Okay, the whole pregnancy shtick was awful. But I really liked the whole "make Angel soulless" arc. Also, Wesley and live Lilah were in season 4, weren't they? I forget, it was so long ago.
I have more problems with season 5, there was a long boring stretch in the beginning. I kept wondering why I stuck with it. Huh, Angel was one of the few shows I watched through to the end. (Not from the beginning, though. I never completely saw season 1.)
Why don't u watch H50? It's a lot of fun & yea, I fangirl it so I'm not objective, but I'm curious as to why you're not into it.
Oh, good question. I don't exactly know. I really like Alex McLoughlin, so it should be a given. But I was really bored by the pilot. I'm so not a cop procedural fan. The only one I ever followed for a long time was CSI, and that was because I adored Grissom/Sara. Emotionally stunted geek and strong woman yay! I'm not exactly interested in any of H50's characters.
The rest, I guess my friend neery influenced me. I'm watching shows with her regularly, and she has a very deep dislike of torture. H50 seems to be doing a lot of casual torturing of suspects and she just made that a convincing argument. I guess it's part of the show's style, being an homage to the original show from the 80s. Tough guys were so hip in the 80s. I just... dunno. That is the impression I have of the show and it just wasn't interesting enough to spend my time on.
It just means that u've closed one door and now u need to write different kinds of conflicts into the show.
I totally wasn't arguing that getting people together kills shows. But writers seem to think that. And apparently, they're as afraid of change and new challenges as the next guy, so I guess it's natural to shy away from big changes like that.
Besides, I'm all abt the happy & if ppl r pining over ppl they can't be happy.
I am very much for the pining, but please not for three seasons. ;) Pining is fine, as long as a) there is fic in which they get together and b) canon lets them get together at some point. Chuck is the singularly most satisfying show in that second respect. Ever.
