Charisma Carpenter returns for the practically perfect 100th episode of "Angel" (Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on The WB). There's so much to absolutely adore. Cordelia is back to her gloriously snarky self. She puts Eve in her place and refers to the little dear as "Lilah Junior." Also her shock that Spike is now thought of as a hero is hilarious.
There's also a touching tribute to Doyle, who was played by the late Glenn Quinn in the first season. I was delighted that the series remembered the actor and his great performance in this landmark episode. Also great is the scene that features Carpenter (who looks fantastic by the way, her hair is much better now that she's not evil), David Boreanaz and Christian Kane (Lindsay). This trio was in the original pilot and it's great to have them back together again. And I dare say the episode manages to satisfy both those who were for a Cordy/Angel romance and those who were not.
Really there's nothing not to love here. But I do have some concerns that I won't speak of yet because I don't want to spoil anything for you. Check out my column Thursday to find out more. But this really is a can't miss episode. So be sure to tune in |
