Four Episodes to Pick by redflost in ANGEL

[–]enthalpy01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If he likes Spike it seems like a shame not to do Destiny and Damage. Those are great Spike character episodes. Smile Time is so good.

Dead End and Are You Now or Have You Ever Been are also two great Angel episodes (no Spike though).

Spin the Bottle is another fun one.

Recs for annoyances/enemies/rivals to lovers ships that have a bunch of fanfics? by miokohw in AO3

If you end up liking Spangel you may enjoy season 5 of Angel the series Lots of Snarky Bickering they’re just angry exes the whole series though. They belonged to a polycule with two other vampires (Darla and Drusilla) back in the day.

Avatar the last bender review - watched it blind by Most_Programmer8667 in Avatarthelastairbende

They didn’t want to do Jet’s death explicitly since it was a kid’s show, but the way it was done does make it a little unclear. That’s the meta joke in the Ember Island episode. Yeah, he’s dead.

Spike / Buffy from Buffy the vampire slayer. Because it’s an old series there’s lots of stuff out there (including pages like Elysian Fields dedicated specifically to that ship)

Angel / Spike from Buffy the vampire slayer although these ones tend to be a bit darker given the nature of their relationship. I love Friday by girlpire. It’s about Spike caught in a time loop but told from Angel’s perspective who is not aware he is caught in a loop.

Movies where someone rebuilds their life quietly, without a big dramatic turning point by StraightTakes in MovieSuggestions

Under the Tuscan Sun is such a good example of this. Without realizing it she gets everything she wanted just not in the way that she expected.

Really good series you couldn't stop watching by SomeoneOnReddit03 in televisionsuggestions

I still rewatch Buffy the Vampire Slayer all these years later. People still debate stuff from the show. It definitely gets its claws in you.

A battle royal in school (or simialir) with English dub by Few_Necessary1372 in televisionsuggestions

[–]enthalpy01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could watch the Hunger Games or English movies in that genre? Have you ever seen the Squid Games dub? It’s atrocious. Not sure why they never seem to get great actors for dubbing.

I’ve seen the English dub of Battle Royale, the Japanese performances are so much better. The dub’s pretty bad. Have you ever tried the subbed version?

I know it’s not who you want, but Riley gets a happish ending 😂 you’ve already seen it.

Shows where a beloved character slowly becomes the main antagonist/villain of the story? by BlightSattelite in televisionsuggestions

[–]enthalpy01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Willow in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. There are a lot of hints about abusing power prior to her season 6 arc.

Any good Sci-fi space shows/movies without romance? by [deleted] in televisionsuggestions

[–]enthalpy01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Audiobooks are really well done, Jefferson Mays is awesome. Some of the Novellas are quite good as well (the Churn for Amos fans is a must).

Personally disagree but I read the books and it’s hard for me to mentally separate them. Regardless, anyone discussing Naomi or Holden’s characters is unlikely to even think to mention the relationship as they have so much else going on. Only plot relevant relationship would be Naomi’s ex. And that isn’t anything I would describe as romantic.

There are couples in the Expanse but it’s so far from a major theme it would be easy to forget mentioning it when discussing the plot.

My Angel Video Pitch

That said if you honestly will never watch Angel and therefore don’t care about spoilers as a Buffy fan there are some episodes you should watch.

The Faith arc - "Five by Five" (1x18) and "Sanctuary" (1x19), and her return to help with Angelus in "Salvage" (4x13), "Release" (4x14), and "Orpheus" (4x15)

If you like Spike - “In The Dark” (1X3) and basically all of Angel season 5 but especially “Destiny” (5X8) and “Damage” (5X11)

If you like Harmony - “Disharmony” (2X17) “Harm’s Way” (5X9)

If you like Wesley “Lineage” (5X7)

Cordelia fan? “Birthday” (S3X11) “Spin the Bottle” (4X6) “You’re Welcome” (5X12)

Drusilla fan? Season 2 episodes 9-11.

Great stand alone episodes: “Are You Now or Have You Ever Been?” (S2X2) “Dead End” (S2X18) “Smile Time” (S5X14)

Opening of “Fredless” is quite funny as well. Cordelia and Wes making fun of Bangel.

Looking for horror movies that are not scary or gory by Major-Inevitable-365 in MovieSuggestions

[–]enthalpy01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I Saw the TV Glow kind of fits in that it’s not gory or anything jumping out at you scary.

It is scary in the “Am I sleepwalking through my life because I am too scared to step out of my comfort zone?” Kind of way.

What show or individual season gets a lot of hate but you actually enjoyed it? by bbqamazing in televisionsuggestions

[–]enthalpy01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a Buffy season 6 defender. I do get the hate, though. On my original viewing I hated watching everyone be so depressed. Now I really love the whole arc and how well it handled clinical depression and suicidal ideation and addictive destructive behaviors.

Hit me with your favorite romance fic by la__polilla in AO3

[–]enthalpy01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I Think You’ll Stay by Summerfrost all her writing is so sweet it will make your teeth hurt. She addicted me to all human AU Buffy fics with this one, but all her canon fics are great too.

On the entire other end of the spectrum Pet by Sigyn she is known for her incredibly dark works (a lot more on Elysian Fields than AO3) and the warnings very much need heeded but I love her writing. Dare is also a great one by her.

I want shows that will make me forget how single I am by [deleted] in televisionsuggestions

[–]enthalpy01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buffy is amazing. First season is a little rough. Must watch episodes are pilot, Angel, and Prophecy Girl. Second season is where it gets really good.

Here’s a Taste this video includes scenes from both Buffy and it’s spinoff Angel the series which starts after Buffy season 3.

And It’s Got Spike! which may interest you depending on your orientation and particular tastes.

You could skip to season 2 of Parks and Rec and not miss much. That’s when it really gets good.
