Any Angel fans out there?

[UnicornBlood3]

Yeah they did a good job with what they had. I mean they didn't have that much of a notice from the WB that they were canceling.

[Stevens25]

Being new here I'm just repeating what everyone has already said,but Angel was,and still is my favorite show on tv. I try to catch it in reruns everyday. The WB were fools for canceling it. :angry: My favorite season is the one that's playing now in reruns:season 5. I'm waiting for that final season to be released on dvd.I'm thinking sometime in January 2005.

[Klimber]

Oh come on Angel was nothing compared "The Mountain"
** suddenly the crack wears off **
Not

[UnicornBlood3]

The 5th season comes out Feb 2005.

[HeadHunter]

Thanks. ;) I knew that it came out early next year,I just didn't know when.I hope the have some really good extras considering it was the final season.

[UnicornBlood3]

No problem. :)

I hope the have bloopers again! The ones on season 4 were funny as hell!

[welty69]

I for one love bloopers. I wish that every movie came with them as well as TV shows. You know for a fact that something somewhere has gone wrong. You can not make a show or a movie without making a mistake. It goes against human nature...

Amy Acker for Lois Lane? Dear god, no!

[React24]

Ya I just Heard about that it makes me so mad! But at the Same Time Happy, but still very very MAD! That would be amazing if they actually brought the show back but a movie or movie series is just as good.

[Freelow]

If I were the cast of Angel, I would tell the WB to go 'F' themselves.

They should follow Buffy's footsteps and head over to UPN just to stick it to the WB.

WB executive meeting:

"Gee, I got a great idea - let's cancel Angel and bring back some lame vampire show that sucked back in the 70's or 80's, but let's cancel that even before it makes it onto the air."

"Brilliant"

[carnage4u]

i'm assuming if they want it bad enough, they can probably get at least 1/2 the cast back, but who knows what they would do then.

[Klimber]

i'm assuming if they want it bad enough, they can probably get at least 1/2 the cast back,


Or the WB execs can go eat a large bag of poo. Jerkoffs.

[Klimber]

You know I watch Buffy Reruns on TBS in the morning (6 to 8 M-F) and the Series finally was yesterday. Today the pilot episode was on and I guess I never saw the first 4 or five episodes of season 1 for Buffy because I never knew that Angel was in the pilot. Man David looked young. Now I want to start watching the episodes because I missed some here and there and did not get into the series until halfway in the first season. I am digging this TBS setup: 2 episodes a day, 5 days a week. So Season 1 will only take this week and most of next (only 12 episodes) and after that a season about every 2 weeks. Cool.

[RedVader 2004]

I personally am a Buffy first then Angel fan for Spike is the best Character next to Willow and Angel. Angels bet seaso was when Spike came on in the final season. Its too bad Spike and Angel didn't get another year to have a really great finale. The one they had was good but it really seemed rushed. I hope to see atleast a Giles spin off with Spike Dawn Willow and few poteintial Slayers. I personally think Spike has earned his own show. I'll miss the Joss Whedon shows. "I always wanted to slay a Dragon.Lets go to work."
The final words from Angel in the season finale. That is classic Angel words. Nothing to flashy. Just the way Angel always was. That is why I liked the show. You could tell that the Buffy and Angel actors seemed close.

[Steve125]

Another reason to hate The WB. They are promoting James Marsters' appearance on an upcoming episode of The Mountain (bleeech) by saying "James Marsters of Buffy the Vampire Slayer ". Bastards! First you cancel Angel, then promote your other crap shows by bringing up his name from another show you shunned. At least say he was from Angel.

On a happier note though, The Mountain is doing horrible in ratings. If The WB were smart they'd can it soon. But it's The WB, so I'd expect another season or ten. (Look at 7th Heaven).

[Klimber]

Yeah 7th Heaven Blows major chunks.

I gave up on The Mountain but I might have to make an exception for Spike in the day light.

[Stevens25]

I just have my fingers crossed for an Angel movie.I really think that both Buffy and Angel can be spun off into feature films.

[RedVader 2004]

They have to give James Marsters a nod. Weither its a Spinoff or Angel movie. Spike has been they strong much needed character next to Willow on Buffy and Weasly on Angel. I guess Iam asking. If they do a movie should spike get a tv show spin off while he is back on track.

[TarzanMac]

In my opinion spike shouldn't get a spin off series.
Reason being Buffy and Angel have fought just about every Demon ever and between them all they have saved the world on numerous occasions.
Spike would just be doing the same week in week out.
As much as I loved watching the Buffy series and the Angel series I think it is time to forget them and move on and make something else.

[RedVader 2004]

I think you are wrong. I think there is room for one more spin off series. As long as Spikes in itthen its ok. I however think Spikes show woudn't be confind to one town or country. I think Spike, Faith and Willow would make a great show. My Three favorite Characters could surely handle a spin off.

[ead882000]

I would love to see spike get his own show, i need more vampire's and demons on my tv.

[FireStars]

yeah that would be cool for Spike to have his own show!! I really like spike.

[Klimber]

I like Spike joining the Andrew and the Slayer Squad. Ha that sounds like a pub band..."Tonite on the center stage...Andrew and the Slayer Squad!"

[HeadHunter]

I dont want another new Spin off i want another series of Angel...i mean come on they leave the 3 best charactor (gunn, Spike and Angel) going into the FINAL battle....i wanted to see the bloody battle and it will probably never be shown :(

by the way...what ever happened to Giles Spin off...did they just give up and bring him back for the final series of Buffy??

[UnicornBlood3]

Yeah I wish they'd just bring Angel back. Stupid David Boreanez. We could torture him into submission I bet.

[HeadHunter]

Was it Boreanez that wont do another season cause i saw an interview where he said he wished there was another season cause he luved mixing it up with Spike

[UnicornBlood3]

Yeah the WB asked him to come back I think for some TV movies but he said no. He wants to persue a movie career. Fine fine fine. Stupid WB.

[HeadHunter]

A movie career...i heard he was doing another TV show?

[UnicornBlood3]

Yep heard that too. He's a little liar if it's true. ;)

[HeadHunter]

he should be faithfull to his fans...

My mum is heartbroken....She fancies him but dont tell her i told you ;) She likes his moody look

[FireStars]

God lets hope he will do another one!!

[UnicornBlood3]

Haha! I bring the thread back to life!

News from TV Guide about the Angel TV movies.

Question: I'm pleased to hear that you plan to ask the WB folks about Angel movies, but please, what we need are Spike movies starring James Marsters. So, if those WBers try to brush you off with a generic "David Boreanaz is busy," you'll help us out and ask specifically about Spike, won't you please? — Grace

Ausiello: As you predicted, WB president David Janollari immediately played the "[Boreanaz] has a lot of other things going on" card when I asked him for an update on the Angel movies. But I was ready with my Spike follow-up. "I've never thought of that," he said of doing a Marsters-centric telepic. "I had not thought about it. We always thought Angel would be the character the audience would want to come back to see. We may give some thought to the Spike movie. That's interesting." I can't be sure, but I think I just pitched a show to the WB.

:( If only.

[Steve125]

Hmm that's interesting! It'd be nice, cause I don't want to forget about Angel, but it's already happening. Must...get...season 5..box set.

Spike centred tv movie? Could be good I guess. Though I'd still like some closure on the entire Buffiverse as a whole, I'll take whatever I can get.

If your cash reserves are a little lacking like (mine are), Season 5 just started today on TNT. TNT (channel 245 on DirecTV) shows Angel every weekday morning from 7am (texas time) to 8am. I did not see the last half of season 3 and the entire season 4, so I have been annoying the hell out of my wife by taping the episodes every morning on my way out thye door to work. This morning was the first half of season 5 premier. I just finished watching the finally of season 4 and can't wait to see the last season playout again. Check you local listings at www.tvguide.com

[objectionalmen]

im sellin a mini fan for 50 cent

[Steve125]

im sellin a mini fan for 50 cent

That's fantastic.


Yeah, I might pick up the box set, depends on what kinds of special features there are. Haven't really looked into it.

[UnicornBlood3]

Oh I am definetly getting the box set. I loved season 5.

[HeadHunter]

My mum has them all on Video...so it was nice a cheap for me to be able to see them :D

[Klimber]

For those of you you who do not have the season 5 dvd, I wanted to mention that TNT is ending the series this coming monday with the series finale.

Monday, February 28, 8:00AM ET
Not Fade Away TV-14-LV
Angel and his friends prepare for their suicide attack on the Circle of the Black Thorn.

Starting tuesday the 1st Angel Season 1 Episode will begin.

[carnage4u]

i have been watching season 5 on tnt over the past month.. it actually stopped me from buying season5 so far. (ill still get it in coming months)

its on here at a ncie time.. 7am.. so i get up.. watch angel.. then go to work.

[GreenvilleTexan]

Here is an example of political correctness run amok. Remember, this is from a show that has been canceled and has been airing in syndication, not only on TNT, but on local stations across the United States, for how long, at all hours of the day.
Anyway:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A love scene from the canceled TV show "Angel" that showed a female character turning into a vampire and biting her partner's neck did not overstep federal indecency rules, the Federal Communications Commission ruled Friday.
It was one of two scenes from a November 2003 episode of "Angel" that were not "sufficiently graphic or explicit to render the program patently offensive" by contemporary standards, the FCC said in denying an indecency complaint from the Parents Television Council.
"Angel," which was canceled by the WB last year after five seasons, starred David Boreanaz in the title role of an 18th-century vampire who tried to atone for past evil deeds in present day Los Angeles.
One scene involved Angel in an intimate moment with a female character in which Angel's hips are seen "moving back and forth," the Parents Television Council said in its complaint.
In the scene depicting the female vampire biting the neck of her partner, also a vampire, both characters had clothes on and "their breathing is heavy," the complaint said.

The episode aired at 9 p.m. EST on November 19, 2003. The indecency law bars nonsatellite radio and noncable television stations from airing between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. indecent material such as references to sexual and excretory functions. Those are the hours when children are more likely to be watching TV.

But not all sexual and excretory references or scenes are considered indecent. The FCC must consider context and its decisions are subjective interpretations of the law.

The FCC said the "Angel" scenes were not patently offensive "as defined by commission precedent" and therefore were not indecent.

The complaint was officially filed against WBDC-TV in Washington, though the program aired on WB stations across the country. The FCC asks that indecency complaints include the call letters of a television or radio station.

OMG!
They HAD THEIR CLOTHES ON, their hips were moving and they were breathing heavy. Oh, the horrors!
Somewhere, Elvis is spinning in his grave and Ed Sullivan is laughing in his.
Who knew one quick flash of Janet's nipple (which was covered by a pasty by the way) could have us this far down this slippery slope so fast?

[Klimber]

i have been watching season 5 on tnt over the past month.. it actually stopped me from buying season5 so far. (ill still get it in coming months)

its on here at a ncie time.. 7am.. so i get up.. watch angel.. then go to work.

Yeah you and I are in the same time zone and every morning I get up shower just before 7am then I watch Angel until 8 am while getting dressed and eating cereal. It drives my wife nuts. "Why can't you be at work on time? Why can't you leave at 7:30?

My answer: Because Angel's On...

[carnage4u]

ah.
the last episode is so good... I wish 1/2 the shows i have liked could end with such energy.

still makes me sad when wes dies though.

[Kyle Katarn]

/\ Stupid ****ing FCC....or actually they were smart in this case, whoever made the complaint just had his panties in a wad.

So the FCC will investigate petty complaints like that, but they won't do jack for having a Viagra/Cialis ad on in EVERY commercial break ALL hours of the day!!! :angry: I know this, I checked. Their response to me was more or less 'sorry. we can't or won't do squat against ads!'

....an exception to my hate for those ads is the Enzyte ads tho....they're funny as hell, and vague enough that you don't have to have 'the talk' with junior before you HAVE to! :D

Anyway...back at the end of Angel James Marsters was up for any kind of other Buffyverse project, I hope he still is! :cool:

[UnicornBlood3]

Yeah I remember he just didn't want the hair anymore. ;)

What was the ep that caused the complaint?


Ya'll I'm rewatching season 5 too and I watched the Fred ep yesterday. :( I balled again.

I miss angel. Stupid WB

[Kyle Katarn]

...they could do a flashback show of Spike's adventures pre-the Billy Idol look! We get more Spike and he dosen't get bleach burns on his scalp! :eek:

And I get more DRU!!! :D :wub:

[Klimber]

I never got the whole Dru thing. She always bugged me.

[UnicornBlood3]

Spike spin off news:

Question: I think a Spike TV-movie would be great! — Teri.

Ausiello: So, apparently, does James Marsters. In his first interview since I pitched WB president David Janollari the idea of doing a Spike telepic, the 42-year-old actor told my colleague, Ben Katner, that he's game for resurrecting his soulful Buffyverse counterpart "as long as I could do it within, say, the next four or five years; past that, I'm too old. Spike's a vampire, man, and I've got high standards — you have to believe that the guy has not aged since we met him. There's a little poetic license, but I don't want to get into a situation where the script says, 'Well, he was drinking pig blood and he aged,' you know? [Whatever Joss Whedon wrote] would be funnier than that — it would be delightful — but it would be taking away the coolest thing about a vampire, which is that he's iconic... he does not change." OK, Mr. Janollari — the ball is in your court.

[FireStars]

Well that would be really cool!! I will be looking foward to it :)

[Klimber]

Sweet! thanks Uni.

[Klimber]

Interesting news:
This Saturday on the USA Network, James Marsters stars on Cool Money

Bobby Comfort (James Marsters, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel") first became a thief at the tender age of six, and after bouncing in and out of prison for years, he finds a legal loophole and secures his release years before the end of his latest sentence. However, before he can settle into a quiet life at home with his wife and daughter, Bobby is approached by Sammy (John Cassini, "10.5," "Get Carter"), a bizarre thug with a flamboyant taste in clothes... and a daring plan that lures Bobby back into doing what he has always done: steal things. Together, the men take New York City by storm, pulling off a string of hotel heists that humiliates the police and eventually culminates in the largest jewel heist in American history.

Also starring Robin Brûlé ("Three to Tango," "Nora Roberts' Sanctuary"), Jason Schombing ("Stargate SG-1," "The Unauthorized Story of Three's Company"), Larry Manetti ("Magnum P.I."), and Margot Kidder ("Superman," "The Amityville Horror").

Gary Burns ("Way Downtown") directs a script written by Shelley Evans ("Sins of Silence," "Footsteps"). Stanley M. Brooks/Once Upon a Time Films, John Fasano ("Darkness Falls," "Stone Cold"), and Nicholas D. Tabarrok ("The Life and Hard Times of Guy Terrifico") serve as Executive Producers. Aaron Barnett ("Hollywood Flies") serves as Producer, and Joel S. Rice as Executive Consultant. A USA Network Original Movie.

[UnicornBlood3]

Yeah I heard about that. Any of ya'll going to watch it?

[wingman]

sounds interesting, might give it a look-see.

[UnicornBlood3]

This is awesome!

Looks like we might be seeing a familiar bloodsucker back on the frog soon.

Both Joss Whedon and James Marsters, creator and co-star of "Angel", respectively, have long expressed an interest in bringing bottle-blonde vampire Spike back to screens in a telemovie - and by the sounds of it, it's going to [finally] happen.

Whedon announced at Wizard World over the weekend that he's very keen to do an "Angel" spin-off - with the character of 'Spike' the chap he'll most likely be concentrating on - and it got a great reception from those in attendance.

Ausiello over at TV Guide talked to both WB entertainment president David Janollari, and Whedon, who sounded keener than a Olympian around water to dive straight into it.

"I have given it more thought since you brought it up. It's certainly something that I continue to get many fan letters and e-mails about, and it's something that we discuss a lot around here. But no decision has been made", the WB head-honcho tells the reporter.

Whedon seemed optimistic. "I'm really for it, but I have never really spoken to David Janollari," he said. "I occasionally would bring it up with [execs at 20th Century] Fox, and they'd be like, 'Yeah, that would be cool.' And I'm like, 'Who do we need to talk to?' And then nothing has really happened. I've been really busy in post [-production] on Serenity and haven't been able to get the wheels turning, but I definitely intend to investigate it."

Whedon says he doesn't necessarily need to write or direct the "Spike" telemovie, so the WB can pretty much getting go on it as soon as they want. "[Spike] is not necessarily something that I would write and direct myself," he suggested. "I have a lot of brilliant friends who worked with me for many years who might be able to take the helm — somebody who both James [Marsters] and I would trust."

Whedon says his idea for the "Spike" telemovie isn't a prequel. "For me, Spike is a very contemporary guy," he said. "It's sort of what distinguished him from Angel."
-http://www.moviehole.net/news/5309.html

I want this to happen. I really do.

[HeadHunter]

not bad....Spike is a cool charactor

[carnage4u]

i am very unwilling to give any faith to this, as frankly i would be sad when it donest happen,

but then again, :)
do it and do it now

[UnicornBlood3]

Yeah I don't get my hopes up but it would be cool.

[Klimber]

I caught the replay of Cool Money on tv late last night. Not Bad James Marsters does a great job. It was weird hearing him talk without Spikes accent of hair (his hair was vary short and light brown). See it if you have the opportunity.

[Klimber]

Last night I caught the first 45 minutes made in 1997 called "Escape from Atlantis" I stared Jeff Speakman (martial arts guy) and his daughter was Mercedes McNab. I movie was at best corny. I don't know who I felt worse for McNab or Speakman. Some one's career was on the skids at that time.

[FireStars]

I caught the replay of Cool Money on tv late last night. Not Bad James Marsters does a great job. It was weird hearing him talk without Spikes accent of hair (his hair was vary short and light brown). See it if you have the opportunity.

yeah i still havent seen it but i really want to!!

[Klimber]

Hmmm a year ago yesterday marked the airing of the last 4 episodes of Angel. In 20 days (the 19th, same day that Star Wars Episode 3 comes out) it will be the one year anniversary of the end of Angel. Sad. And still no word on a replacement series or movie specials. hell I would settle for Amy Acker as a guest star in a episode of Smallville to statisfy my Angel fix. These James Marster made for TV movies just aren't working any more. Do they have an Angel patch that my doctor could perscribe me?

[carnage4u]

So rented Crow Wicked Prayer last night to see what our Boy David was doing after angel and to see if his new choices would be good.

so far.. i would say No.

what a halfbaked movie that didnt even really try to hard to be anything.

i hope his tv show is better then that movie..

[LS2002]

The Crow Movies sucked anyway so it doesn't surpise me.

[carnage4u]

well 2,3,4 all sucked, but we could have hoped for something better.

[Kyle Katarn]

Yo Klimber - it's not quite the same, but Amy Acker had a recurring role in this season of Justice League Unlimited as an ass-kicking Huntress. And Juliet Landau (MMMM...Dru!) was in a few in some minor roles I think.

Reminds me....I got the Spider-Man CGI animated series on DVD a while back, and thought that the head Teradach thug sounded familiar. Yup, the main man Spike himself! :D

[mrBrightsided]

I read @ eonline.com that Alyson Hannigan stated that a Spike movie is in development, and it is possible it would be straight-to-dvd. Reporter than asked FOX about any truth, and they stated that nothing is developing right now.

James Marsters is going to have a stint of Smallville in its new season.

Plus Charisma Carpenter is joining the cast of Veronica Mars for 5 or 6 episodes in its new season.

[Klimber]

Actually I saw that Amy Acker is set to be a cast member of a new this fall called "The Unit" that some thing to do with a Delta Force squad. It has a promising cast (Dennis Haysbert "24", Robert Patrick "T2", Regina King "Enemy of The State", Scott Foley "Felicity"), so lets cross out fingers.

[mrBrightsided]

I read that Amy had to drop out of The Unit for some reason I can't recall. Kristen @ E! Online reported on it a few weeks back. I could be wrong.

[Klimber]

Ah crap that sucks. How am I going to get my Acker fix now. BTW this morning on USA(? TNT? I forget what channel their on in Syndication) they were showing the episode where Illeria infects Fred. I was almost tempted on missing the first hour of work just to see the Spacemen versus Cavemen debate.

[Klimber]

Yeh I heard that Amy Acker will be in a few episodes of Alias and rumors starting about a Spike movie. ** Crosses fingers **

[EnderDeschain]

A Spike movie would absolutely kick ass. There's so much they didn't get to do with him after he was re-souled. I never watched Angel after the first season, but I was a die-hard Buffy fan from day one, and as such of course I was a huge Spike fan. So when he went over to Angel I started watching, and was thoroughly excited and impressed by what they did with him and just the whole of season five in general, and then poof! It's cancelled. It's just criminal.

Fred was pretty hot. And cute. I'd take her over Cordelia any day.

[Rogue]

Aww. I absolutely adored Fred..until Illyria took over. Not that Illyriia didn't kick complete ass - especially when she was beating Spike hahahaha. It's just not normal that someone like that would fit into a Fred-looking package. ;)

As for a Spike movie, I"d watch it and drown in my own drool. God, Marsters is so freakin' hot!!

[Klimber]

Angel cast alert:
I saw that Sarah Thompson (Eve) was on (** feels vomit rise in back of throat**) 7th heaven last night. (**vomits**)
