This is both my favorite and least favorite of the seasons on ANGEL.
I bought it separately because I knew and LOVED that Spike was 'back' and making sure everyone knows it. He gave it that much needed class and twisted humor that Angel never quite mastered. The interplay between the them as the 'two vampires with a soul', trying to figure out which is REALLY 'The Champion', not just 'A' champion, was great.
Yet a lot of the episodes have lost a bit of their otherworldliness and they felt a bit too much like the everyday evil we already face, where the good guys can and do lose... (And I could watch the news for that.)
However, they did manage to sneak in a few of the old 'cute' type episodes, especially when Harmony finally got one almost all to herself. It could have been waaay to 'campy' but it actually worked well. Too bad that character finally nailed it as the series went the way of a staked vamp.
And the episode with Cordelia (#100) is a must see.
Even with all the extra darkness of a show that was counting down to cancellation, though, at the end (at least of the series), there still was a glimmer of hope for a few of the characters (and possibly an opening for at least a spin-off movie or two?? Oh, please, oh please!)
