Yes, I think much of my annoyance springs from stuff that turned out to be a trick. Which is a ploy I generally object to on principle. It was Dallas all over again. Bobby? Dead? Nonono. They've just been DREAMING for four seasons.

Of course, this is one reason I didn't enjoy The Gone-Away World as much as I might have, and I'm fairly sure we're not agreeing on that.


I disagree that GAW is comparable. Harkaway lays the ground and prepares the twist. I did not find any of that in Angel. It did not provide a satisfying moment of retrospective illumination; it just changed its mind (this is Angel). One gives the impression of being planned, the other does not

But as for Whedon, yeah, he doesn't do it as badly as that, but it's still annoying when he does it. Don't get me started on the retcon in Buffy Season Eight, either. Way to undermine your character development (though I suppose the character development is real even if you retcon the cause, but still).


Season 8?

Because TV shows about vampires are usually not concerned about science? *NM* Darth_Katie - 08/09/2010 10:07:53 PM 332 Views
But why? Camilla - 08/09/2010 10:09:33 PM 741 Views
Combination of both, probably. Darth_Katie - 08/09/2010 10:25:01 PM 785 Views
