We are up to Buffy 4x10 and Angel 1x10 on Patreon! www.patreon.com/user?u=46537541
Its finally time! I've started watching Angel! I was super excited to see this. I really enjoyed the different vibe that Angel has and how were dealing with more adults in this series. Obviously, I was happy to see Cordelia since I thought she was gone. I really like her in the show so far. In general, I thought this was a pretty good first episode! What were your thoughts?
Good to see you reactin to angel too. And yeah we noticed you were happy about seein Cordelia, i think you even asked "wheres Cordelia?" when watchin Buffy 4x01. And good that you spotted the Angel calling Buffy moment. Agree with you pretty good first ep
As you know by now Wolfram & Hart are much worse than vampires, they're lawyers.
I see what you did there. 😂
The whole "then I'm gonna share my feelings," line still ranks as one of my all-time favorite quips in all of TV. It's badass and conveys emotional depth at the same time.
"Are they vampires too?"
Lawyers, close enough.
15:15 The "timestamp to skip supernatural spoilers" was clearly meant for the full-form patreon reaction. Here's the time code for the youtube cut if anyone wants it.
The lawyer is played by Christian Kane. He's great in Leverage and The Librarians.
He’s also a talented musician.
it makes me so happy people are still learning about Buffy and Angel. Even after 15 years these are still my comfort shows!
Always fun to see the joy on reactors' faces when they find out Cordelia's part of this show! I'm glad it wasn't spoiled for you. Excited to see you react to the rest of Angel - there's some great stuff in store for you!
Yeah, I always enjoy that. Especially seeing how most people react to Cordelia in the early episodes.
Angel is a darker, more grown up show than Buffy (which is, after all a teen drama). In Angel, people can be monsters too. The guy from Wolfram and Hart is human, but that doesn't mean he's good.
Cordy's changed a lot since season 1 of Buffy. Her family has lost all their money, for one thing, so she's probably got as little financial support at home as she has trying to make her own way in LA. Her relationship with Xander (and the other Scoobies) changed her as well, even after it was over,
6:57 So, a fun fact about that fade transition: it cuts off the end of that scene. The full version shot had Angel lick Tina's blood from his fingers, but somebody (I forget who) decided that was a bit too fucked up for the premiere so instead the episode cuts away before it happens.
The basic idea of _Buffy_ was to take the trope of the monster stalking the blond girl in the alley and flip it on its head, with the blond girl ready and able to take on and defeat the monster. In _Angel,_ the writers returned to the trope, so the blond girls in the alley once again need to be saved from the monsters. Except that the savior is also sort of a monster.
Really glad you didn't watch the credits.
I loved your surprise when you saw Cordy. Watching Buffy 4x01 you were asking about Cordy and everyone biting their tongue to stop from saying wait till Angel 1x01.
Basically, think of Doyle as a replacement actor for the character that showed Angel Buffy in the "Becoming" episode.
Yes, Whistler. I guess he is another servant of the powers
The guy who plays the lawyer, Christian Kane, is one of the main characters on Leverage (another reaction-worthy show) where he gets to play a character a lot true to himself and, according to my sister, is emphatically sexier.
My mom thought he was sexy on Leverage, too. Buy your sister his country music album “The House Rules” and see if she likes it as much as my mom did.
5:00 that is one of my favorite jokes in the show
Hey Riley! I am so happy that you liked the episode. It's so beautiful that Cordy surprised you 😍 I was waiting for that! Thank you so much for still editing and posting your videos for us deadbeats on TH-cam. 😂🥰😂
Russell was super rich...and a vampire. But there are low-life vampires too, remember, like the ones Angel dusted at the beginning of the episode. And Cordy! Still saying exactly what she thinks...
the character of Doyle (one of my faves! and RIP to the actor) was created after the actor who played Whistler in Buffy s2 was unavailable.
Sad how Glenn Quinn died. He was a great actor (on Roseanne as well), gone too soon.
Watching this episode makes me super nostalgic for Lost, since we get both Josh Holloway (Sawyer) and Tracey Middendorf (Bonnie). I would love to see Riley react to Lost, although I think Alias, a seriously underappreciated JJ Abrams creation, would track more in the Buffy vein.
Good call on Alias, I think Riley would like that a lot. Though she’d probably like Lost too.
This is a great pilot for a great show. A completely different atmosphere compared to BTVS. Also Angel looks like a totally different character from Buffy's boyfriend: still brooding, but also smiling every now and then! Cordelia is a very nice addition to the series, I think she fits perfectly here, while in BTVS there was not much left to do for her character. Well, at the time they still had to improve on stage makeup for vampires but they then consulted the BTVS colleagues and things went better. So welcome to the City of Angel...s!
i watched angel first season and than i started watching buffy!!! i remember watching the first season of angel back in 1999 when i was 13!!! back than we had to wait a week to watch the next episode!!!! i was there in front of the TV every week on tuesday 10pm to watch angel!!! i loved that show!!!
Angel tastes Tina's blood at 7:00 in the original script but they cut it out.
You have discovered the delightful and gorgeous Christian Kane (the evil lawyer). Besides acting, he's also an amazing country singer! th-cam.com/users/ChristianKane
That was a good observation on opportunities and women being taken advantage of, which is why Tina was surprised Angel would let her stay at his place without asking for anything (i.e. sex) because she had been taken advantage of before. Reminds me of that old 80s Poison video "Fallen Angel" th-cam.com/video/AelpbAegA-4/w-d-xo.html. And yes the transitions were different and intentional
Angel wasn't quite one-dimensional on _Buffy the Vampire Slayer,_ but watching this episode shows how underdeveloped his character was due to all the other characters only thinking of him as Buffy's vampire boyfriend (even when he was Angelus).
Correct.
The guy who made that phone call after Angel pushed Russell out of the window was in an episode of Season 15 of Supernatural if you've gotten that far in that show. He was also in a show called the Librarians.
And a series regular on Leverage. And he’s a country music artist.
@@jeremyfrost2636 Christian Kane
@@Madbandit77 Yep.
Its been so long since I've seen season 1 of Supernatural I dodnt even remember Sam having visions. Lol
Awesome reaction Riley! You're so much fun to hang out with and watch tele. Thank you. 🤗
They were trying something new with the vampire makeup in this episode. I think they realized it wasn't working, so that won't last.
I'm like a broken record every time someone reacts to this episode but the Russell/Jeffrey Epstein parallels are so creepy to me, especially as Joss grew up in the entertainment industry. An ambiguously wealthy and influential guy with a large, fortified estate who has a pyramid scheme of women recruiting prey for him? He may not have based it on Epstein exactly but I'd bet my house that this is based on people like him that Joss knew about and this being the plot for the pilot episode was definitely to set the mood for L.A or 'the big city' being a seedy place where people get taken advantage of and pulled into structures/games that are bigger than themselves.
Cordelia's too old for Epstein. Harvey Weinstein would be a better fit, especially as Cordelia wants to be an actress.
This isn’t a new idea. Wealthy and powerful men have been preying on ambitious and impressionable girls since the dawn of entertainment. The 1920s-1940s were full of these sexual predators that promise aspiring singers and actresses by "I’ll make you a star" then they sexually extort them.
Great observations in this reaction! Welcome to Angel, it’s going to be a great ride
I just looked up the episode, and wow, I didn't recognise that that guy at the start was Sawyer from LOST.
He looks so different with short hair.
Reasonably sure any "weird noises" were NOT the dog. ;-)
I can't believe she skipped The Angel intro
I haven't seen Supernatural, and I don't plan to, so I just kept listening to your comments.
Hey there’s “only” 327 episodes 😂
Angel is an incredible show in its own right. Much more darker than BTVS. It is important to watch both shows in watch order because of the crossover plots, storylines, and characters appearing in both. This was a strong opener where as Angel was very much a one dimensional character in BTVS, here we get to see a more richer character we brilliant flashbacks to see how he developed. The addition of Cordy is great too and Doyle provides some great comic moments. Enjoy the show the best episodes of Angel are easily a match for BTVS and many surpass it. Enjoy the show, you will love it.
I don’t really think it’s “much darker” than Buffy, especially when you consider a couple Buffy seasons. I think people lean on that a bit too much. It does tend to have darker origins for MOTW’s, and they tend to have more focus and weight here than they do on ‘Buffy’. While it is more consistently moody and maudlin show than Buffy, isn’t really about growing up like Buffy and is literally darker, as in the lighting and cinematography.
@@liteflightify Agreed it is literally darker in lighting and cinematography than BTVS was a very 'Bright, Shiny' show. The content in Angel is still much more adult ,' probably because they are all adults' agree later seasons of Buffy also. I don't really want to go into specifics and on why it is darker in vibe, as it would spoil it for Riley.
That intro 😭. Epic vibes
Best advice I can give. Watch BUFFY S4E1and then ANGEL S1E1 and watch in that order all the way thru. Cross Over shows will line up that way too. (IMO) Hope you like it as much as you think you will.
Yeah, the "vamp-face" looks really weird in the early Angel episodes. Kinda like too much bad CGI or something so they all look weird, really white and somehow sick. It'll get better 😅
Alley "we didn't get knew characters"
Doyle, am I a joke to you?
Thanks for the reaction! Just wanted to let you know, though, that you currently say to skip to 49:49 to avoid SPN spoilers... in a video that's 26 minutes long. Was that the timestamp in the unedited reaction, and you just forgot to change it for the edited version? Didn't actually bother me, because I'm not worried about SPN spoilers, but thought you might want to know! Hope all is well. :)
Love Buffy and Angel but Spike is my boy 😈🖤😻😻🖤😈
It's called "defenistration" to be killed by being thrown out a window.
Consider me on board 😀
So glad you watched this one so soon! I think you'll be surprised in that this show is sort of more adult themed rather than Buffy which was high school at best lol can't wait to the next one great job 👍😃💯
in hollywood I guess they call it trade, favor for a favor, they dont have to do it ofc, it is not blackmail either, it is nasty, but it is all about free choice, "date" the guy and you MIGHT get a famous.
but this guy ended the girls, they were just a food source for him :P
It's not just young women that get prayed on in Hollywood. John Travolta wrote about how he was forced to perform oral sex on a movie executive when he was just breaking into the business.
I honestly never cared much for Angel on BTVS. His character always seemed boring and one-dimensional to me (not counting Angelus' run in season 2, which was fantastic). I was so hesitant to give this show a chance, but I'm glad I did. His character is really allowed to grow and shine on his own merit.
not to bring politics into this, but a fun fact in the audio commentary (so decades ago), JW said that he based the character of Russel on the former POTUS.
Got into Buffy Reactor Awards again: th-cam.com/video/BlPyLMGy-l4/w-d-xo.html
Love Angel.so better And darker than Buffy but also More adult, funny and cool
Russell is an exceptionally ugly vampire. Joss Whedon also wasn't happy with the vamp makeup in this episode and made the Angel makeup artists get lessons from the Buffy makeup team.
Season 1 is probably the best season honestly.
5, 3, 2, 1 and 4. You can maybe switch around 1 and 2.
NCIS copied the transitions from Angel, and then made them even worse.
