Weekly feature: Excerpt from original script

Remember this scene from Orpheus, when Faith's just woken up from the coma and rush to save Angel from Connor?(Season 4 of Angel, when Faith and Angelus go on a dream walk.)

Lorne's original line when seeing Faith was:

"She's alive! It's a miracle! Call ABC!"

According to The Casefiles vol 2, that is likely a reference to "the short-lived, though critically acclaimed series, Miracles, which Angel series cocreator David Greenwalt was working on at the time."

PS. As always when using screencaps, I get them from screencaps paradise.

Own any Buffy t-shirts? Wanna?

Here's a pretty cool one. "Trust me, I'm a vampire slayer" men t-shirt, in different sizes and colors (here's one for women)

Weekly feature: Excerpt from original script

From the episode Dead End in Angel, season 2(when Lindsey get's a "evil hand" and Angel and he finds out who it came from).

A scene with Cordelia, Wesley, and Gunn observing Angel after his night out with Lindsey for signs of reversion to the dark side was cut for length:

GUNN: How you doin'?

ANGEL: (so dark and grim) How am I doin'? How am I doin'? How's it look like I'm doin'?

(The three exchange a look: uh-oh.)

WESLEY: Angel... you need to get a grip on yourself.

ANGEL: No, I need to get a grip on...
(grabs Wes)
...you!

(I'm not saying Wes hollers exactly like a girl as Angel bursts out laughing.)

ANGEL: That was so great, the look on your faces.

CORDELIA: That's was not great. There was no greatness about that.
(She hits him with a book or something.)

ANGEL: What, I can't have any fun?

GUNN: Didn't fool me.

(Gunn slips the stake he had in his hand back under the reception desk.)

Fake preview *a bit spoiler-ish*

A fake preview for issue 35 of Season 8 has been spread, originating from a site that will remain nameless, because obviously they suck (it would have been awesome if they had saved it for the first of April tough). Some fans reacted to the style when shown the preview(which was advertised as real), since it's not Georges Jeanty's ordinary cartoony style, it looks more like a traced image of a screen cap from a certain scene in Chosen.

In case you know who Twilight is, or is ready for a major spoiler, it's fine to click on the link and see the well made fake.

And I here I almost decided on buying the original art for it. *sigh*

Weekly feature: What to buy

Like busts? I just discovered that this company, NT-Productions, make The Master and The Judge busts.

The Master

The Judge

They come unpainted, with bronze effect or painted.

Here's BUFFY2ANGEL4EVER's painted(I assume) version of The Master. I'm not sure if it's the lighting or not, but it does look a bit different than the promo pic on the website, but still good.

Weekly feature: Excerpt from original script

From the episode She (season 1 of Angel, when otherworthly women who came to Earth to escape slavery runs into Angel). Remember the guy (who's name supposedly is Mars, if I read The Casefiles correct) who greats princess Jheira at the hideout(I assume it's his house)? I think the following excerpt is from when Angel and he first meet.

Cut from the script for length was this instant diagnosis Mars offers Angel:

"When you're spiritually constipated? Gotta lose the black. Energy don't move through black. Try yellow, something with flow. Also, you need to spend a little time in the sun, bro."

This script excerpt was from The Casefiles, vol 1.
