Review |
The main thrust of this season is Connor, Angel and Darla's child. Everything gets very complicated This season is rather overshadowed by the stronger parallel Buffy season 6 (although there is essential no crossover). Angel's brooding is getting just a little irritating -- if he would just say, now and again, "look, I'm not evil anymore, I've got a soul now", it could potentially solve so many misunderstandings. (But it's better than his goo-goo infatuation with his son.) Despite this, there are some good points, and on the whole, it's a good arc -- in particular Darla's end is very well handled. (Just how many times has she died now? I'm beginning to lose count.) And it's certainly some end of season cliff-hanger... |
Rating: 3.5 |
