Doyle: Angel’s quotable demon
All-in-all, Angel was a good series, even though it kept reinventing itself each season. The set changes (Angel’s original digs, the hotel, Wolfram and Hart), the cast changes, and the character changes (Fred to Ilyria) threw off my equilibrium, sometimes leaving me longing for the security of the previous season.
One of the hardest changes for me to take was the death of Doyle, who added so much heart and humor to season one. Even sadder was that the actor who played Doyle, Glenn Quinn, went on to die a tragic death in 2002.
Although I am still wondering why “The Powers That Be” of Angel decided to eliminate Doyle’s character (yeah, yeah, so Cordelia could have his visions), I can still celebrate him. Like Buffy’s Oz, he was extremely quotable.
How about that creepy episode (’I Fall to Pieces’) where the neurosurgeon could detach pieces of his body to stalk women? Doyle’s take on that was priceless: “Not a lot of things make me shudder. But this guy? Crawling around under the covers? At least it was just his hands down there…. I wish I hadn’t even thought that.”
Revisit some of Doyle’s greatest quotes. Did your favorite make the list?
Oz: Sometimes furry, always quotable
The greatness of the Scooby Gang on Buffy the Vampire Slayer was enhanced by the addition of Oz (Daniel Osbourne) in seasons two, three, and four. Sometimes a werewolf, mostly Willow’s boyfriend, he added a new level of comedic relief to Buffy.
It wasn’t the situations he was in, nor did he take the pratfall route. Oz was dry — dry like a desert, dry like overcooked Thanksgiving turkey, dry like a leather shoe left out in the sun for several thousand years. Master of the understatement, man of few words, sarcasm blended with wit.
Arguably, Oz was the most quotable character on Buffy. For instance, when he found out vampires were real, he simply stated, “That explains a lot!” Another of my favorite Oz quotes was from season four, when Buffy was complaining about her college roommate and punching the air. Oz posits, “No one deserves mime, Buffy.”
Revisit some of Oz’s best quotable moments from each season he appears in and enjoy a giggle or two remembering the werewolf with a sense of humor.
