Alias Angélus (#107)

Buffy se sent irrésistiblement attirée par le beau et mystérieux Angel, mais elle est obligée de prendre ses distances quand elle découvre sa vraie nature et son passé impie.

Malgrè son amour pour lui, et après un gros mal entendu, Buffy arbalète au poing est bien décidée à en finir avec lui...

Qu'avez-vous pensé de cet épisode?

ps: épisode très centré sur Angel, on y découvre sa vraie nature(on s'en doutait quand même un peu) une partie de son passé et nous faisons connaissance avec la "femme de sa vie"

La première fois que je l'ai vu, j'avais adoré. Quand je l'ai revisionné quelques années plus tard, j'avais trop hâte, et je dois avouer que j'ai été un peu déçue.

L'histoire d'Angel en elle-même est intéressante, mais B/A, j'accroche pas. Cette "attirance" sort de nulle part pour moi. Deux épisodes avant, Buffy ne pouvait pas supporter Angel, et la elle en est folle amoureuse? Moi j'y crois pas, mais bon ça reste un épisode qui se laisse regarder...

Moi j'ai jamais accroché à B/A même pas cinq minutes et comme tu dis en plus c'est carrément soudain ses sentiments en ébullition, je sais qu'Angel est séduisant mais de la a baisser sa garde et a etre folle de passion pour lui en 2 épisodes d'intervalle, c'était un peu rapide, même beaucoup...

Sinon connaitre un peu mieux Angel me plaisait déjà bien à l'époque donc cette partie, j'ai apprécié.

Attirance trop rapide,ça prend d'un seul coup a buffy et ça j'aimes pas trop rapide soudain alors que 2 mn plus tot ça n'èxistait pas..quand a la dècouverte du cotè vampirique d'angel,je trouve tout ce qui est flash bak bien mieux dans angel..bref bon èpisode mais que je n'ai pas adorè.

Bon episode si on regarde que la saison 1 ....
Mais episode parmi tant d'autres quand on connait la serie entiere .

Pas mal mais pas extraordinaire, je suis d'accord avec vous, le grand amour entre Buffy et Angel arrive bien brusquement. ET puis j'ai pas aimé Darla dans cette saison.

C'est vrai que l'épisode n'est pas extraordinaire et en plus c'est comme si les sentiments entre les deux tombaient soudainement du ciel...

comme vous, épisode à ne pas mettre dans les anales.
Angel est un personnage assez secondaire dans cette saison, il ne fait que de breves apparitions alors on a du mal à croire à son histoire d'amour avec buffy.
Et puis angel est âgé de plus de 200 ans, il en a vu des filles, on va pas me dire qu'il a eu le coup de foudre pour buffy aussi vite. Il ne la connait pas beaucoup et pour être honnéte, physiquement, il y a quand même mieux.
Le baiser est précipité et le reste pareil, elle accepte quand même très vite qu'il soit un vampire.
Darla est assez fade par rapport à ats.

Review de l'épisode:

Bouts que je préfère:

Citation :

The Master asks Colin what he would do, and Colin replies that he would "annihilate her." Oh come on! That's his big plan? Who elected this kid "Anointed One," anyway?

Citation :

Angel is there watching her from behind the stairs. She senses something and turns around, but he's disappeared. I was going to make a whole bunch of stalker jokes, but then I realized that since Angel's a 240-year-old vampire, he's probably not going to have the social skills necessary to relate to the typical California suburban teenager. Much like the RPG fans who would play his character in "Vampire: The Masquerade" or whatever.

Citation :

Buffy slams the door, catching one of the vampires' hands. Which is a little odd, since in later episodes we've seen that the threshold is like a physical barrier to uninvited vamps. He shouldn't have been able to reach around the door like that.

Citation :

She notices Angel's wound and goes to fetch a first-aid kit after telling Angel to take his shirt off. She heads into the kitchen with Angel following. He disrobes, and this marks the first of many many gratuitous "Angel is shirtless" scenes.

Citation :

Buffy introduces Angel as a first-year community-college student who has been helping her with her history homework. At this point, I've got to say that Angel looks at least 240 years younger here than he does now, but still couldn't pass for a freshman unless he repeated grades nine through twelve -- three times.

Citation :

Buffy promises to say goodnight to Angel and head upstairs herself. She pretends to show Angel out but instead sneaks him up to her room. Isn't she worried that her mother is going to check on her? Or did I just have an overly vigilant parent?

Citation :

Angel clumsily tries to change the subject by telling Buffy how pretty she looks in her pajamas. Buffy: "Well, when I wake up it's an entirely different story." Which might be, because she goes to bed with three pounds of makeup on her face.

Citation :

Then Buffy asks him what he did all day, and Angel replies that he was reading. Did he bring a book with him? I can't imagine that anything Buffy would have on her shelf would capture his interest, I picture Buffy as mired pretty deep in the V.C. Andrews oeuvre.

Citation :

Angel explains that Buffy's mom moved her diary while she was straightening her room and that Angel "watched from the closet." Heh. I'll bet you did, Angel.

Citation :

Buffy realizes that she just spilled all of her secrets as Angel explains that he can't be around her anymore. I start to rejoice at this point, but it's short-lived, because Angel admits that all he "can every think about is how badly [he] want[s] to kiss" Buffy.

Citation :

And then it happens. They kiss. I cry.

Citation :

Angel breaks off the kiss and backs away, hiding his face. Buffy wonders what's wrong, and Angel turns towards her with his game face on and growls. Buffy screams and Angel takes off through the window. Gosh -- I think there was probably a better way to handle that.

Citation :

Buffy then wonders why Angel has helped her out of so many scrapes and speculates that it might be part of the Master's plan. No, not his, but rather that of the great and powerful god Whedon, who has taken a personal interest in making your life a living hell (pardon the pun) for at least the next four years.

Citation :

You know, if Xander is so quick with the clever cover-up, you'd think that he'd have the sense to keep his trap shut in the first place.

Citation :

Angel enters his apartment and goes to turn on a really ugly lamp. You might think in his 240 years on earth he would have picked up something resembling taste, but apparently not.

Citation :

As she says this, she suddenly opens the window blinds, and as light streams into the room Angel jumps back, squinting into the light. This is his apartment -- didn't he know that window was there? Angel can be as dumb as a box of rocks sometimes.

Citation :

Angel protests that he's "not exactly one of you either," and while in 1997 we all puzzled over that statement, now we know it means that Angel is in possession of a pesky little soul.

Citation :

To Willow's question about when the Reconstruction began, Buffy tries to focus and replies, " Um, Reconstruction...uh, Reconstruction began after the...construction, which was...shoddy, so they had to reconstruct." How did this girl get into college again? Sometimes I get very confused by this show's mixed "Buffy is very bright/Buffy is an airhead" message.

Citation :

Shouldn't the mere news that a crush is a vampire automatically get the Slayer over him? Teen hormones are a bitch, I guess.

Citation :

After this witty and not-at-all confusing exchange, Angel is ready to rumble. With an accompaniment of super-cheesy Walker, Texas Ranger action music, he leaps onto the pool table and up into the second story of the club.

Citation :

I have to admit I don't understand Angel here at all. Is it David Boreanaz's terrible acting or just sloppy writing? A combination of both, perhaps. At first it seems he wants Buffy to kill him because he's miserable living as a vampire, which actually seems quite poignant, but then he dons his human face, making it hard for her to put him (and us) out his misery. Now he's all Braggy McBigpants about his awful past. Do you want her to dust you or not, stalker guy? I think a better actor would have presented Angelus's evil deeds with regret and self-loathing, but Boreanaz can only seem to muster up "snotty."

Citation :

How much does Darla know about the curse? It seems like anyone with half a brain would realize that Angel wouldn't be capable of returning to his demon ways until his soul is removed. Darla is acting like he can become a vicious killer by just applying a little willpower. Or maybe she thinks killing Buffy will remove the curse?

Citation :

She plugs Angel, who roundly deserves it for standing there this whole time like a petrified stump, and then continues after Buffy.

Citation :

The Annoying One reassures the Master than when he rises they'll "kill them all." Which is pretty much how my friends console me whenever I'm in a bad mood.

Citation :

All right, even though I've been watching this show for years and have suffered through the whole Angel/Buffy saga, I still find myself shocked at the age difference between these two and dismayed that the Slayer would stick her tongue down a vampire's throat. Guess if a guy kills his ex-girlfriend for you, you can forgive him just about anything. If you're sixteen and horny as hell, that is.

Citation :

The camera pans down from Angel's face and reveals the crucifix that he gave her earlier in the season has burned an impression into his chest. That's what he gets for prancing around with his shirt unbuttoned down to there.

Aaah (dit de manière péjorative ), les débuts du Bangel... Hum, bref, en toute objectivité, une approche du couple assez mouais... Disons que ça reste un peu trop mielleux à mon goût. On voit qu'elle est à fond sur lui au début, alors qu'elle ne sait vraiment pas grand chose de sa personne (même pas que c'est un vampire !) et j'avoue avoir un peu de mal avec ça. En tout cas, le charme n'agit vraiment pas sur moi... Et ce qui est sympa de constater, c'est qu'ils trouvent le moyen dès le départ de dire "Entre nous, ça ne peut pas marcher". Et c'est un mélodrame qui sera traîné sur 3 saisons, accrochons nous

J'ai bien aimé le trio de vampires. Ils avaient de la gueule pour des méchants, je les trouve classes ^^

Ah et il y a un peu de mieux du côté de Darla, par rapport aux premiers épisodes. Mais ça reste quand même très en dessous du niveau atteint dans ATS. J'aime bien la réaction du Maître lorsqu'il apprend sa mort... Ca laisse bien ressentir le 'lien' qu'il y avait.

Bon épisode il nous a permis d'en savoir un peu plus sur Angel et son passé et on a appris son secret car jusqu'ici on ne savait rien sur lui. C'est vrai que Buffy a vite accepté la part de démon qui est en lui. J'aime la scène où Darla se sert de ses flingues trop fort !!!
