Tuesday night.

The day began by shattering a bottle of apple cider vinegar, and it didn't get worse from there. It didn't get better, either: it was a day just to be dealt with. Tomorrow might or might not be the same - not in content, but tone, possibly. There are places I can go, but I don't need to, and there are things I could do but I don't have much wish to do them.

This should pass soon.

In the meantime, I'm wondering if I should find a way to watch Angel sometime this decade. Anyone have any thoughts on that show?

Then dive in, I say...the early eps are a bit uneven though even from the start I love the reinvention of Cordelia and when Wesley shows up it really starts to take off.

Not that I know who Cordelia is, having never seen Buffy. Not that I really want to see that one, either. Honestly, the thing that worries me the most is watching Angel might having me wanting to see Buffy, which parts of fandom have frustrated and annoyed me to the point of wanting to avoid the canon. Yes, even the silent and musical episodes, no matter how much I love Aimee Mann.

Oh that makes it easier, probably, to be honest? There are a few character crossovers early on, but the regulars (Angel, Cordelia, and later on Wesley) are reinvented in pretty significant ways. Basically at the start, Angel is a morose urban fantasy hero who needs his friends to give him a mission and get over his moping/ himself. If you like that narrative & can forgive the unevenness inherent in monster of the week urban fantasy you should be fine w/ season 1 -- after that it becomes more of an ensemble show with crazy mytharcs.

Now I want to rewatch ANGEL.

Wait a couple of weeks and you could rewatch as I come in fresh. We could make a weekly thing of it! I assume you have some sort of chat client to make that possible, and a possible hour on Thursdays - or whatever day it was originally broadcast, to preserve the original flavor.
