I've started watching Angel Season 4 at last (moved house and tv provider when it was first broadcast, and never quite caught up. The old house had S3 on terrestrial, the new house had S5 on satellite, and I'm an order freak).

It's quite fun; episodes 1-4 have had some nice moments with Cordelia not enjoying being in the fluffy place, and coming back with a lost memory. What's with that? Will we find out why this happened? Connor's quite challenging - he grows on me then is a git again. I enjoyed the Las Vegas episode, more so now I've been there - there's a lot of jokes I wouldn't have got. I can't remember - was there more to Lorne than fluffy campness? Or does he just use it as a giant, pink, diamante-studded impenetrable front so you can't tell how he's feeling? "Don't you worry your pretty little head about it, Buggle-Bunny. Oh hey, look at that three-headed demon!"

I put the disk back in its sleeve, and see there is a picture of Angel on it, looking a bit moody. I turn to the next disk - another picture. Hang on, isn't it the same one? No, it's printed higher up, and he's turned a bit more to the left. Disk 3 - ah, this is the same as Disk 1. Are they alternating the pictures? Oh, no it's not the same. And if I look Really Closely at sleeves 1-6 I can see that there are six different pictures of Angel, expressing a gamut of emotion.
We have The Many Moods of David Boreanaz:
* Mostly Paying Attention
* 10% Distracted
* Slightly Alert
* Trying To Look Interested But A Bit Bored Now
* Mildly Pensive
* Expressionless

And now I look, I see there are smaller photos on the back of each sleeve. At first glance they look different from each other, but are they the same as the ones on the sleeve fronts? Aie! It's too difficult, I shan't go there. Come back Roger Moore and your eyebrow acting, all is forgiven!

Just imagine the Torchwood box set. Each disc could have a moodily lit picture of John Barrowman's chin.

You wouldn't want too many of them in a row, you might confuse it for a bicycle rack.

I've poured scorn on your kind loan, but will wipe it off before I return it ;-)

I rather enjoyed S4 too: I gave up on S3 for the most part. No baby was a definite plus. Adolescent Connor, not too much of a negative.

When you've a face like Angel's, you don't need to act, do you? Motion might spoil it.

I like'm with less aging. By season four he was looking long in the tooth. Of course I always hated the broody one. Spike forever!

His acting improves tremendously in Bones. I think being dead must have been wearing him out.

Have you seen Season 5? I may have been about to make a spoilery comment.
