Thursday 17 June 2004, by building : "and an unconvincing Irish accent" So trueThursday 17 June 2004, by newchick : Well, that person is just flat out wrong in too many places to even begin to mention.Thursday 17 June 2004, by Anonymous : ummm, yeah. I never really saw that vampire with a soul as mocking of Angel the series. And David Boreanaz, he can act pretty damn well. I think this person should seriously consider stopping the usage of words.Thursday 17 June 2004, by EDDIE : Angels special effects werent that that bad.Thursday 17 June 2004, by Anonymous : Angel has great hair!Friday 18 June 2004, by Lara : Actually, i agree with what this person has to say completely.Saturday 19 June 2004, by Anonymous : Hello?!All that stuff about the shows message and dramatic quality and all u can think about is what he said about DB’s Hair?!?!Sunday 20 June 2004, by Anonymous : The fact is he has ALOT of facts wrong. Not to mention his writing skills could use some work. I have watched the show from the beginning and whenever I see Angel is on I watch it and I know EXACTLY what is going on. Because I love Angel. Saturday 3 July 2004, by Dude with spare time : There are quite a number of things that struck me as a bit unbalanced commentary on Angel. He sometimes seems to praise the show and then quickly point out it’s supposedly weakness, then he throws some dirt in DB’s direction saying that his acting skills leave a lot to be desired(then again Angel is not Rain Man or A beautifull Mind movie where an actor has the opportunity to really flex his muscles so to say), whilest praising character development in the next paragraph. To me it’s like; that tree is very far, but at the same time if you walk up closely to it, it isn’t. He’s not saying anything new about the show that hasn’t already been said before. And it has been said better I might add. Now here’s something interesting; quote;Talking about his network’s reasons for cancelling the show, ex-Warner Brothers Executive Jordan Levin explained: "The big problem with Angel is it didn’t repeat well." The format varies between episodes, story arcs can take years to pan out and interpersonal relationships shift in more ways than just who currently dates whom. Any viewer that turned off midway through season one and came back three years later would be utterly lost. And, in a TV industry that makes most of its money through syndication, a series where even fans could lose track if they tuned in mid-season was never going to be a real earner. End quote. Well so there we have it; actually what they wanted wasn’t a Joss Whedon, but they wanted Aaron Spelling! Beverly Hills 90210 garbage where you don’t have to use your long term memory or any part of your brain. Saved by the Bell!! Sweetvalley High!!! lol. It seems that WB exec’s do not have a high opion of the viewers. I guess they think we are better off watching reality shows instead. Joy in repetition is what its all about, you want the exact same hamburger every time every where even abroad, with the exact same people serving it in the exact same uniform and exact same setting/interior. I think that’s also the reason why the Matrix Reloaded, Revolutions weren’t even mentioned or reverred to in compparison to Lord of the Rings RotK when they handed out the Oscar’s. (I’m very happy with my childhood memories reading the books by Tolkien thankyou, only the first movie FotR took my breath away, the second and last was more of the same and the latter I found actually boring waste) THe Matrix stimulates you to think outside the box/rabbithole, giving you alternate views on the world/reality we live in. Why did I brought this up? Well I think the people at WB did not know what they had with a show like Angel. They didn’t really understand it much in the way movie critics(and the academy bozo’s)didn’t really understood WachowskiBros Trilogy. I don’t like being led by the hand like an infant. Told what to like and dislike ’cause that’s what everybody likes and dislikes. I like something that doesn’t resamble my every day dreary dull live of eating, sleeping, working, shopping, and greeting the boss at 9. My guess is the guy that wrote this article has written and read many of the same articles. He will do so for the remainder of his life, just like the mariner, who’s poem he uses to end his article, cursed to tell the same story over and over again. BTW Coleridge Poems are excellent! They deal with the supernatural, always with this earie uncanny suspense style. Christabel is superb, this girl realizes she’s invited a witch into her bedroom!(Vampire, yes!!) Who has cast a spell on her. These comments are an anwser to this article : Dead Ethics : ANGEL Formed a New Morality - Ak13.com Review
