Angel

The First, we learn, did an even shoddier job than expected. The Watchers Council still appears to up and running - or, at least, will be soon. (Is this maybe why Buffy is in Europe?) "Angel" casting execs indicate that for 5.7 they’re looking for someone to play Wesley’s dad, Roger Wyndam-Pryce, a representative of the council sent to evaluate whether Wes should be restored to its ranks.

But, wait, what about 5.6? Script pages for that episode went out to casting agents Friday, and it seems the episode will center around an employee working in the Wolfram & Hart mailroom. He’s a former Mexican wrestler who did in the 1950s what Team Angel does now: ridding us of monsters and other ne’er-do-wells. Seems the wrestler, who went by the name "Number Five" once defeated a demon known as Tezcatcatl, "The Aztec Warrior," who murdered his four wrestling brothers. Now that the creature has returned 50 years later, Angel needs Number Five’s help.
