Kirsti: Our very first Buffy post went up on 2 July 2012. It’s been a long and bumpy road through the Buffyverse since then. I’m not even entirely sure how we came to recap Angel because I can remember sending emails to Lor and Sweeney that were all “Guys, we really shouldn’t recap Angel because it’s pretty freaking bad…”. AND YET. Here we are, 715 days after we started Buffy and 456 days after our first Angel post went up. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, WE FINISHED A THING.
Recapping Angel has been a very different experience to recapping Buffy. Though I’d seen the show before, this was only really my second time through so there was a lot of stuff that I didn’t really remember. I remembered moments more than episodes or storylines, which made for kind of an interesting viewing experience. I remembered season 5 being great because Spike turned up and also because of Smile Time. Once again, that Spike-loving bitch Past!Kirsti is responsible for my pain and suffering when season 5 turned out to be nothing like what I remembered.
Later today, I’ll be talking about my ten best episodes of Angel. But for now? Let’s talk about the super shitty stuff, the stuff that made me roll my eyes, bang my head against the table, and contemplate quitting this project. Here’s my ten worst episodes of Angel:
I'm a 30-something librarian and I still live with my parents because I'm super broke. Leader of Team Heartless Cow. I have an inexplicable love for 90s television, eat too much chocolate, and read more than is good for me.
