I was in my car with a friend the other day when I saw a giant billboard
for
Angel. My goodness, was the WB finally promoting the show?? Of course not.
The
promotion was the work of TNT which now runs Angel repeats. On the brink
of
cancellation (again, a little promotion could help) Angel was brought back
this
season on the condition that it rework its premise and add Spike to its
list
of characters.
The first episode, Conviction, feels just like a pilot. We see old friends
but they're now in new digs under new circumstances. They're running the
evil
law firm they battled against for four seasons. With Cordy and Connor gone
we
now have Harmony, Spike and Eve. At first I was skeptical of Harmony but
after
seeing her in the first two episodes I really like her and believe she's a
good
fit into the Fang Gang, providing the right mix of comic relief. Spike,
introduced in the last minutes of the first episode, gets plenty of screen
time in
the Just Rewards. I'm waiting to see how he fits into the Fang Gang. My
only
concern is that his time on screen will take away from Wes' time. Probably
my
favorite character of the Angel set (aside from the main vamp with a soul)
Wes
was hardly used in the first two episodes. And Gunn the lawyer? I'm not
loving
it but again, I'll wait and render a verdict later.
Ok, Eve.......let's send the girl on her way. It's like she's playing
dress-up and has chosen the role of lawyer for the day. She is an ill fit.
here's a
scene I made up and sent to a friend.
Angel: What are you doing here?
Lilah: What? Didn't miss me?
Angel: Where's Eve?
Lilah: Quit, fired, sacrificed to a Lorelah demon. I didn't get the
particulars.
And there you have it.
