2024-12-10 00:48:48 +0000 UTCYour reaction to Spike showing up in Angel was everything. The look on your faces was priceless. It wasn't a surprise though back in the day. We unfortunately knew (even before the Buffy finale) that Spike would go over to Angel, so his appearance here AND his heoric death in Buffy was kinda ruined. It was the WB networks fault. They were in deep financial trouble at the time and was cancelling shows left and right, including Angel. But the idea from Whedon that they could bring over James Marsters made them advertise his arrival immediately.

2024-12-08 00:49:48 +0000 UTCPreach. The rapacious health insurance system entraps workers and sucks the soul right out of them. It’s Wolfram & Hart to a tee.

2024-12-07 20:06:26 +0000 UTC#SundayRundown #DCAMU If you guys just read about the Flash S1 or watched it you’d realize how petty & great Reverse Flash is like he is the best villain ever & he’s my fav DC villain next to Slade & Joker & Ra’s Al Ghul. He idolized Flash a lot in his future & wanted to be him so much he copied his powers, was getting ready to save people by causing accidents to fix them then one day he’s about to do the same scheme only for the real Flash to save the people he already planned on saving. He got so angry he decided to be the villain & try to find out Flash’s identity , travels back in time to kill him as a child so he never exists but kills the mom instead cause he’s pissed future Barry saved his child self.

2024-12-07 18:49:37 +0000 UTC@Ren Davis the dark comedy of it all was the primary motivation for putting up with that soul sucking environment for 15ish years was due to medical reasons. Medical insurance was the primary motivation for being in that job. If I were to seek other employment my medical insurance would have been significantly worse. Dealing with Crohn's disease and a total removal of my large intestine, the medical insurance stuff became a trap. That situation unfortunately is the tale of a lot of people in the US.

2024-12-07 18:24:21 +0000 UTCBSG: The callsign Crashdown that Sam Witwer's character has is showrunner Ronald D. Moore's nod to his previous show, Roswell, where the main hangout was the Crashdown Café and also the name of the main fan site online.

2024-12-07 18:04:21 +0000 UTC“…the futility of my existence in that office environment. There’s a harsh criticism of capitalism…” With all of the current events and major topics in the news cycles, Season 5 has aged like a super fine wine. It really hits you in such a bleakly optimistic way.
Ren Davis
2024-12-07 15:19:07 +0000 UTCI was knee deep in an office job with a cubicle when I watched season 5 of Angel. This season became my favorite season of the Buffyverse because it was the most relatable to me. That season hit hard on the futility of my existence in that office environment. There's a harsh criticism of capitalism while not beating the viewer over the head with the message. Season 5 of Angel is great.

2024-12-07 13:20:22 +0000 UTCHe truly is the pettiest, I'd argue the other one who can maybe contend with him in the DC comics is Black Manta, some fun fact events Manta pulled: - Constantly reminds aquaman that he killed his son, - Played all sorts of stuff to make aquaman feel bad such as playing the race card and making the crowd go against him or making Aquaman believe his autism is the reason he was evil - He even gave up being a villain and actually lived a normal life when he thought Aquaman was dead, but the second he heard Aquaman is alive, he straight up murders everyone in his vicinity and goes back to being Black Manta. Another person who is pretty petty is Lex: there is one story where he literally becomes a omnipotent being but the only catch is he can't use his powers to try and kill Superman....you can guess what he tried to do. Another fun mention but isn't from the DC Universe: Thanos. We all know about his infinity war reason in the comics was to impress Lady Death, but there's another story where he basically goes to this one random regular citizen named David on his birthday every year, and proceed to ruin his birthday every single time. He did miss one year because he was fighting the Avengers but makes sure to attend his next one. His reason for ruining this guy's birthday every year since birth? no reason, just cuz fuck THIS guy in particular.

2024-12-07 02:52:40 +0000 UTC#SundayRundown #DCAMU So, just how petty is the ‘Reverse Flash’ Eobard Thawne? Well, he… - [ ] Travelled back in time and murdered his younger brother after the former arrested him and to prevent him from being a distraction whilst he was studying the ‘Speed Force’ growing up. - [ ] Travelled back in time and murdered his parents after they tried to have The Flash Museum closed - [ ] Developed a crush and proceeded to murder anyone who showed any romantic interest in her - [ ] Shook said crush at super speed, crippling her and leaving her in a vegetative state for life after she showed no interest in him. - [ ] Travelled back in time and killed Barry Allen ‘The Flash’s Mom’ - [ ] Framed Barry Allen’s Dad for said murder. - [ ] Erased Barry Allen’s childhood friends from existence so Barry would always be lonely. - [ ] Pushed Barry down the stairs as a kid. - [ ] Moved Barry’s arm during a baseball game so that he wouldn’t catch the ball - [ ] Y’know when kids say there’s a monster under the bed? Well, in Barry Allen’s case, there actually was a monster under his bed - The Reverse Flash. - [ ] Made Barry lose his homework - [ ] Caused an Electrical Fire that burned down Barry Allen’s home and left the back door open so that his dog ran out on to the road and got hit by a car. - [ ] Told Barry that he planned to travel back in time and kill his mother again, only this time he would pretend to be a social worker so he could raise Barry himself. - [ ] Oh, and you know that really emotional moment at the end of ‘The Flashpoint Paradox’ where Bruce received a letter from his dead father? Yeah… Reverse Flash tore that sucker to pieces right before his very eyes. And to be clear, all the incidents with Barry as a kid weren’t with Reverse Flash as another kid, no no, this was a grown ass super villain travelling back in time to mess with a kid.

2024-12-06 20:58:17 +0000 UTCWhat happened to the Justice League video? I was watching it yesterday and then it was just removed. The one on Youtube.
Jon
2024-12-06 17:53:28 +0000 UTC#SUNDAYRUNDOWN DCAMU Now that you’ve met reverse flash I gotta ask, who is the pettiest villain you have seen? They all have a deep personal grudge that ranges from the jokers hate boner with Batman to lex spending millions on fake campaigns just to annoy Superman. But for a lot of people zoom is the ultimate hater, to where the jacking off clip sounds reasonably like something he’d do. He’s even made himself so integral to the flash’s story that if he’s removed flash doesn’t exist causing reverse flash to exist leading to a big ol paradox which seems to be super speed characters favorite word.
TrixieTurner
2024-12-06 17:48:17 +0000 UTC#SundayRundown So while the jerking off berry line is fake, the most petty thing reverse flash has done in actual comics......is grabbing berrys only friend in childhood, and just taking him out of the timestream, man is so petty he removed berrys only friend from existence so he was a lonely child

2024-12-06 17:14:02 +0000 UTCSo much good stuff in Angel Season 5 if you’re a leftist or left-leaning. It’s a very honest, yet inspirational critique on the crushing power of systems and our response to their impact. I appreciate Season 5 more now than I did as a teenager who knew a lot less about the world 😂
Ren Davis
2024-12-06 17:12:15 +0000 UTCYes, I remember I was furious that I knew that James Marsters was going over to Angel BEFORE the Buffy finale.

2024-12-06 12:36:20 +0000 UTC#DCAMU #SundayRundown To answer your question about how Amazons breed (This is based off the comics) they would seduce and/or SA men and then murder them. Also while the girls babies were kept and raised as Amazons in some depictions the boy babies were given away or killed.

2024-12-06 09:49:31 +0000 UTC"Hope that synthetic pussy is worth it" fucking killed me! XD In this episode CDR Adama gave the one line that has really stayed with me most of my career on why we seperate the military and the police. To paraphrase one fights the enemies of the state, and one defends the people. When the military becomes the police the people tend to become the enemy. A sentimet I think has become all too relavent in recent history. On a lesser note as a detail for the detonator on Boomer's chair, the first time she pressed it she armed it (disengaged the safety) likely as part of her programing to maintain cover). Second time she disarmed it (after resisting her programming), but also could have detonated it from there.

2024-12-06 08:58:49 +0000 UTCHe really hasn't missed as a show runner. I was excited to learn he took over as show runner for the upcoming God of War series that's going to be on Amazon.

BradBoimler
2024-12-06 07:31:49 +0000 UTCBSG is Ronald D Moore baby all things he couldn't do on startrek
BradBoimler
2024-12-06 07:30:55 +0000 UTCThe ethical premise of this season is incredibly constructed. There's even marxist analysis on it. As a leftist, it makes watching this season even more fun. Wish Mickey and Chris would binge Angel and join in with you guys.
Alexis Cardarella
2024-12-06 06:49:33 +0000 UTCSuraj, I remember you mentioning on Sunday rundown the other week how the following few episodes of Angel disappointed you a bit, compared to how great this premiere was. Hope you're at the point past the fillerish episodes to realize the rest of the season is definitely on par (and even better in ways) with this episode.
Alexis Cardarella
2024-12-06 06:47:05 +0000 UTCYeah, they advertised his return big time too leading up to the premiere. It help ramp up viewership too, that's for sure.
Alexis Cardarella
2024-12-06 06:41:04 +0000 UTCBSG - You guys have watched too many vampire shows lately. Why do you think that people can be turned into Cylons? Nothing of the sort has even been hinted at.
Zach Hershman
2024-12-06 04:59:46 +0000 UTC#sundayrundown One of the greats flash story’s. It’s an iconic story that is always use to reboot the world. Also reverse flash is in my top 3 dc villains with the joker. Who’s in your guys top 3 dc villains.
Sonicluis
2024-12-06 03:12:40 +0000 UTCThe craziest reveal in "Justice League: Flashpoint Paradox" is Martha Wayne becoming the Joker. I would love to see more of that alternate reality.

2024-12-06 00:20:17 +0000 UTC#Angel What happened was that Angel was up for renewal for S5 but the network left it late to decide. In the end they renewed it but adding James Marsters to the cast was one of the things that clinched it. Funny thing was they had already shot his death on Buffy. And this was all out in the open in news etc so we, the fans knew as we watched his noble sacrifice on Buffy that he was coming back somehow :) Also why there was no attempt to hide his presence but they put him right in the opening credits from the start. Also the Dixie Chicks poster was Joss Whedon showing them support as they were getting backlash over their comments against George W Bush and the Iraq war. This is a strong opener to a strong season. Without Buffy or Firefly to split his efforts Whedon was able to devote more time to Angel and in this one, written and directed by him, it really shows.
Paul Mason
2024-12-05 23:41:30 +0000 UTCBSG - If this was clarified during the discussion I missed it - Boomer was all wet at the beginning because her sleeper agent self dove into the water tank to set the explosives. Then her regular persona "woke up" soaking wet alongside explosives and was trying to figure out what was going on. Once the water tanks blow it reveals the full horror of what she must have done. No connection to her double on the ground running around in the rain, although I can understand thinking there's a link!

2024-12-05 22:27:11 +0000 UTCWhat a great premiere of Angel, it's such a breath of fresh air, the law firm set is really fancy. Tho sad to see the Hyperion go. Love Harmony join the group. Mercedes McNab has such an underrated comedic timing. Spike couldnt have come back with a cheaper plot device (the amulet is a Pokeball??) but we dont care. HE IS SO BACK
Chris K.
2024-12-05 21:29:43 +0000 UTC#SundayRundown #Angel: It was announced before season 5 that James Marsters(spike) would be joining the show. Him joining was one of the main reasons the show got a season 5 renewal. That is why he was in the opening credits right from the start. Love the reaction to his reveal!
Joe Traupman
2024-12-05 21:29:02 +0000 UTCRana pointed out the worst aspect of BSG. They show scenes from the episode after the opening title sequence. Why Ronald D. Moore... WHY!? When the series originally aired, I trained myself not to watch the opening credits. Always looked away or covered my eyes.
Chaos T
2024-12-05 21:14:54 +0000 UTC#SundayRundown: Flashpoint Glad to see y’all in finally starting the DCAMU and what a way to begin. It was fun seeing Suraj & Navi being in full casual/normie mode and being exposed to one of the big DC storylines! It was fun seeing you guys use your YJ knowledge and being aware of certain characters and things while watching as well. I knew y’all would get hype to see Kaldur/Aqualad lol. Fun fact; his appearance is exclusively based off his appearance & popularity from Young Justice as, up until that point, he was created for the show.
Zee
2024-12-05 20:43:53 +0000 UTC#SundayRundown Nathan Fillion pretty much always voices Hal Jordan in animation, and he’s set to play Guy Gardener in James Gunn’s Superman.
Mzuka
2024-12-05 20:37:00 +0000 UTC#SundayRundown Battlestar Galactica During the briefing Colonel Tigh says water is incredibly rare in space. That's not true in real life. Water is plentiful throughout the galaxy, there's ice comets, ice asteroids, planets with oceans under ice, moons with frozen ice. Ice is super easy to find in space. Super easy, barely an inconvenience. But that would remove the drama of finding water/ice and make the stakes for the episode pretty low. Also Helo on Caprica has no reason to be suspicious of Boomer. He doesn't know human Cylons are a thing. So he saw a hot blonde lady (Number 6) hanging out with the Cylon robots, he would probably just think that the hot blonde lady is a traitor to humanity, like a human collaborator.

2024-12-05 20:25:35 +0000 UTCwould've been fun ah well, it still is Angel s5 is a banger

2024-12-05 19:01:38 +0000 UTCI really wished we saw the world with Gwen as a series regular. Would love to see the Gunn dynamic continue with Gwen as a regular and Gwen could have some experience with the players that Wolfram & Hart deals with due to her jobs.
Ren Davis
2024-12-05 18:55:34 +0000 UTCUncuts then edited versions are always the way to go 🥳 To borrow a line from Young Justice, you get all the mores you could want 😁
Ren Davis
2024-12-05 18:53:09 +0000 UTCAngel# fun fact: "electra" aka gwen raiden (raiden as in mortal kombat god of lightning lol) anyway was going to be a series regular in seaosn 5 but she got a role in riddick and left for that.

2024-12-05 18:45:37 +0000 UTCand yes it was 'The Chicks' on fred's poster
Brendan Masker
2024-12-05 18:40:15 +0000 UTCfun facts : Sycophants are basically suck ups, followers, teacher's pets. So how harmony was cordies lackey and the guy playing fries as you pointed out is in everythng and always a ***hole and he was in Here's Negan as a gang leader.

2024-12-05 18:23:03 +0000 UTCsame I had a whole plan, first bsg uncut, then flashpoint yt, then angel uncut, ah well, uncut for all it is

2024-12-05 18:19:50 +0000 UTCHell yeah
Johnny Blue
2024-12-05 18:19:11 +0000 UTCAh fuck it, I'll just watch the uncut

2024-12-05 18:17:13 +0000 UTCDamn it! I prioritized something else and now Flashpoint is gone!
Jon Mercano
2024-12-05 18:14:34 +0000 UTCI've rewatched Angel S5 by itself multiple times. It's such a flex and upgrade in every aspect. They really did it so wonderfully.

2024-12-05 18:12:06 +0000 UTCoh damn flashpoint is down

2024-12-05 18:09:40 +0000 UTCProbably got a copyright strike
JoeCrazy
2024-12-05 18:05:12 +0000 UTCMan I haven't kept up with the Angel reacts because I'd hoped they would've done regular reactions because full reacts is a big time investment for me but while I did love Buffy and began with it pretty sure even back then Angel was my favorite character and then he got his own show and for me I like it better than Buffy so I'm so tempted id forgotten how much I loved this show but that intro hit so hard and Suraj is right I'm sure about the last shot always being the same

samuel ademulure
2024-12-05 18:00:59 +0000 UTC#SundayRundown (Angel) Not so fun fact: Alexis Denisof actually had Bell’s Palsy before filming the Season 5 premiere. It paralyzed the left side of his face, so they opted to shoot a lot of scenes from his right and hide his left side so you couldn’t see the effects. On to the episode, this was a great start to the Wolfram & Hart version of the show. The cast being in the belly of the beast allows the show to hone in on its core philosophy. The scene between Angel and Hauser at the end about the power of conviction was so good. Especially ending the encounter with Angel killing Hauser by kicking his shotgun up toward Hauser’s head. It was artistic murder, “murdart” if you will. It was a thing of beauty 🥹
Ren Davis
2024-12-05 18:00:29 +0000 UTCWas right in the middle of that Flashpoint reaction when it stopped

Acesoldia
2024-12-05 17:59:36 +0000 UTCRana I love reading and it took many years before I finally understood but now I take Commander Adamas words to heart. If you are giving someone a book to read, a book that you love, never lend it, just give it to them. Its a really great little rule in life, if you love a story and you are giving it to someone to read, give it to them. By lending it you are giving them a timetable, "enjoy this or give it back", how can someone relax and enjoy a story like that? of course giving away your treasures isn't easy but if you think its worth it if you think this person will truely enjoy the experience then you give it away.
