The Goddamn Angel

Let's face it, Angel wants to be Batman. He's got the Angel cave, the Angel-mobile, and a grappling hook. He's got the little stake-extender-bracer things and a whole slew of weapons for taking out demons and all sorts of undead. Hell, he's even improved on the formula by ditching the old man and getting a hot lady-type as his help around the cave. Also Doyle's visions are a slightly more direct way of locating those in need rather than just a light in the sky and patrolling and hoping for the best.

I like Angel, in fact I like both the character and the show a lot. Angel the character has come a good way since his first appearance on Buffy as "attractive brooding man," and Angel the show give him a place to be badass in his own right as he could never upstage Buffy on her own show.

...he is still attractive brooding man, with his own TV show. Awesome.
