Trivia

In the DVD extras, production designer Stuart Blatt describes how Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt wanted "a very real feel" to the Hyperion Hotel in the sets. The suite which Angel uses as his own apartment, the "Honeymoon Suite of the Hotel," had many other uses. It was also Cordelia's apartment when she told Connor that they were going to have a baby. It was also Fred's room, for the few times that we see her with Gunn in a bedroom. Because the crew could repaint and move the walls around, that set was the scene when Angel saved baby Connor from a fire; and later, it became Jasmine's suite. Blatt describes Jasmine's as "the mother of all suites ... part Oprah Winfrey, part Liberace, all decorated by Lorne." See more »

Will Not Fade Away
12 January 2005 | by (Toronto) – See all my reviews

Angel is a show that is going to live forever because it never gave in and changed itself around in order to be more friendly for the masses. I have no intention of giving each season or episode a number evaluation as I feel the entire body of the show is whats important. Well thought out story arcs were the norm in this amazingly diverse world inhabited by the most fleshed out characters on any TV show. A perfect example of this is the character Wesley who started as the comedic sidekick and slowly, over the seasons, transformed into a certifiable bad-ass without ever coming across as forced. Angel never treated the view like an idiot, never wrapped everything up in a nice little package after every show only to forget about the previous events in the next episode. Angel also never got stale, in part because it was cancelled in its prime by the WB for no solid reason as it was one of the highest rated shows on the network. Every season seemed to get a little better with the fifth, and final, season being the best, in my humble opinion. The show has become like an old friend to me which I can visit from time to time to remember what TV should strive to be like and to see an example of great story telling. In a time when TV is turning into a wasteland of trends and shows that do nothing but recycle, Angel was a bright spot which has sadly gone out. Buy the DVDs and let the show live forever as most of what else is on TV is already dead.
