Angel - "Dead End"
Nominated by: Mana


I waited 45 minutes for something to happen in this episode.

Nothing ever did.

Angel found me, much as with last list, completely nonplussed. The characters were dull, the dialogue leaden, and almost every scene felt like filler. Nothing of interest occurred, no one stood out, and at the end, I felt like I had my mind wiped of an hour because I could not remember a single thing that had happened in that episode.

The more you all put Joss Whedon material in front of me, the less I like it. And what's more, I have absolutely nothing to say! This was so intensely mediocre, I thought maybe I had switched channels to CBS and was being forced to suck down a crime procedural drama. THAT'S how uninteresting this show was. I tried SO hard to care. I really did. But these people have dialogue that's about as sharp as a spoon, and motivations that are about as clear as mud. The entirety of the episode is mired in the story of this unremarkable unhanded guy who has no real redeeming value other than being good looking. That also seems to apply to most of, if not all, of these characters.

Bleh.
