Now that I've finished with The Defenders, I've gone back to watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. I've just started season six of Buffy and season three of Angel. Buffy's a little better at this point but I still feel sentimental about that hotel on Angel.
Last night I watched the second episode of Angel season three, "That Vision-Thing", in which Cordelia's visions have started to manifest with physical wounds. Charisma Carpenter's hair has started to grow back from the unflattering short haircut she'd apparently gotten in the middle of a scene back in season two.
Meanwhile, Fred (Amy Acker) is in this episode taking on a more prominent role, still recovering from the trauma of living in another dimension. She's just barely willing to come out of her hotel room, compulsively hiding under desks whenever she can. But still Angel (David Boreanaz) asks her to "take Cordelia home" when he notices Cordelia isn't feeling well. There are lots of continuity problems in this episode. It also begins the subplot of Wolfram and Hart trying to take down Angel with building code violations for the hotel. Gunn (J. August Richards) encounters a crew unexpectedly fumigating the hotel in one scene but then we never see them again nor get an explanation as to how Gunn dealt with them.
There's also the subplot about Darla (Julie Benz) being pregnant with Angel's child, a subplot I never liked, before or after the kid is actually born. It's amazing how much I overlook on this show to still enjoy it.
Angel is available on Disney+ in Australia.
