shapinglight: (season 8)
[personal profile] shapinglight
Yesterday, I read the latest issues of the Buffy and Angel comics. Have to say it was a bit of a strange experience, reading two such wildly different portrayals of Angel in one day. One of them, if a little idealised (not that much, though), was very recognisable to me as Angel of AtS seasons 1-4 (Angel of AtS season 5 is a bit different). The other seems to have fast-forwarded through his own life and skipped straight from Graduation Day Part 2 in BtVS season three to where he is now without passing go (except for a very brief halt in End of Days).

Then, I suddenly realised why they were so different. Of course! I told myself, how stupid of me not to think of it before. It's so obvious. Angel left Sunnydale at the end of BtVS season 3 and bumped into that Toth guy from The Replacement, who zapped him with his magic stick thing-y. There are in fact two of him. One of them went off to L.A. and grew up (or sort of), the other got locked away in a box somewhere, to be taken out during End of Days just to snog Buffy and sulk, and then be bundled away again until season 8. This one is obviously a gullible idiot wandering around like Fotherington-Thomas going, "Hullo clouds, hullo sky, hullo talking dog!" and not thinking anything of it when they answer back.

Well, it makes as much sense to me as anything else.
