Angel - Season Two (Slim Set)

I love the Angel series. The second season is pretty interesting and I recommend it if you are an Angel fan or David fan. He goes through a period in his life where he starts to questions things and is trying to deal with his past. Pick it up if you can, it is worth it.

I'm a big Buffy and Angel fan, so 5 stars goes without saying. But have you checked out the comic books? Finally season 8 by Joss Whedon!

The second season and new offices for Angel Investigations as they move into an old, abandoned hotel at the end of the second episode. Titled "Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been?", the episode, partily set in the `50's, deals with a demon using people's own paranoia against each other. A subject Rod Serling touched upon with "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street", an episode of "The Twilight Zone" that "Angel" writer Tim Minear refers to in his commentary of "Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been?"
The "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" crossovers for this season are Alyson Hannigan as Willow, Mercedes McNab as Harmony, Juliet Landau as Druscilla and Julie Benz as Darla (whom Wolfram & Hart resurrected in the finale of Season One, "To Shanshu In L.A." after Angel had "dusted" her in the episode named after him in Season One of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer".)
Amy Acker joins the cast as Fred in the last few episodes in which Cordelia ends up in a place located in another dimension where she goes from cow status to queen.
My favorite episodes from this season are "Guise Will Be Guise" and "Disharmony". The season as a whole makes for good storytelling.

I get so angry when I come to the end of these seasons. This one was great. I know why I like it so much now. It's a freakin soap opera. Such drama mixed in with a little comedy. But not too much because the show would turn silly. But just enough to take the edge off.

Cordilia (Charisma Carpenter) is gorgeous. I am almost a middle aged dude with a crush on her. Darla (Julie Benz) is simply gorgeous as well. A real knock out. I will be ordering the third season real soon.

Loren (The Host) has really grown on me. Even though he can be disturbing to look at at times (it's the red eyes) he adds a pleasant humor to the show.

All of the Angel series DVD's are excellent! I just wish the show never ended.
