Random rant
14 years ago
ARRRHHH!!!! okay i'm working on a couple of commisions watching Angel for the second time. and....grrr.
I'm a big Buffy fan. I thought the concept was the worst thing i'd ever heard, A stuck up ditsy cheerleader fights vampires, and i wasn't a big fan of the 90's movie. So i had no desire to watch it when it was on TV. It wasn't until a friend of mine forced me to watch season one that i realized that the show was halarious and brilliantly written. Buffy herself didn't win me over so much as her friends and the fact that Joss Whedon wasn't afriad to kill off characters. I now own all 7 seasons and watch them religiously.
Angel is another matter. I never liked Angel in Buffy except in season 2 (won't spoil why). In fact my three least favorite characters in Buffy have always been Angel, Cordillia and Wesily...so you understand why i'm not crazy about watching a spin off starring all three characters.
I don't know why but i decided to give the show another shot and have been watching it all over again. I'll admit its a little better than i remeber. Season one and two are okay and season 5 was actually really good. but at the moment i'm ass deep in Season 4 and i feel like i'm gonna puke. Its just soooo annoying. without getting into the details for those who haven't seen it. Season 4 has a creepy edipus rex complex for the first 2/3 and now i'm on the last 3rd and i'm about to lose it with Jasimine (again).
I know that a lot of folks love Angel and i can see why. It has some really good things. (lorne, Fred, Gun, All of season 5) but theres just so much that i can't stand. I have a bit of a love hate relationship with Whedon's shows. on one hand i LOVE Buffy and Firefly (thanks to vikki for getting me hooked on that), but i can't stand Doll House and Angel's a mixed bag leaning towrads bad. I've yet to see Doctor Horrible but i hear its quite good and I loved Once more with feeling.
Yeah i know this is a random rant but i haven't written in my journal in awhile so i figured why not.

Sorry if some of your fav shows are giving you issues. >>
Buffy was in high school, and Angel's an animated corpse who is at the very least thirty (age at death) and more likely to be considered a good couple of hundred of years old.
