Many people think it is a goof that Angelus got into Giles’s apartment to place Jenny’s body there in Passion. It’s true we’ve never seen Angel in Giles’s apartment but that doesn’t mean he’s never been there. |

Yeah. It is impossible that Angel could do anything inside Giles’ house as he had never been invited. Of course he could have chopped Jenny into small parcels and posted her through Giles’ letterbox bit by bit.
My only difficulty is with the arch subtlety claimed for evil Angel, as compared with his “I’m so dopey / I’m such a heartless jock” 2D portrayal. No offence to David Boreanaz, but he simply lacks the age to be convincing as a vampire. Of course, had the team used a seasoned, convincingly vampiric, actor as Angel, nobody would have bought Sarah snogging him. Dilemma.

David Boreanze is a terrible actor. He really is…I think he carried Angel just fine but only to a point…he was never 100%, not like the other actors.
““I’m so dopey / I’m such a heartless jock”
I don’t get this at all. When was he ever dopey or jock-like? All I ever saw was broody on the one side and assholishness on the other. More or less.

Oh and I think the maturity thing is totally an issue–what if he actually was as seasoned as his 200+ years made possible; it would have been either incredibly creepy (no matter how physically young he looked) or extremely condecending (which they came pretty close to).
as it is, I really don’t understand. I mean the whole older man/younger woman thing…okay, but how is someone over 200 years younger than you attractive…the college age kids I teach look like teenagers and I feel pervy for thinking that any of them are cute.

oh and with the whole boreanze = terrible actor…I’m not looking to argue, i just think if you compare him to other actors on the show and then consider his other work–there really isn’t much there. I think he had the right look and feel for angel, but not the chops.

I am still recovering from chopping Jenny into small parcels and posting her through Giles’ letterbox bit by bit. Great visual.
I agree, his acting was a little limited, but I have to say. He did a spectacular job on the transformation from Angel to Angelus in Surprise and Innocence.

Yes, I still maintain Angelus is his best work.

I have read that the dark, broody and assholishness is not at all like his true personality, which is kind of silly and fun. So, maybe there was a stretch for him in there, but just not big with the facial expressions (so different than my dear James!) Plus, with the age difference for Buffy, perhaps it has to do with the fact that he was sired at such a young age, so he really never progresses from that age. Like vampire children, they are still child like in books and other works, even if they have lived for a long time, right? So he might just be stuck at his young age, unable to really mature physically and mentally.
