Tonight I rented the 2nd disk of AtS S1, and I plan to enjoy it like the first one. But in all the cross-talk, it seems S4 is ghastly, can I just skip it and go straight to S5 (although that will be some time from now...) ?

Jumping around Chrisisall

If you do that, you miss out on Cordelia in a belly dance style costume (yes, she's VERY pregnant at the time); you'll miss out on our lovely Gina Torres as Jasmine. You'll miss some hot Wesley action and do you really want that?

Here's my advice: Don't allow other persons opinions or prejudices make your decisions for you. Watch it and make up your own mind. After you've made up your mind, join the cross talk.

Angel S4 was never my favourite. In no freakin' way was it ever my favourite.

But there were some great moments and some pretty decent story lines you'll want to get into. And it does tie together a few loose strands that you'll wonder about if you don't see it.

Plus... Faith. And who doesn't love Faith?

I agree, don't let other people's opinions taint your viewing. At least the first two thirds of it were really watchable.

And, hey, if you can sit through the middle of S3 Angel without screaming "Eat the gorram baby!" every few seconds, then S4 will be a breeze.

If'n you need a quick guide, these babies should do it -->

Great site, thanks. (I noticed a familiar name on the synopsis credits...)

One thing about Buffy is the severe change in tone starting around S5, but intensly around S6, But Angel seems a more consistant show, am I wrong?

Yup, that site is a labour of love, let me tell you.

Yeah, Buffy did switch tones a lot after season five which really jars sometimes, but you're right in that Angel stays somewhat more level.

Overall, I found Angel to be a more stable and constant show than Buffy was and I much preferred the finale of Angel.

I think you'll like it, keep us posted on your thoughts for the whole series (from S1 onwards), 'cause I really welcome new discussions.
