Angel - 0x01 - Unaired Pilot

Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt threw a small pilot episode together, to convince the WB to give Angel a spin-off from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. It almost seems like a promo, really.

was this a promo episode thing e.g. showing off what they could pull off?

@mandukar

Yeah. The WB executives needed Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt to be able to pitch the show to them. Just to make sure that it would fly. I am glad it did.

at 4.31 - isn't that a clip from Blade?! right at the beginning of Blade, when Mercury etc are dancing in the club?!

[Angelus00000]

@lizalector Yep. This video was only meant for the WB execs, so they'd pick up the show. They shot a few new scenes and just slap a bunch of others together around it, They'd probably have thrown in scenes from Batman, if it had vampires in it. Maybe the legal reasons were why it wasn't on the DVDs.

kind of off topic, but why did angel loose his accent while people like drusilla and spike some how kept theirs.

[Angelus00000]

@happyflowers1991

They never really said specifically why, but my opinion is that Angel intentionally Americanized himself. The whole fighting for redemption thing was something relatively new that had not come up until 1996, when Angel was approached by Whistler. Before then, he felt that he had no place in the world and tried to hide himself. It would make hiding in America more diificult if he still sported the Irish Brogue.

R.I.P Glenn Quinn for tho's of you who dont know he passed away drug overdose :(

[DaKillAhChApIn2k11]

Angel series should be back in 2012!!! I miss this serie so much.

[MaximusJacobus]

To the fond memories of Glenn Quinn and Andy Hallett. Both were fantastic actors that struck out a part of the show and made it shine.

Glenn Quinn was the perfect Doyle. I was always angry his character was killed off. So sad he's no longer with us in real life either :(

[CrazyAboutTiffanys18]
