Goofy Angel during AtS season 3 was no bueno. Agree. It was kind of like, when the hell did this happen? I get the writers trying to make Angel more interesting and likeable, but I think they could of progressed it more naturally than they did. |

It's not as bad as a "Spoil the Moment" thread. I read one of those over at IMDb. I clicked it thinking, "It could never spoil a moment", and now I can't watch The Body, and Angel leaving in Graduation Day Pt. 2, the same ever again. |

"I'm Angel. I beat the bad guys" Is a great line... wtf lol
The evil Willow dialogue is gay as hell though. It's the reason why I can't bare the evil Willow episodes at all. It could have been powerful stuff, but shitty dialogue and Hannigan's super lame delivery kill it. You need every square-inch of your ass kicked? They had been writing nerds for too long it would seem.

I enjoy those episodes well enough, but more so because of the story line rather than Dark Willow herself (love Giles' return and the Xander scenes). Just not a fan of her dialogue at all. |

--In the episode Go Fish...for some reason, the scene where Angel attacks Wentworth Miller whats-his-character's-name in the alley bothers me. I know they did it just to continue the theme of the season and to show he was still a threat, but that entire episode has such a different plotline and I really feel at that point more than ever that they're basically going "Oh hey btw here's Angel, we didn't forget about him and we don't want you to, either!"
--As far as the Key goes...assuming it had to be some sort of a living thing, wouldn't it have been much simpler to make it into a fly or something else that would die in a few days? Glory never would have had a chance at all to figure out what it was or get ahold of it before that! And if it didn't have to be living...then why not just a miscellaneous rock in the middle of the desert?

C'mon people, I KNOW y'all can be shallower than that. Did six great years with Cordelia Chase not teach us anything?
Willow had the occasional bout of poor taste to be sure, but ironically, no fashion criminal is more heinous than Queen C herself.
Things were bad with the Monica Lewinski 'do in "The Shroud of Rahmon." Things got really bad when we saw her new bangs in "Waiting in the Wings." But nothing tops the streak from "Double or Nothing" to "Home," where wardrobe tried their darndest to turn one of the hottest women on television into a sexless lump of washed up. Her final moments in "Tomorrow" were hampered by television's worst hair cut, a gross overabundance of makeup, and a dress/bathrobe that looked like it belonged on "Touched By An Angel." WE GET THE IDEA, she's "nice Cordy" now, she didn't have to dress in white all the freakin' time.
Then comes season four, and quicker than you can say "summer vacation,"we're exposed to "The History of Ugly, Pregancy Hiding Jackets for the 50+ Crowd" week after week after week. When Jasmine/Cordy tempted Angelus in "Soulless," don't you expect him to mutter "maybe three months ago?" Disheveled Lilah in "Calvary" looked a dozen times hotter; hell, dead Lilah in "Salvage" still had the advantage.
Speaking of Lilah, what the hell was she wearing in "Home"? Memo to W&H fashions for the undead: a turtleneck is a classy way to hide one's headlessness; a purple ribbon makes you look like you're auditioning for "Sailor Moon: The Reality TV Series."
Then, there's poor old Lindsey McDonald. After spending week after week looking ridiculously hot in well-tailored suits, he throws it all away for the "put me in a Carrie Underwood video" look? I'm amazed he left his spurs at home...
On the other side of the 'verse, Buffy's hair in "Amends." To quote Mal Reynolds, [enter Chinese profanity here].
Now that's good shallowness right there.

I always thought that was a pathetic plot point that Angelus would want Cordy so much he'd give up his only card. Caricature Cordy: "give me the info and i'll bounce on top of you." Caricature Angelus: "yippee skippee and an okie dokey, little lady. sit down and here the tale of the svear priestesses..." (not exactly evil genius material imo) This thread is actually starting to make me sad lol Sorry its making you sad, Rach. I think of it as knowing the shows intimately enough that you love their flaws as much as their triumphs. Like Buffy's pink leather pants. Its something so wrong, yet I love them for their Buffy-ness. -ASH/Giles has the weirdest wrinkles on his forehead that go diagonally upwards towards his hairline. -Why'd it take until Season 7 for the Scoobies to get cell phones in Sunnydale . I knew little kids who had cell phones by 2002. |

-ASH/Giles has the weirdest wrinkles on his forehead that go diagonally upwards towards his hairline. I always wondered about that. I figured it might be a scar. For reference:  It's the diagonal scar/wrinkle looking thing on the left (his right) side of his forehead.  |

Spike occasionally had tan lines-- but to be fair i was never complaining when he was topless!
Cordelia has that mark/freckle thing on her cheeck which is really well covered up on Buffy but the on Angel the make-up artists just didn't bother
tara had HIDEOUS roots in season 4!! honestly...
Caleb was hot.. i wish there'd been opportunities for him to be topless- they did it to enough of the other characters!
Angel ruddy well AGES for somebody who has looked 26 for 200 odd years- think of the skinny young man in season one of buffy and the equally handsome-but-much-older-and-heavier-looking man at the end of Angel (obvously this couldn't be avoided but it always made me laugh)
The vamp make up in "City of" was completely different to the vamp make-up in Buffy
okay okay i could probably go on but won't 'cause i feel so shallow now..

Another thing that bothered me: The second half of I Was Made to Love You and The Body take place on the same day, but after April the Robot's battery dies, there is scene between Buffy and Xander at UC Sunnydale that CLEARY takes place at night time, but then Buffy comes home and find Joyce, daylight, everyone is wearing the same clothes from I Was Made to Love You. Just a little thing, but always annoys me.

I have another couple this is really superficial but was anyone else bothered by willow/Alys weird hair line thing in season 1 and some of season 2
And i just re watched season 7 the first is not corporeal right well why is it always leaning on things or sitting on them! just another season 7 error I'm guessing
Oh and one more thing why is it that in life serial when time speeds up no one notices Buffy? even Tara just walks off on her... alot that just drives me crazy.

Caleb was hot.. i wish there'd been opportunities for him to be topless- they did it to enough of the other characters! Just watch "Firefly"--you'll get to see him topless... and bottomless!  Two related underwear complaints: - Jasmine needed people to take off their clothes before she could eat them, because apparently she couldn't digest clothes... but she must've been able to digest underwear, because not all her victims stripped down all the way (thinking specifically of the scene in her suite in "Sacrifice"). Ah, the limitations of broadcast TV... - Faith having sex with Wood, while still wearing her bra. I don't know, just doesn't seem like Faith's style. She's hardly Modesty Girl. As we saw with Sarah during S6, there are plenty of ways to shoot those kinds of scenes that imply complete nudity while not actually showing anything, so bad job by the director in this case with Faith/Robin... |

I always think its funny when any morning after scene is shot and the girl is still wearing her bra. If she didn't take it off for sex, she'd at least take it off to go to sleep. Not exactly comfy sleepwear. |

I think the bra was more for Eliza's comfort, I remember her saying at her Q&A at Wizard World Boston, that "you have a better chance at seeing God than me naked." But like you said, there could of been ways around it.
