Imo it is a masterclass in television writing, was holding my breath almost the entire episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoAngelus Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 2 minutes ago, Bloody Willy said: I'm on episode 8 of season 3, first time watch. So far the only thing I like about him is his longer hair. He'll always be the inferior Giles in my eyes Oh don't worry, Wesley's dramatic change starts soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo it is a masterclass in television writing, was holding my breath almost the entire episode Sarah deserved Emmy for that one, and Michelle was amazing too. But other than that I didn't find it very good. That one minute where Buffy and Tara talked moved me more than Willow, Xander and Anya together. Anya is just bothering me so much on this rewatch. She really is useless until S6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody Willy Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 To think all of this this discourse started because I asked if I should continue watching Angel when I was bored of it, was convinced I shouldn't, only for me to go ahead and continue watching anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoAngelus Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 4 minutes ago, The Man Who said: Saying you want to fast forward through something isn’t negative? Because I’m pretty sure that heavily implies you don’t want to watch it? It's not negative. I just wanna watch Angel too but I can't watch them at the same time Like I said, Buffy is in my top 5 shows of all time, but I prefer Angel. And I will defend it with my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facelessboy Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Imagine calling the episode (The Body) a filter episode. Just when you thought you heard it all. This level of delusional should be studied 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody Willy Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Also what was that random moment in Buffy s6/Angel s3 where they pretended we would have a crossover after Angel found out Spoiler Buffy was resurrected only for them to meet up offscreen? Or did I miss an episode? Mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I was watching it I was still missing Buffy and I didn't think about which show I preferred overall. But once I was done with both shows and the way Angel ended on a high I realized I preferred all characters in Angel, and its story, it's just the little things like W&H mythology, Lorne's pub, White room...

The Man Who Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 2 minutes ago, NoAngelus said: Sure it's sad her mother died but then again Joyce is hardly main character. There were at least 3 more shocking deaths in the universe. She didn’t have to be a main character for it to be shocking or sad. The thing that caught most people off guard was how it happened out of nowhere, at the end of an episode that was mostly silly / humorous. It was the most human and realistic death the show had ever portrayed from the circumstances surrounding the death to how the characters acted to it. For me and a lot of other people, The Body is one of the best episodes of television ever produced. I don’t think I’ve ever felt that uncomfortable by a death before as it almost feels like you’re witnessing conversations you shouldn’t be at times. The choice to remove music from the episode was genius. Tara and Anya dying was also shocking to me, but for completely different reasons and I personally don’t think the way they died has the same impact because although it was sad, it still felt like you were inside of a fictional reality. The Body was almost too realistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't even talking about Tara and Anya I never cared for Tara and Anya died like few minutes before the show ended so it's not like we watched the show without her I don't know how to post spoiler here so I'm just gonna hint, I was talking about the death of a character who started singing just before... That was far more shocking because even if you think of Joyce she battled with cancer whole season, this was just brutal and sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody Willy Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 UGH also season 5 of Buffy is so amazing, probably THE season for me so far I low key hate season six so far, I hate how they Spoiler brought her back from the dead only to make her depressed, jobless and aimless like it's so cruel, especially how no one other than Giles seem to be helping her out? Willow and Tara boinking in Joyce's bed after absolutely blowing through the slayer's savings and Quote dragging her by the scalp out of heaven insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially Tara since she was never more than just WIllow's girlfriend who barely talked. Anya at least had some storylines in S6 after that event with Xander. Other than that if you deleted them now from the show no one would even notice they're missing. They added NOTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody Willy Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I low key agree with Angelus about Tara her character never really did anything for me, and the actress played her like shite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody Willy Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) Anya on the other hand, she is easily my favorite Buffy character since season 5. Something about the way they wrote her shifted, she became so likeable, I love her Edited March 14 by Bloody Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
