Giles.

3. *points to icon*
2. Band Candy. Ripper is so sexy and yet has that slight dorky edge to him that makes you think he could be Giles, our Giles, in the future. Trying just that bit too hard when he's cool already, you know?
1. The whole of Passion, he killed me in Passion. That episode nearly made me cry and remains one of my favourites.

I seem to like dark!Giles. Who knew?

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Speaking of dark!Giles, honorable mention to when he killed Ben.

Oh, and on the phone in Teacher's Pet:
'Yes, you were right about everything. Well, no, you weren't right about your mother being a Pekingese.'

So the impression I'm getting is that Giles is love.

Also, the killing Ben scene was actually the scene I was thinking of when I brought him up. Because that was hands down my favorite thing that happened in seasons five.

And so very seconded on Passion, because it's such a good episode, but it's one of those ones that I can't actually watch very often because it hurts so much.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he really is.

The killing Ben scene came really, really close to making it, but I do prefer the earlier seasons. And I still laugh just seeing Giles in the hat.

Passion was also one of the only times I was really, truly *impressed* with David Boreanaz. The whole episode was moving and scary and so very true, I think.

[poor-choices.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can't argue with the early season bias. Mmm early seasons.

...David Boreanaz's betterness in that episode aside, I still can't stand his voiceovers in it. The man just should not do voiceovers. Ever. But he was a lot better at emoting when he was evil.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

I actually quite like the later seasons, more than it seems most fans do, but they'll never quite compare to the brilliance of the original concept and how it played out in those first three excellent seasons.

Oh no, agree, but then most people suck at voiceovers.

I think, to be honest, that it was more Angel's character than Boreanaz's acting skills that needed some work. He was just...boring. When Boreanaz is given something interesting to do he tends to do a lot better.

They're just too uniformly depressing for me, I think. Depressing stuff happened in the first three seasons, but it seemed to be much better weighed out with fun.

Even Veronica Mars!

You mean the way he had no real character beyond "I am old. And emo. And I used to kill people. Hi Buffy let's gaze longingly at each other"?

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I think a lot of the depressing feeling is more that rather than ending on high notes most episodes ended on low notes. Although, yeah, lots of depressing stuff happened. Happy just isn't interesting enough for Joss. *g*

Yeah, but her voiceovers are funny.

Partly that. Also that most of his 'funny' moments on Angel weren't so funny and he never actually developed as a character until season 5 of his own show when he had Spike making him question his own righteousness. He was much more interesting then.

In fact, Angel was always more interesting in scenes with Spike.
