- Bottom to Top: The Angel Episode Countdown

  And we continue the countdown...

#105 - Sense and Sensitivity
[episode 1.6]

Everyone is crying, and it's all because of a BIG STICK. Watch out for the GIGANTIC, face-slapping metaphor. At least we saw Angel wearing a colorful shirt.

#104 - I've Got You Under My Skin
[episode 1.14]

I don't like episodes that remind me of movies. They can call it an "homage" all they want, but when I see them I think "Hmmm...must've ran out of ideas that week". The twist at the end wasn't even very good.

#103 - Untouched
[episode 2.4]

For some reason, the writers must've wanted me to hate the telekinesis chick. She was kind of slutty, but hey, I guess that comes from the abuse. On the other hand, I like Cordy's reference to BtVS about when she fell on that big metal pipe.

#102 - Blood Money
[episode 2.12]

I think I've stated in the past how much I dislike the Lily/Chantrel/Anne character. She wasn't quite as annoying in this one. The thing that bugs me is that it had only been 2 years since she was in her first week of waitressing at the diner, and all of a sudden she's the director of a shelter. Who the HELL put her in charge?

#101 - Eternity
[episode 1.17]

The sad thing is, celebrities would probably become vampires to keep their beauty if they could. Still, even if it's true, it didn't make this episode any better.

You'll notice the trend in this countdown...if I think a character is annoying or the story isn't very original and/or is silly, it'll be towards the bottom of the list. But you probably already got that.

Check back for the next 5...coming soon!

Kaela: I would have liked Eternity better if a different actress was playing the 'actress'. She annoyed the hell out of me. I practically jumped off my couch screaming with happiness when Angelus tried to kill her. It was hilarious. The only other disappointment was that Angelus *didn't* get to kill her...

Atalanta: So far agreed with most.. except Eternity, I thought that had enough good points to rank a bit higher up; always good to see Angelus, and the ending's funny. Sense & Sensitivity would have been even lower if I'd written the list..

G Thing: I'm okay with "Blood Money" and "Eternity" being ranked rather low. The others, however, work for me. Still lacking agreement.

Aeryn: I so agree Matt on the Anne becomes a director thing.... I was so offended, I worked my as* off for how long and I have how much eduscatian? She must have been sleeping with someone.

Kirsten: And still agreeing with you. . . . and I've noticed that the bottom of your list is riddled with eps from seasons 1 and 2.

Lia: Agreeing, once again.
