In some ways, we wanted to do an origin story for Sauron.
:palme-confusion:
“I hope after the last episode airs, viewers watch the whole season again
:warf-wtf:
“Season one opens with: Who is Galadriel? Where did she come from? What did she suffer? Why is she driven?” says Payne. “We’re doing the same thing with Sauron in season two. We’ll fill in all the missing pieces.”
:concerned-confusion:
“Sauron can now just be Sauron,” McKay adds. “Like Tony Soprano or Walter White. He’s evil, but complexly evil.
:wat:
Season two has a canonical story
:huey-wut:
Like how they spend way too long showing people suffering and in pain for no storytelling payoff.
Holy shit I forgot how awful Lost was. The entire plot of the show was basically just a never-ending series of Reddit writing prompts literally right up until the very end.
Say what you like about Whedon (and I’ll say many fucking things) but at least his characters had arcs and reasons to suffer. Season 2 of Angel is still amazing.
