Wow. When I was your age (watch out, great-granpa Chrisisall is gonna reminisce) my favourite episode of TV was 'The Naked Time' from the original Star Trek. And I was only months away from seeing Star Wars. How far we've come.
Enjoy this age, dude, it goes so fast from here on out.

Just saw Graduation, 1 & 2, and it sure was cool, but Zeppo still rules, IMHO.
Maybe there's a better ep out there, but not in the first three seasons.

It was near Bruce Campbell perfection Chrisisall

Wow you have some serious Zeppo love there ;) I'd say there are at least 10 eps better than the Zeppo in the first 3 years IMO, maybe more. However, it may be one of the most quotable eps out there, and definitely proves how brilliant the later years could have been if they'd given certain characters a little more play.

Graduation Day was solid, but I didn't like the idea of every student finding out the truth, particularly as

I guess it's my favourite simply based on how hard and how often it made me laugh. I'm usually not that animated for almost 45 solid minutes!

Season 3 has too many great episodes for me to pick a favorite, but "The Zeppo" is one of them.

Just finished watching S3 myself. It had a real effect on me. I had dreams that involved Buffy and Cordelia--and not the good kind. I don't remember the specifics but it had to do with death and sadness. I woke up feeling disturbed and it took a few hours to shake that feeling.

But anyway it's still my favorite season. I think the character and story arcs meshed perfectly.

On to season 4! Let us know your reaction to the change-up.

I just rented and watched the first four eps of Angel, and I wasn't all that thrilled...(?)
Spike sitting on the roof narrating what he saw Angel doing after he rescued that girl was hi-larious, but I guess I ...
I mean, I...
It feels a little 'diluted' if you take my meaning. Where's Xander? Buffy? Willow?
You know? It just seems not as complete as Buffy, and maybe a little too serious given the subject matter ( demons, guys who come apart, etc.)
Is it just me?
A lot of Batman refrences, too.
Firefly is SO original, with a refreshing lack of pop culture refrences...( I fully expect it to be refrenced itself in movies and series to come after the BDM premiere ).
One question also about BS4, do they handle Willow realizing she's gay believably? There was no hint of a gay bone in her body in the first three seasons- does it come off okay, or is it kinda phoney?

She was all over Oz Chrisisall

Angel S1 is my favourite season of Joss TV. I'm surprised you thought it wasn't 'complete' - were you actually expecting to see all these Buffy characters crossing over in the first four eps? I say persevere - there are some belters to come.

Personally I think they made a bit of a hash of it, but I know a lot of people will disagree.

Hang on Chrisisall - if you've just finished Grad Day, Willow's "gayness" should still be a mystery to you! We've been trying so hard to avoid spoilers for you....

Took me a while to get into Angel but stick with it. I bought the DVDs, then didn't get round to watching them (whereas Buffy would have been straight in the DVD player!). Then when I finally started watching them again I was hooked - watched Seasons 3-5 straight through, 2 episodes a night (OK, I'm sounding a little sad now).

And the Spike monologue is just one of the finest things EVER.

"How can I thank you, you mysterious, black-clad hunk of a night thing? No need, little lady, your tears of gratitude are enough for me. You see, I was once a badass vampire, but love and a pesky curse defanged me. Now I'm just a big, fluffy puppy with bad teeth. No, not the hair! Never the hair! But there must be someway I can show my appreciation. No, helping those in need's my job - and working up a load of sexual tension, and prancing away like a magnificent poof is truly thanks enough! I understand. I have a nephew who is gay. Say no more. Evil's still afoot! And I'm almost out of that Nancy-boy hair-gel that I like so much. Quickly, to the Angel-mobile, away!"
