Angel - Sanctuary (5x5 review)
P@rick
Angel's place gets haunted by Noo-Shyt spirits who claim that Angel is
living on, or rather in, sacred ground. How strange is that? I didn't even
think vampires
could live on sacred ground. And he hardly ever swears.
Angel seeks refuge and joins Wesley in Cordy's appartment. Who shouldn't be
complaining with two handsome (thank god for contacts Wesley) men around the
house. Ok, so seeing Angel floss and sharpen his teeth isn't a pretty sight.
But at least he doesn't spend hours in front of the mirror like Cordy does.
And besides, Angel cooks a delicious meal and Wesley.. well, err.. he makes
the nicest cup of tea.
Then the Noo-Shyt spirits follow Angel to Cordy's appartment because he has
violated their sacred ground. Nice to see Cordy isn't scared because she's
used to ghosts. At first she thought it was Phantom Dennis ("Dennis, stop
messing with Angel's hair!". But when the Nancy Boy hairgel was replaced
with bleaching agent we knew there were more evil forces at work.
How did Angel violate the sacred ground? Wesley and Angel think it's because
Angel is in fact an undead walking the ground where once stood a temple. But
I liked Cordy's explanation better "Yeah, plus your sewer going through
their holy ground must be pissing them off too".
Wow! Phantom Dennis made short work of those spirits. Well he did it before
with his Evil Bitch Mother from Hell, so why not a couple of Noo-Shyt
spirits? Good thing Dennis is on good terms with Cordy. Downside is, of
course, that the place needs redecorating now.
Why didn't Wesley go with Angel to stay with him? Or rather, why didn't
Cordy insist on that? Looks like she doesn't mind having him around after
all. Are they ready for another try after the debacle in Graduation Day II?
Nothing more to say about this ep really. I keep feeling like I've seen it
all before. But I can't really place it. Promo for next week looked
spectacular.
Bye, Patrick

Dan maar even in het Nederlands, want ik wil toch even reageren.
Patrick, je bent geweldig :-) Evenals vorige week heb ik enorm genoten
van je review. Ook deze verdient een ereplaatsje op de ABE website én
een gouden lijstje!
Bravo!!

Another wonderful review, P@rick. I wasn't even expecting this,
thought that 5x5 5x5 review last week was a one off thing, but it
seems you're gonna try and keep it up for all five eps.
Commendable devotion to the ReviewMeister [tm] title, not leaving
a single ep unreviewed, even the ones you don't watch! I'm
looking forward to `Blind Date'!

Hmm, `War Zone', sounds spectacular :)
