Episode 7 - Angel
Yes, he's been lurking in the shadows, showing up just in time to warm Buffy then slip away... leaving only the impression of his beaten puppy dog eyes and a muscled - but not threateningly so - physique. Finally, an episode to explain it all...
and leave me wishing that they really, really hadn't.
Angel - or - The Episode Where We Realize That Angel Really Is Always Brooding. No. Always.
Synopsis: Tossed together by breathless circumstances, Buffy and Angel finally frelling kiss. Of course she finds he isn't what she thought he was. And then a jealous ex girlfriend gets involved. People get hurt. And the evil blonde gets it... right between the tits. Ah, highschool.
Okay, I am fine with this episode. Yes, it's totally vampire cliche. But I love vampire cliches sometimes. Angel is Broody McDarkstare. He's dangerous... he's hot... he's hanging around a highschool kid hang out.
Wait. No really, just wait.
Remember 90210? And how Dylan McKay was THE hottie. And you watched the show and you knew he was supposed to be THE hottie. It was the hair and the jacket. And you knew, all the trappings were there to indicate that this was supposed to be the guy you lusted after. Only, there was this odd niggling at your hormones. What was it? There was just something a bit off about thinking of running into this guy in your school.
What was it? What was so strange? So... off?
OH YEAH, HE WAS LIKE 40!
Old guy in the club. He may be hot old guy.. but he's still old guy in the club. And you have to wonder when Chris Hansen is going to bust out and take the guy down.
Angel is that vibe, wrapped in a tight white wifebeater and a leather jacket. When he looks at Buffy with that pained expression... is it his tender feelings of affection fighting against his eternal need for blood? Or is it that his addiction to barely legal teens is fighting against the fear that she is just a ploy from Dateline to catch him in the act? Just what sort of predator is this Angelus?
Yeah, I hate that name too.
I will given him credit for confessing to Buffy that he's older. But she seems shocked to find out just how much older. Honey, you took home the old guy from the club. It's not fair to nit pick after the haze of espresso and vampire chase scene adrenaline has worn off. So he's a Klingon. Turn the lights off and rock the casbah.
Moral of the episode: Gypsies have a curse for everything... including child predators. Don't fuck with Gypsies.
