Big Damn Heroes

Big Damn Heroes has reached episode 68, and the end of the line for Angel. Will and Hannah ponder how the house is put in order for the series finale, and just how well the finale manages to bring the show full circle, along with how season five as a whole has done. Join them as they charge into "Power Play" and "Not Fade Away."

It's Big Damn Heroes 67, and we're almost at the end of Angel! Things are starting to get a bit messy. Wesley is juggling the idiot ball; plot lines are desperately trying to be wrapped up; and we have some torture, a wild Adam Baldwin, exploding gods, and recovered memories. You know, the standard. But even an interesting subplot can't save what is one of the most offensive, idiotic, poorly planned episodes this season. Wanna know which one it is? Join Hannah and Will as they cover Angel's "Underneath," "Origin," "Time Bomb," and "The Girl in Question."

Welcome to Big Damn Heroes 66, and man, if this series of episodes isn't the devil itself. We start out with a fairly shit World War II episode, but let's be real, that's not what you came for. You came for Muppet Angel, demonic puppets, self esteem, Wes and Fred, Amy Acker being goddamn amazing, and the most goddamn depressing trio of episodes ever. Join Will and Hannah as they jump off a cliff as a result of "What We Fight For," "Smile Time," "Hole in the World," and "Shells."

Gather around for Big Damn Heroes 65, children, because the gang is back together, if only for one heart-wrenching episode! Whose character-centric episode did Will and Hannah not expect to like as much as they did? How blatant is Eve about being evil? What major plot point from Buffy turns out to have been maybe a really shitty idea? And how fucking much are we gonna miss Cordy? Tune in as we cover Angel's "Harm's Way," "Soul Purpose," "Damage," and "You're Welcome."

We continue to blast right through Angel on Big Damn Heroes! How much of our episode is spent discussing the sex lives of one of our main characters? How disappointed is Will with one of the episodes? Whose character-centric episode could we not give a shit about? And which favorite old face unexpectedly shows up at the end of an episode? Join us as we cover "Life of the Party," "The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco," "Lineage," and "Destiny."

It's all Angel all the time now on Big Damn Heroes! Will and Hannah kick off the fifth season of Angel this episode, and there's a few things they notice right away. Like how much darker Angel appears to be getting. And that the show has written a major loophole into one of its character's powers. And that we have Spike again? Join The Heroes for "Conviction," "Just Rewards," "Unleashed," and "Hell Bound." Oh, and lots of lawyer puns.

This is the end, kids. Episode 62 is dedicated to Will and Hannah looking back on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Their favorites, the best, and the worst are covered as they give the show a fond yet critical examination before moving on. (As a bonus, there's coverage of Fray.)

Well, kids, here we are. It took 61 episodes of Big Damn Heroes and 144 episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but we've reached the end of the line for Buffy and the Scoobies. Which characters play an awesome game of D&D? What about the final episode doesn't quite make sense, but is still utterly fantastic? And how many callbacks to the very first episode can we fit in? Join Will and Hannah as they blow up the last of Buffy with "End of Days" and "Chosen."

Welcome to episode 60 of Big Damn Heroes, and the beginning of the final countdown! Buffy is down to two of its four final episodes, and they're certainly filled with plot twists, cameos, and lots of the sexing. Meanwhile, Angel tries to pull a "Restless" for its season ending, and kind of fails spectacularly. Join Hannah and Will as they cover "Empty Places" and "Touched" on Buffy, and "Home" on Angel.

For Big Damn Heroes' 59th episode, it's all Angel all the time! Or rather, all Jasmine all the time! The crux of season four has come into play, and we get to watch Fred be a regular ol' badass, Gina Torres be interesting, and Connor continue to be an awful little fuck. Listen to Will and Hannah talk about what has to be one of the best runs of episodes that Angel has had in a while, and how the season still seems to be unable to use its resources properly. Join the duo as they cover "Shiny Happy People," "The Magic Bullet," "Sacrifice," and "Peace Out."
