Angel -What is the circumference of the head on David Boreanaz’s shoulders? Did anyone for a moment think that the pink helmet really would’ve fit on Angel’s head? Does Wes just date big-headed women? (hello, Illyria)
Hee. I attribute the helmet to magic Hollywood logic where everybody fits into everything. Have you ever seen "Working Girls" where tiny Melanie Griffith fits into the clothes of the Amazonian Sigourney Weaver without even changing a hemline? (That threw me right out of the movie. The helmet deal I never really though about because for the most part, they are one size fits all. But a fitted suit? And Angel's leather jacket should have been way bigger on Buffy.)
Does Wesley actually date? Aside from Virginia, I don't think he ever has.
-What other music/artists/songs do you think Angel likes (he says he likes ballads. Apparently cheesy ones, but I’m not so up on that genre)?
Classical music. Irish songs and ballads from back in the day. And utter cheese. If I hate it, Angel likes it. Celine Dion. Late period Barbra. Cher (shudders). Andrew Lloyd-Weber.
-I’ve heard Angel was only supposed to be in three episodes. What were they going to do with him? Did the writers know in the first episode that he was a vampire with a soul?
I've head that at the very, very beginning (like first couple of episodes), they weren't sure what he was. There was some talk of making him an actual angel, kind of a PTB deal. Thank goodness, they didn't. Originally Buffy/Xander were supposed to hook up (if you've ever seen the original pilot that sold the show, it's obvious that's where they were going), but the chemistry between SMG and DB was overwhelming. (They were so doing it.)
-Did David Boreanaz have a lot of acne when he was young? Or am I the only one who thinks she sees slight facial pock-mark-looking scars?
I think it was acne. In a story, it's cowpox scars! I'm not sure he has them anymore though. In la la land, it's pretty easy (and somewhat mandatory) to get all those pesky imperfections taken care of.
-What would Angel read? Only Sartre and existentialist philosophy? Who would be his favorite author? Does anyone vote for Dostoevsky?
I think he reads a lot of authors who deal with the nature of man (so, yeah, Dostoevsky) and philosophers, because he's trying to understand himself. But he also likes to read cheesy guy novels because he's a dork at heart.
-Would he read the Bible after he’d been re-ensouled (kinda hard, what with the burning hands, I guess)? What about other religious texts?
Yeah, probably. Even though I expect a lot of it is memorized. Plus spiritual texts from other religions. Part of it is obsessively seeing if there is any way for him to be forgiven.
