Still behind, but catching up.

I've now seen Angel up to, um, "Habeas Corpses." The 8th ep of S4. And now I'm watching them on videotape so I don't know the names as I watch them - I just went to an ep guide online to find out.

It's a bit different from watching on DVD. Now I'm seeing the "Previously, on Angel" sequences, which is kind of cool, and also just a little spoilery (because I can guess at the themes of the coming episode by which Previously bits they choose to show). On the other hand, unlike with the DVDs I don't know the names of the episodes as I watch them, and the names can also be a bit spoilery in a very cryptic way. (Some more than others. The title "Inca Mummy Girl," for instance, gives a pretty good idea of what's to come, whereas "Redefinition" gave me no idea what to expect, and in fact I can't even remember from the title what happened in that one.)

When's the very last episode of Angel airing? Monday after next? I have this crazy ambition to catch up by then, and watch the final ep live with a friend. (Or at least on tape just a couple hours after airing, with the friend, because we have our regular D&D sessions on Monday nights and we can't miss that... and why yes, I am a geek!)

Now I'm going to talk about things that happen in the first eight eps of Angel S4, so I shall cut. ( Snip. )
