Attn: Angel fans - I have a question...
Does this week begin the return of
Spoiler:
|
Yes.

Is it just me or does it seem like it would be impossible for a new viewer to start watching Angel right now? I've started watching several shows after they've been on a long time before, but I'm not sure if I've ever seen a show keep one storyline running this long before. I feel kind of bad for anyone who's just watching for Faith. IMO Angel's by far the best show on TV right now and it's a shame these people can't watch the season from the begining or wait for the dvds. I know I might sound like an elitist or something, but I'd hate to have the numerous surprises Angel has thrown at us this year be spoiled.

I tried watching Angel when the series started, but it didn't hook me for whatever reason. However, I have heard nothing but glowing reviews for the show lately, and there have been times when I sort of wished I had stuck it out. For me, though, I'm watching for Faith, just to see how she begins her journey back to Sunnydale........... |
Angel isnt the same show it was when it premiered. Its much better.
Goodluck trying to make sense of everything. |

I could understand an elitist point of view if they had Faith &/or Angel strip down to a bikini [twice], label Angel & the gang's HQ, or destroy everything the show's been building towards in one 15 minute montage like another show on the air ::cough Alias cough::. But they're not. This is tied into Buffy. Expect a lot of late comers and hopefully they'll [me included] be impressed enough to hang around long after Faith gets her sexy leather-clad booty back to Sunnydale.
Assuming Angel survives the merging of the shows.. Assuming Angel gets renewed.. |
Yes, if it gets renewed.
This is preforming good so why would they cancel it unless they want to get back at Joss for switching networks. WB doesnt really have anything else thats good anyway, except maybe Smallville but it still doesnt come close to "Angel." |

Helping the cause though is that Dawson's Creek is going off the air, losing an entire night of programming would leave a very big whole in their programming strategy. As for what Angel was and what it is....I have to agree with what's been said, the show is so much better (and different) than when it started. I started watching the first season but bailed half way through and didn't jump back on until late in season 2. I know it sucks in terms of getting new viewers, but I love shows where they stick with a single storyline at length. |

I don't think it'll be too hard for people just watching "Angel" for Faith's appearance to follow what's going on. I only started watching at the end of season 3 and I had no problems following the storyline. Isn't that what the "Previously on 'Angel'" intros at the begining of each show is for?
|
I think it would be possible for someone to pick up what 's going on after a few show, but they'd miss the little details (and not even know it).
I tried watching from halfway through season 3 and it couldn't keep my interest. Then on a whim I bought season 1 on ebay, really liked it, and bought season 2 at Amazon. After downloading the eps of 3 that I'd missed, I "got it" and liked the show enough to watch it on tv. |

I really don't want Angel to get cancelled, and numbers seem to indicate that it shouldn't, but the WB really does seem to have it in for this show with all of the date switching.
|
I dont think moving it to Wednesday was necesarrily a bad thing. Its better than where it was on Sundays.
There an email address or phone number where we can weigh in our opinions? |
