Title: Sue Sylvester, Glee

TV:

  • 30 Rock: Very, very meta.
  • The Office: this week's episode was forgettable but I haven't commented on last week's awesome ending. That was... Memmy-worthy . The homage to the JK Wedding Dance was c.lassic Office and super cute! Dwight kicked a girl in the face (... yes I'm 12), Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration spanked Phyllis, Andy danced on his crutches with Erin and Jam finally got hitched in private on the Maid of the Mist (callback to Booze Cruise).
  • FlashForward: seriously needs to lighten up! Sure, the situation is scary but c'mon the Losties were stranded on the most overpopulated uninhabited island ever with smoke monsters, polar bears and the French and they built a golf course. And a runway (... for the aliens ).
  • The Good Wife: I enjoyed it. Nothing ground-breaking but the interactions within the family were great. How would you protect your teenage children from media bombardment? You couldn't.
  • Glee: There should be a rule that every TV villain has to keep a personal journal. And be played by Jane Lynch. The "Ride Wit Me" jam session was adorable! More group songs please. I hope Will has learned the lesson that he shouldn't put Rachel and Finn front and centre every time. It irks me a little that Finn gets all the solos, since he's the weakest male singer. Artie and even Puck are better. Btw has anyone seen the Canadian promos for next week? Two hot Jews are going to get some action!


Movies
: Can't add them. TV.com is weird. Ugh.

TOP 100 CHARACTERS:

25. Angel / Angelus

"You're handsome, and brave, and heroic... emotionally stunted, erratic, prone to turning evil and, let's face it, a eunuch."

Angel

Photobucket

Show: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel

Portrayed by: David Boreanaz

Backstory: Liam is the Irish form of William... Angel and Spike have the same first name. Weird. As for the rest, I'm not summarizing 200+ years cause man, that vampire got around (not like that).

Why:

Angel: The way I always felt about Angel on Buffy was the exact same way I felt about Riley. Don't love 'em, don't hate 'em, just don't care. No, it wasn't until he was spun off to L.A. that he grew on me. Big time. Door-smashing, brooding, melodramatic with a big heart, even if it didn't beat. Yup, that was our Angel.

Angelus: the most terrifying and amazing part of Angelus is how much he differs from Angel. Where Angel was reserved and broody, Angelus was aggressive and outspoken. Where Angel was caring and compassionate, Angelus was cruel and merciless. Where Angel sought redemption, Angelus sought only to remorselessly continue on his path of destruction. This made him an intriguing villain and character.

Best episode:

Angel: It's always difficult to pick a favorite episode for a lead title character. Uhm... Smile Time. Puppet cancer.

Angelus: Passion (unlike Angel, I prefer Angelus on Buffy S2. He was darker and edgier there. It could of been the eyeliner. We all know I have a thing for that.)

Favorite moment:

Angel: Mandy

Angelus: WAS IT GOOD FOR YOU TOO?

Memorable quote:

Angel: I want you, Lindsey!... I'm thinking about rephrasing that.

Angelus: Spike, my boy, you really don't get it! Do you? You tried to kill her, but you couldn't. Look at you. You're a wreck! She's stronger than any Slayer you've ever faced. Force won't get it done. You gotta work from the inside. To kill this girl... you have to love her.

I haven't seen the 30 Rock premiere yet, didn't really feel like watching anything yesterday or today. Still behind on FlashForward. Haven't bothered checking out the Good Wife pilot yet. Sorry the movies didn't work My blog was glitching too. it only worked when I didn't center the blog and sent it as a PM to myself (because the PM beeps bad words automatically).



Angelus got around like that too. There was even that thing with Spike... Little known fact: I'm completely in love with Angel(us) I loved Angel since episode one! I guess I saw the potential when most people didn't. I saw the Angel we know from his own show even if it wasn't clear & I loved Bangel. I love how different and yet the same Angel and Angelus are too. You can't get any more evil than Angelus.... and yet he's so lovable. IMO this is the most complex and well written character ever. The eye liner *dies* and the leather pants. Lol love your Angel quote

30 Rock was okay, they've had better premieres. I'm not sure if you'd like The Good Wife. It's a little procedural.

Yeah I figured you would like this one . It's not that I disliked him on Btvs, I was neutral to him. Of course I was never a Bangel fan (or hater, again neutral). Who do you like more Angel or Angelus?

People keep telling me I wouldn't like the Good Wife... I never had a good reason to watch it until now. Now I kinda just wanna watch it to prove you guys wrong I get it, most people didn't love Angel on Buffy and I'm cool with that. You're Switzerland I like Angel a more than Angelus. But not by much You?

jane lynch is amazing!
Posted Oct 17, 2009 2:59 pm PT
Prove us wrong! .
Dunno who's my favorite, I liked Angelus more on Btvs and Angel more on Angel. Normally I prefer the Bads over the goody-goodies but if I HAD TO pick one I guess it would be Angel. Because he got more screen-time so there are more moments to enjoy him. In the end it doesn't really matter anyway, cause one wouldn't work without the other.

emma5000: I know, they might as well just give her the Emmy already .
Posted Oct 17, 2009 3:07 pm PT
she'd sure deserve it. she's got this incredible deadpan humour and she's more frightening than any of "supernatural"'s demons or ghosts by far ...
Posted Oct 17, 2009 3:24 pm PT
Don't watch Supernatural so I'll have to take your word for that . Sue's character could of been horrible if she was played by a less talented actress. Thanks to Lynch's flawless line delivery, she's awesome! (though my favorite is still Kurt ).

I do like some procedurals... they are usually lighter ones though. Well Angel isn't a goody-goodie, he's can be a pretty bad boy too that's what makes him so interesting. Yeah Angel getting more screentime is one of the reasons why I love him more as well.
Posted Oct 17, 2009 3:29 pm PT
he is? couldn't have told ...
Posted Oct 17, 2009 3:39 pm PT
You mean like Bones and Castle? The Good Wife is more like Law & Order. Well, just see for yourself .
Compared to Angelus Angel is a goody-goody (who isn't ). No I meant in general I prefer villains or bad boys over tortured heroes. Angel's an exception since he doesn't whine like most do.

What gave it away?
Posted Oct 17, 2009 3:45 pm PT
i've got no idea ... it was just intuition ...

Jane Lynch is so hilarious as Sue Sylvester. It doesn't bug that much that Finn is the weakest singer, but it does bug me that he gets all the solos. I skip the promos, but my friend Cori watched them and said the next episode looks exciting. I didn't like Angel on Buffy either. I started liking him when he got his own show. I love Angelus. He's awesome. I love when Angel sings Mandy. It's hilarious.

Flashforward aired its second episode this week here and so far it looks really intriguing. It's catchy so we'll see how it goes. Have a nice weekend. Hugs

Hey!
I really was thinking about watching 30Rock since I'm missing out on the fun. Its good to have the odd comedy to relax with I think but not too much for me in my opinion. The main reason Id start watching it is because Tina Fey. She is amazing!
I laughed so much with your description of Lost lol.
I agree with you on Glee. Finn really isn't a great singer. It sounds like someone is squeezing his man jewels when he sings lol but I think its edgy for some reason,
I never watched Buffy but Daria loves that guy so I take her word for it hah.
Have a good week Anne!
Posted Oct 17, 2009 7:07 pm PT
Oh goodness. i love your blog title. that was such a funny line from the episode. haha. i loveeee glee. i don't really get the whole finn being the male lead either. but i still love it all the same. =D
Posted Oct 17, 2009 9:12 pm PT
I love FF.. so far I've seen the first 2 epis.. but it's good.. although I agree with you!
Posted Oct 18, 2009 1:02 am PT
im loving flashfoward, very intense and interesting..... i love 30 rock, but not the best season i heard, i cant wait until it starts here. have a nice week.
Posted Oct 18, 2009 3:55 am PT
I totally agree with you on FlashForward I mean how depressing is it when you watch them talk for 40 minutes, I have decided to drop the show, its no LOST
Posted Oct 18, 2009 6:44 am PT
Angel is my obcession ! I love Glee's music but I don't enjoy watching the show very much.
Posted Oct 18, 2009 10:05 am PT
Sue is my favourite character now. You know what? I'm going to change my icon.
Posted Oct 18, 2009 1:02 pm PT
Still behind on Glee but I heard very good. You are right about FF and that it could use a little lightness. I do feel bad for the show though, that it is constantly compared to Lost. I like the Asian FBI dude (damn, his name ). Hmmm... Angel. Yes I like him too. Puppet Angel and Mandy are cIassic!! great quotes.

Loved the office wedding dance, so funny & cute. The end scene was adorable & I think it made perfect sense that they got married in private like most fans wanted but we still got to see it which was everything we could have asked for. I think the fact that Finn and Rachel always being front and center so far in Glee is purposeful. Like eventually they'll bring in a new cast memeber or an existing background singer to steal the show. I certainly hope they do a "new kid" thing at some point, it would be a perfect fit.

I felt the same about Angel while on Buffy, heck even about Angelus most of the time. I just didn't really care that much. I mean he didn't get to really let loose as Angelus on Buffy. Yes he killed some people and did some damage but I feel like he got to be much darker overall when he was set loose on Angel.

The Office wedding was awesome! I actually liked the JK wedding dance thingy even though I thought ugh at first. It was very well done. The epi the next week was meh for me as well. Sue's journal is awesome! Puck finally got his solo last night!!!! Love, love, love Angel/Anelus.
