Angel: Season 2

I rewatched the second season of Angel and i remembered why i disliked it so much – not as much 4 and 5 season. But Angel is so annoying and stupid and i just want to struggle him and than stake him. This when the season did so much right. It brings Darla back. Darla is an amazing character that died to soon. In this season we got alot inside of her. Which is really amazing to see what Darla wants and what she fears. Which person she was before she got a vampire. Also it introduced Lorne, which is also an amazing character. Gunn is getting a bigger role and the bring back a few good amazing characters for a episode. So they did everything right. Just Angel is the worth thing in that season. Without him the season what be amazing.

Special Guests

Let’s start with one of my favorite parts. In the first episode we see Angel visit Faith. Faith is such an amazing character. She is one of my favorite and that she is always part of Angel is a good reason to watch. Other than Angel, she is not losing her way.
The second really amazing special guest is Anne. Maybe you remember her. She is the best example for what i wanted to see on supernatural. We meet her before in two episode in Buffy. Anne was one of the people that wanted to become a vampire. Buffy is saving her and she goes a way to start a new life.But she never get it right. She met a boy and fall in love with him. This is not a bad thing but she thought that she need him. She didn’t believe in herself. But Buffy saves her again and wanted to fight for herself. Now we see her again in Angel. She is woman that believes in herself and fight to help people. Not like Angel or Buffy. She is helping people like herself. Left alone from the world, with a bad past, without home. She became such a great and strong character.
Willow has a little moment in the serie and Harmonie visit Cordelia. She is totally like Harmonie always were.

Darla

Darla has an interessting journay. She came back as human and she get to know how big this guilty is. The guilt she had loaded on her shoulders. She has so much pain and she doesn’t want to feel it. She goes from wanting to become vampire, to just don’t want to die. Before she became a vampire, she was going to die. Now that he is human again the illness is also back. The medic is better than before but the illness to much progressed to help her. So she will die. When she is ready to find her peace. Wolfram and Hart taken that from her. They let Drusila make her a vampire again. The interessting is that she wanted to know why Drusila did it. She get back to her oldself when Dursila breaks down. Drusila needed her in that moment to be the old Darla. So she became the old Darla. But which Darla she is, she always just wanted love. More than anything.

Angel alone

Angel is pushing his friends away. Someone may thing that Angel have no problems alone and the others will have. But it is the other way around. Cordelia, Gunn and Wesley work together in Angel Investigation. They have a few problems but they make it work. Angel on the other hand is lost. He brings Lorne and Kate in many problems. He can not work alone, he never could. He is the one that need the other and not the other way around. He broke Kate and her life. He take without knowing everything from her. She lost her father, her believe in the world, her work and in the end her job and her life – even when in the end he saved hers.
But the most important thing is. That Wesley and Gunn let her decide if they gave Angel a chance. Cordelia was the most hurt. So she decides what they do.

Love and Hate

Lindsay and Leyla are forced to work together in that season and they can’t make that pretty good. Lindsay is one of them bringing Darla back. But he has really feelings for her. Feelings were always Lindsays problems. Lindsay make a lot of bad things but he feels guilty about it. He feels dirty but he will do it. He is helping Darla when ever he could. Leyla seems to have no feelings but she has them, but she isn’t feeling guilty about her work. Arn’t they a pair. I love them both. The sad and good thing is that in the end Lindsay got out. He left the firm and the serie. I know he will be back and… we don’t talk about it.

Other good things

The relationship that developed between Cordelia and Angel. Now something very real will between them and will ship them until the end. Even when Cordelia deserve better. The second one is Fred. Fred is the best that ever happend to the serie.
Also we begann to see the dark side of Wesley.
