let her old Sunnydale self re-service, esp for the sake of a laugh (I just finished watching when they go into Lorne Green's dimension and she has moments of deep materialism and self obsession that don't entirely ring true).

I will be excited to see whatever things I end up noticing on this re-watch!
