I've been catching up on my Whedon by renting the different seasons of BUFFY and ANGEL. I've already watched the first four season of BUFFY with #5 on tap at my library, and the first season of ANGEL, with the second on tap as well.
Hey - same here (though only Buffy 1 so far).
Angel EP She - the "Dancing Fools" sequences - both Wesley dancing and Angel imagining himself dancing - lol funny. Same episode at the end, Wesley falling on the spilled coffee beans and being a complete toady, "It was my fault I'm sure, I'll wash them all, individually if you like. They'll be as good as new, even better." I'm surprised at how much Wesley's schtick makes me laugh - tribute to the actor.
War Zone - Angel, Cordiellia and Wesley walk into an upscale party and Cordiellia says, "Ah, I love that smell!"
Wesley: "I believe that's Camembert."
Cordiellia: "No, silly, MONEY!" walks off.
Angel: "She's not kidding. Hide some money around the office, stand back and watch her - it's uncanny."
There's a running cell phone gag that's pretty funny too.
The show definitely has some Firefly moments too. In the ep Prodigal I saw "Blue Circle Delivery" company. Wesley with blue gloves doing some kind of science detection thingy, and of course, a cameo by Christina Hendricks, (Yosaphbridge) as a 17th century vampire's maiden.

I'll always think it was such a badass moment when Angel swivels around on the stool and goes from being "drunk" to going after the vamps. The cape blown' in the wind was too cool for that split second. Okay I'll get the gutwrencher out of the way, Rats..Rates...*sniffle* my friend Becca still says that Doyle is just out of town. "I will remember you" makes me cry everytime. And the Big Fluffy Puppy speech brings me to tears the other way. Theres lots of others but these are my favs.
Now let me know when you've watched all of season 2. I have a definate favorite in that one!!!!

I have now seen season 2, and about a third of season 3.
As for season 2, the opening sums up everything that is Joss. You see this green, scaly demon. You think he's going to be all evil and such. He raises a mike, and you think he's going to go all Screwtape Letters on a crowd of demons.
But then he starts singing "I Will Survive." By far, the funniest moment in the whole series so far. Anything with Lorne, for that matter is gold. Especially when they go to Pylea ("Numfar, do the dance of joy.";"No longer do the dance of joy, Numfar.") Fave bit was when Lorne head tells Cordelia to shut up as she screams non-stop upon seeing his severed head.
For other comedic eps, Harmony's episode was comic gold. And that one time where Wes and Gunn have to fight the fire breathing demon in the sewers and their initial reluctance. ("Did you see that? The chamber has to be 50 feet high. He was crouching!!!")
As for dramatic eps, Darla going evil again, the chamber they had to steal from the museum that made them all go crazy, them exorcizing the demon from the hotel and Angel going to meet the Senior Partners.

"YES!!!I'm a man posessed by many demons....Polite demons that would open the door for a lady carrying too many parcels...BUT DEMONS NONETHELESS!!!! Yes. I have walked along the path of evil many times, it's a twisting, curving path that..actually leads to a charming plot garden, BUT BEYOND THAT EVIL!!!"

I can't recall fully offhand, but up to Episode 8 b/c Doyle is great...and Wesley and Angel dancing.

Hero-I love that episode-gives reasons why I love Doyle.
IWRY-Big B/A fan-my shipper heart goes all fluttery.
Faith episodes-what a kickass character! She's so complex.
I liked Wes' intro-big doofus,but lovable.
I also like snarky Cordy in this season.
A good introduction to one of my fav shows.

Cordelia's "You're a vampire/gonna get your ass kicked" moment in the pilot,
When Cordy and Angel meet at the party, and she asks him if he's still " grrr ", and makes that expression and the grabby-claw like hand gesture indicating 'vampire', ...too gorram funny.
" They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself. "

Dead End was probably my favorite episode from season 2. I really enjoyed the play between Angel and Lindsey. Good stuff.
"That's my lead! You're choking my lead!"
"He's my lead! He's my lead!"
Of course, Lindsey's rant when he quits Wolfram and Hart is great (Oooo! That's gonna hurt in the morning. Stop it evil hand, stop it.).

From "Sense and Sensitivity,"
"I threatened him with physical violence"
I'm laughing right now just thinking about the contrite, almost disbelieving manner in which that line is said.
I too, am in the middle of re-watching season 1, many of the episodes for the first time, and wondering why I never liked Angel as much as Buffy. It's Whedontastic!
"I'll be in my bunk."

Hi,
it is good to hear that others are new to Angel and Buffy, too. I saw some eps when they were on German TV a few years back and never got into them. Now I bought Angel Season 1 on DVD and watched all 22 eps last weekend (and am now well into watching them for a second time...). And I seriously love it. It is not Firefly, but it is good in its own way.
Humourwise there are many dialog lines that I just love. My two favorites are:
Doyle: "Angel Investigations, we hope you're helpless" (I laughed so hard, my neighbors must think I am crazy, well, I guess they had that figured out anyway)
Angel: "I am a detective, more or less"
Kate: "So where's your license"
Angel: "That's the 'less' part"
As far as emotional moments go, well, it is a Joss Whedon series, so there are lots of those as well.
I love it when Cordelia confronts the ghost in her
appartment after she has called her a bitch and Cordelia remembers how much of a bitch she can be if she wants to.
The whole "I will remember you" scenario is just too tragic, him telling Buffy that in 15 sec she will forget everything that happened in the last 24 hours and she starts crying, saying that it is just not enough time. And to know that Angel will be able to remember it all...
And like with Firefly, it is the way friendship grows on all of them. And somehow as they start to like each other more and more, you as a viewer of the show start to like them as well. I even grew fond of Cordelia even though I could not stand her in the beginning. And Doyle did die way too early of course. He was just the most likeable character.
I could go on for hours here...
Have fun,
Capella
