I'm not sure how many episodes it is, but it's a hell of a lot This box set which is first off the packaging is awesome. I believe this was There were so many of these made I think because there's a number right there There we go kind of this is number 12,708 limited edition so Brother-in-law actually bought this for my wife one year for Christmas. I believe yeah now they did bring these Back out and different collected, but this is a limited edition box set This box set it has all five seasons of Angel All the special features from the previous Angel DVD releases Casco commentaries feature at the late scenes outtake screen tests I also choose brand new a letter from the series creator Josh Whedon and It's got a full color booklet of all the episodes that are available here in the set So let's go ahead and break this thing open and check out the goodies first off is what's really cool is you open this thing up and Boom David Boreani's instant. It's kind of like, you know pancakes except hotter And of course here when a flap opens you got the entire cast right there the main cast You'll notice the individual discs form David Boy Angel's face in this little flap here, we do have the letter which it's just held on by a little little flap I like this letter. It's kind of cool because now I didn't read it But you open it up It's very poster quality if you so if you want to hang it up or whatever, but this is what I like It's got the curve hard So go ahead and show that But it It's just a printed letter from Joe Sweden and thank you for being an angel fan And now Buffy the main part So as I said, I'm also concludes an awesome and this is a thick thick booklet of all the episodes In the series each page contain a picture of David Boreani. So I am here a fan Yeah, it's got wonderful pictures here of you know cast and crew and like it looks like some artwork of sketches of villains so Pretty cool. I'm always a fan of DVD box sets who have little booklets like this I think last episode review the Power Rangers DVD. They also had a little episode booklet So those are always really cool to throw into the whole box sets So then we get to the good stuff inside real quick before we get into this which Episode was your favorite I like all the episodes with the green demon Here's my favorite character. I forget his name and I even forget the warring. Lauren. I think it is Lauren Or Lauren Warren. So I might be a I know the actor had died a few years back due to I believe Cancer something like that. Yeah, so and my favorite episode would have to be The final episode the fall the fallen And I just want to note that I haven't actually finished this series I finished Buffy and I think I got to the episode season four and I stopped My wife has the entire collection of Buffy and Angel So This was actually one of the first things we watched together when we first started dating was this entire series So because I lived in a house on my own I started dating and she brought over I told her to bring over some of her movies or whatever and She asked me if I liked the angel and I said sure who doesn't So start watching that One of the craziest episodes I think Ever was from the final season, I believe When Angel gets turned into a Muppet Oh, yeah A Muppet episode And he's got a fight spike Muppet spike Now another one of my favorite episodes was when spike was a ghost during I think it was season four And They have to take on a necromancer and spike ends up possessing the necromancer body and the neck Angel is fighting the necromancer possessed by spike and He ends up the necromancer ends up falling and hitting his head and gets back up and keeps fighting angel Will it come come to find out? The necromancer had died as soon as his head hit that and so Angel was fighting spike the entire time So why don't you go ahead and tell us a little bit about the actual series itself the series itself books is on angel I think he's a 204 year old 240 year old 40 year old vampire Started out as angelus and irish High-standing civilian Never could really amount to anything in his father's eyes Um, not a nice guy. No, he becomes uh He becomes a vampire by darla Darla um of darla who Then he then turns um What's her name uh spikes girlfriend Uh Yes, I don't remember her name I think it starts with an a or something like and then she in turn turns spike and Sires them I guess it's called but comes about from Angel was a very popular character on buffy the vampire slayer Who was supposed to be a villain of hers and it being a love interest And it which is supposed to be ironic because buffy buffy is a vampire slayer And he turned evil. He's the vampire with a soul because of a gypsy curse um So he sat out to help buffy Over the course of buffy the vampire slayer, but at one point his his uh, Soul was taken again. So he turned back into angelus. Yes And tortured, uh What's his name the watcher uh jiles. Yeah jiles Uh tortured him and buffy ended up having to kill him Uh, but somehow it was a very heartbreaking. So she was somehow crying Right after that angel got brought back somehow Um, and duta's popularity. He was given his own show. It started out just him in this, uh He bought Kind of a commercial property in la. Yeah, but he didn't really do anything with the commercial part He just lived in the basement. He just wanted to do a detective agent type of thing. Well, he didn't uh Uh Carpenter's character who came over from buffy. Yeah to join the angel cast which she was probably one of the best parts of the show Both shows really I I actually was their character being called Amy The geeky one with the glasses I'm not sure They they had that hotel and everything. Yeah The hotel if they would have done it right I think when they moved into the hotel, I think that's when the series started getting a little bit goofy Really? Yeah Before that it was a lot darker Angel was a lot more brooding He tried they tried to put him back to his brooding roots when his son came along, but it didn't really work His son that's why I stopped watching Um But he's a son His son is between him and Darla Vampire learn I'm supposed to be able to uh have children, but somehow They managed to that's because it sounds like he chose it Well, no, uh Angel was the chosen one supposed to be at the chosen one until spike returned and uh got his soul Because the chosen one was supposed to be a vampire with the soul. All right. And so there was this whole feud between who the chosen one actually was angel or spike And when when spike turned from villain to good guy in or anti hero, I guess in the buffy the vampire slur Slur series he he became my favorite character. I like spy played by awesome james marston. Yeah Um, so for your smallville fans that would be brainy. Yeah Um, what else was he in oc the oc. I believe uh where he played with jim gordon I never watched either but i've gotten some uh commercials for it here and there he'd be a good character for Gotham. Yeah, he would I don't know who he'd play but he'd be a good character. He would be If they hadn't have already cast it He would have been the perfect either clock king or riddler I don't know. I don't know. I love who they got for riddler. Yeah. He's amazing but um Let's see here What else can I really say about angel? This was during the height of the gothic trend in All right, I think it was more towards the end. Yeah, maybe But he David Boryonis really made the whole brooding hero type thing Come alive and really brought interest to the brooding hero And uh, he's tried to do other things Um, unfortunately because of the successive angel This is the downside to a lot of popular Lasting shows. Now he's kind of now with uh, yes, it is with the younger generations who didn't really get to see angel He's known more for his role on bones Yeah, yeah, he is on bones now. He did do a pretty well job Because every time I watch bones, I still see angel He did do a good how jordan on uh final frontier Or a new frontier. Yeah, new frontier. Yeah, you did do the voice um What else can we really say about this? I mean it It's been so it's been seven years since I watched this. That's uh, I do know a little bit history of why the show ended though Uh, do you know the history? Yeah, uh the wb didn't The wb had then they still Do this but not as often because I think they can't learn their lesson Wb had this thing to where they wouldn't renew a season till the very end After the show ended because they weren't sure if they wanted to pick it up not just angel They did this with a lot of shows seventh heaven seventh heaven They did it with seventh heaven had like two or three different series finale And the thing is josh weeden has had a specific ending for the show that he wanted to do But he needed to know he wanted it picked up plain simple He wanted to know if it was going to get picked up. They wouldn't tell him So he basically said fuck you. I'm ending it. He ended it on his terms Um, I did it still end on a cliffhanger I did end on a cliffhanger, but they continued it written by joe sweden Into comic book after the fall. So he he basically again, you know said screw you to wb because you know and w and wb has since um They still do it. Um, they were doing it during smallville Except not so they would wait closer to the end of the series Which made it difficult because you know They have a specific ending to it right to the storyline that they might want to continue. So I think eventually they Towards mid season finale before they started filming the new half season. They'd be like, okay. Yeah go ahead And so but I think because of josh we can hear they kind of might have learned that loss a little bit Yeah, they didn't they kind of stopped doing that because Um angel was such a huge. It was still a huge hit. It probably could have gone on for another couple seasons for before it actually had a decent finale Like I said after once they moved into the Hotel that's when it started kind of dropping a little bit storyline wise It it was mostly filler episodes then then whenever angel became hit at the head of Oh wolferman heart Yeah, that's when it wolfman heart. That was kind of his his arch nemesis. Yeah, kind of so, all right, well, um Hold on a bad little center so um Like I said the last time I watched the entire thing All the way through was right after my wife and I got together started dating so um You have to uh Start watching it again. I hit it on my hard drive and I deleted it And then never finished watching it so uh Yeah, if you guys get a chance watch check it out Angel seasons one through five again this box that was a limited edition This one's not available that you could fight it on a secondary market such as amazon ebay or various disc replay maker replays so All right Stay tuned for more coming in.
