a_white_rain kinda makes me want to finally watch the end of Angel the series, since for complicated reasons of desynchronisation, French broacast, and download not being that easy at the time, I never saw past S3. Or maybe just go back to watch it from the beginning since I never did watch it in all that good condition. Not sure if I have the stamina for that

I totally rewatch both AtS and BtVS. I have a lot of love for both shows, flaws and all.

Angel seasons 4 and 5 are kind of my favourite, even though a lot of people HATE season 4. I pretty much ignored the bad stuff though and focused on the good.

With BtVS, S7 kind of spoiled a lot of retroactive enjoyment of the show, it's difficult to explain, but it left me bitter and voided of fannish love.

It's often a good strategy :)

I heard a lot of 5 especially, so I'm very spoiled but it could be fun still. And it'd have a lot of pretty!Wesley, which is certainly appealing.

At the very least you have to see season 5's Smile Time which is one of the most amusing TV episodes I've seen. I think seasons 4 and 5 were not the best of Angel but they did still have plenty of good episodes - season 4 was very good at first but (in typical Whedon fashion) the story-arc ended up being a bit disappointing and didn't entirely make sense. Season 5 tried to do something different with the series, which was a commendable attempt although I didn't like the new premise quite so much and they seemed to kill off most of the characters I was actually interested in. At least it did have a good ending, the final episode was very good and a fitting end to the season.

is it the one with muppet!Angel? I saw that one.

[williamjm]

Yes, that's "Smile Time".

[etrangere]

it was pretty fun, yes, according to my memory :)

great Faith arc interests me!

I was a Spike fan... nowadays, I don't know.

The Faith episodes in season 4 were among the best in the last two seasons. Spike is entertaining in season 5 although it's questionable whether he has much of a character arc other than annoying Angel a lot.

While I pretty much go blind with rage thinking about various major plot arcs in the later seasons of Angel, I do have to echo that above sentiment that the Faith episodes are worth your time. For my money, if you don't feel like doing the whole series, you could just watch the episodes in which she appears and skip the rest.
