Angel 5.11 - Damage
Awww.. Andrew is all growed up. His Watcher garb, a suit that was two sizes too big, was a nice touch. Too bad the writers still can't come up with a decent excuse as to why Spike didn't go Buffy-hunting in Europe. The female writers from the last episode mucked up Spike's character so badly that not even Drew Goddard could clean it up.

As for the rest of the Scoobies, Willow and Kennedy in Brazil? Eww. Kennedy showed up only so Willow can continue reminding everyone that she's a lesbian. Are they finding their Amazon roots?

The funniest bits that didn't involve Andrew: Spike and Angel coming out of the elevator together and Spike's line "I just wanted to see what bouncing off the pavement felt like. Pretty much what I expeted." after he gets thrown off the building by the Potential. Andrew stole the whole show. Not that I'm complaining. Better Andrew steal the show than Gunn. (Gunn won't be stealing any shows unless he turns evil and is subconsciously controlled by the Senior Partners. Unbeknowst to the Fang Gang, of course. Now that is a sub-plot worth exploring. Take note of that, Ultimate Drew. Take many notes of that, you lowly-dwelling female writers of Angel who shall remain nameless. Actually, you suck. Both of you. Neither of you deserve to be a writer on Angel. So I don't care what your name is.)

Andrew...Andrew...he's just so damn funny. His lines were always the best, full of Buffy and other sci-fi/fantasy references. The best part was when he hugged Spike and called him his Frodo. The second best part was when he stood his ground against Angel. Imagine that?! This was inconceivable before the Hellmouth collapsed. Andrew's changed. That funny, shy, nerdy costume is no longer worn--he's replaced it with a heavy cloak, a spine, and a dangerous mask can pull off a jest just as quickly as a kill.

Unless there's a huge petition, Andrew's chance to become a regular on Angel has pretty much gone up in smoke. Andrew has drawn his allegiance with Buffy and that makes it unlikely he'll show up in L.A. again. *sob*

Another note to the writers: We get it. We get that Angel and his Fang Gang are worried about selling out. So stop reminding us every three seconds.

The Inaugural Entry
This blogging thing... is actually cool. Even if ads cover half the page, it's still cool. My fellow Alpha Pluses-- I know this blog is long, long overdue. But better late than never.
