The first casting sides are doing the rounds for ep 10, and again it is very Spikey ;D And very wacky ;D And this is the ep that David B is directing, apparently, so expect it to be Angel-lite in appearance, but I reckon it will be All.About.Angel when it comes down to it.  What's this?! Spike is rescuing a damsel in distress (very much as Angel has be wont to do....), being chased by a vamp. Spike dusts him and tells the laydee off for being out alone in such a place, saying is she stupid or what?! He's at the rescuing lark again when a couple are cowering against some crates as vamps crash about. Spike is fighting two and makes an Angel move of double staking them (and those who have been deeply embedded in re-runs of late will recognise this from the first ever ep). The couple ask who he is and Spike looks broody... like anyone we know?! ;D Then tells them and gets friendly, shaking hands, asking where they were going etc. Seems to want to join them for dinner, lol! Now it gets truly trippy so you better sit down.... Green fields, hills, castle in the distance. The Fang Gang are all there, with Spike. Spike says it's beautiful, Gunn agrees and says it's time for Spike's reward. Spike says he didn't do this for a reward, and Gunn explains that's why he's getting one...... Okay, here we go.... Dim the lights, bring on the Blue Fairy! The purdy fairy moves to Spike. Wes says that anyone who saves the universe from eternal bloodshed and misery deserves to get what he always wanted. And Fred adds "To be a real boy" (which is a phrase that has been popping up for quite some time now, since OMWF). The fairy taps Spike's head with her magic wand ( kid you not) and pixie dust swirls around him. He presses his hand to his chest, looking thrilled, as if his wish has indeed come true. ;D Pinnoccio and a wild night for the writer!! What do you think? Is this Spike dreaming? Or is this Angel's worst fears? Sounds like a proper hoot at any rate! |

This is what Herc says: www.aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=16384ANGEL 5.10 Tidbits!!
I am – Hercules!!
Pages from “Angel” 5.10 - the follow up to the episodes centered around the firm’s Halloween party (5.5), ex-wrestler mailroom clerk Numero Cinco (5.6), Wes’ watcher dad (5.7), the crazed Wolfram employees (5.8), and Harmony Kendall (5.9) - began circulating to the casting agents on Monday. Here’s what little we gather:
* Spike will seem to be following in Angel’s footsteps somehow, re-enacting Angel-ic rescues, including one involving evil vampires we might remember from 1.1.
* With minimal effort, Spike will rescue a cute twentysomething named Lana from another vampire, then mock her stupidity.
* The Blue Fairy from Pinnocchio will somehow appear to Spike and the rest of Team Angel (sans Angel himself), and offer to reward Spike’s good deeds by transforming the gleeful blonde vampire “into a real boy.”

Ooooh, there are folks saying that Vincent K was on set for ep 10 filming... but are they filming already?! Sides only went out this week... Anyway, assuming they are correct, does this lend weight to at least one of the scenes we have so far being a dream/nghtmare scenario?

Unsubstantiated at the moment, and not in any context, word is that Spike is in a strip joint at the beginning of the ep.... oh come on girls, please! He's a customer, not a performer! Given the nature of the episode it could be "real" or it could be part of Angel's brain scramble....

Lol, I assume not as we haven't had any casting sides for such a prime role! ;D I'll be back with source and details if anything else is forthcoming... uh, yeah! ;D Um, okay... again unsubstantiated but the next rumour is that when Angel is hallucinating he sees Spike and Buffy having sex on the couch in his room.... I guess we could just see longish blonde hair and no face... whatever. This would actually fit in with the theme of the ep, but who knows?!  |

Here is Mythical Board's summary of the ep. Episode 10
While Spike is talked into taking up the good-deeds business, Eve looses a soul-sucking parasite on Angel, who then suffers disturbing, feverish hallucinations as he sleeps.
As he did a few weeks ago, Angel watches Spike drink from the Cup of Perpetual Torment. This time the cup is real, and Spike is bathed in heavenly light while Angel’s face begins to melt off. Meanwhile, at a strip bar, Spike is approached by a man named Sean, who has several rune-like tattoos, and who seems to know everything about Spike. Sean asks Spike if he received any interesting mail lately, and Spike realizes Sean must be the one who brought his spirit back from the Hellmouth and sent him the package that made him corporeal again. Back at Wolfram and Hart, Wesley and Gunn consult Angel about an evil warlock they want to go after, but Angel says he’s tired of such problems. At the bar Sean explains that he’s been having searing visions of people in trouble who need a champion, but Spike says that’s Angel’s business. Sean says, however, that Angel has sold out to Wolfram and Hart, so someone new needs to take over his good deeds. Spike is reluctant, but Sean says he just had a vision… and a few moments later Spike is in an alley saving a cute young woman from a nasty vampire. After Spike dusts the vampire and the woman leaves, Sean congratulates him and says he’s looking forward to next time. Spike says there won’t be a next time, but then Sean compares him to Angel, which gets Spike’s attention. Meanwhile, as Gunn, Wes, and Fred argue about how to deter various evil-doers, Angel says they should just kill them all. Gunn asks if he’s feeling all right, and when Angel says he’s tired, Wesley escorts Angel back to his suite. As Wes helps Angel into bed, he pulls out a stake and drives it through Angel’s heart… and then Angel wakes up, realizes it was just a nightmare, and crashes back into bed.
A bit later Spike thwarts another vampire attack, and Sean says the odd feeling he has is valor. Spike is still skeptical, but can’t help being intrigued. Back at Wolfram and Hart, Eve delivers a rune-covered stone to Wes and asks him to figure out what it is as soon as possible. Harmony says Wesley should tell Angel about the relic, but Wes says they should let Angel rest. Meanwhile Fred goes to Angel’s suite, and he’s suddenly transported to her lab, where she slices him open, pulls out all his organs, then shouts an echoing “hello” into his bottomless body cavity to prove how empty he is. Then we see that it’s just another nightmare, as Angel tosses and turns in his bed. A bit later, as Wes and Harmony inspect the relic, Gunn brings them a newspaper account of a vampire-killing vigilante… whom they recognize as Spike. Meanwhile Sean takes Spike to a basement apartment, which he says is Spike’s new home. About the same time, Angel wakes up and sees Spike and Buffy making love on a couch across the room. Then Angel wakes from this dream too, shakes it off, gets dressed, and goes downstairs. When Angel gets to his office, however, it’s set up like a movie theater, and Wes, Gunn, Fred, Loren, and Harmony sit eating popcorn while Armageddon plays out outside a large picture window. Angel is shocked and says he must go out to help people, but Wes says Spike is handling it. Then, when Angel looks down at his shirt, there’s a large maroon stain spreading on it. Then we see Angel, really still in bed and still dreaming, with a large maroon parasite sucking at his chest.
A bit later Angel’s friends throw a party for Spike, who has single-handedly ended Armageddon and turned the world into a beautiful, happy place. As the Blue Fairy grants Spike’s wish to be a real boy again, Angel, dressed in a button-down shirt and clip-on tie, wheels a mail cart away… while the real Angel is still in bed, with the parasite still sucking at his chest. A bit later Wesley and Gunn find Spike at his new apartment, wave the newspaper story, and declare that if Spike wants to do good, he should come work with them at Wolfram and Hart. Spike realizes this invitation couldn’t be coming from Angel, so he turns them down. Meanwhile Eve and Sean cavort seductively in her bed, and we learn that it was Eve’s plan all along to distract Spike while they finish some other “project.” Then, finally, Eve asks if Sean is going to give her what she wants, and he hands her a small, rune-covered box. About the same time Wes and Gun return to Wolfram and Hart and tell Fred they had no luck luring Spike back. Fred suggests they consult Angel, and then they all realize that none of them have seen Angel today. Fred alerts Harmony, who tries to call Angel on the phone. As it rings in his room, he hears a piano playing and finds Lorne there, tickling the ivories. Downstairs Fred decides to go check on Angel, but runs into Eve, who asks how the rune deciphering is going. Back upstairs Angel asks Lorne to read his aura, but when Angel tries to sing, nothing comes out. Finally he looks down and sees the parasite on his shirt, and as he tries to rip it off, he wakes for real with his hands around the creature on his chest. Finally Angel squeezes the parasite to death, but then Eve pulls an even bigger parasite out of a box.
As the parasite crawls up Angel’s body, Eve leaves. Just before the parasite can latch on to Angel, he throws it off and falls out of bed. The parasite waits to strike again. Meanwhile Sean returns to Spike’s apartment, where he has a painful vision that he says will interest Spike. Back in Angel’s suite, Angel reaches for his phone, but as he dials, the parasite latches onto him. As it digs its fangs in, Angel finds himself in the middle of a sunny field. His friends approach and say he can stay as long as he wants… if he just stops caring. Just as Angel starts to look convinced, the others start to scream. At that moment in the real world, Spike pulls the parasite off Angel’s chest and splatters it against a wall. A bit later Fred gives Angel a cup of blood to revive him, and he recounts the horrible hallucinations he suffered when the parasite was on him. Wes explains that the parasite toxin would have left Angel in a permanent vegetative state if Spike hadn’t intervened when he did. Angel asks where the parasite came from, but then he remembers that Eve brought it. She says that was just another hallucination, but Angel disagrees and then, after wondering why the Senior Partners would try to kill him after so recently recruiting him, he realizes Eve must have been acting on her own. Angel says the Senior Partners won’t be happy to hear that, and that she just made herself expendable. Then she asks if he’s sure about that, warns him to look a few more moves ahead, and walks out.

Trippy, huh?! I think I like it... and I am sure I like Spike being in it so much and saving Brood Boy at the end. And Go Eve! ;D There are rumours that Sean is Christian Kane, but again, unsubstantiated.... but there were no casting sides for the Sean character, so.... someone we know, huh?!

If all the Sean scenes were part of Angel's hallucinations then they could get away with it, I think. Angel's brain could be scrambling Whistler and Doyle, but throwing in Lindsey as the embodiment of them coz he's bonkers. But I don't think Sean IS just a figment, is he?! I'll see if I can find out some more.

Okay, I've found out some more. According to as guest actor for that ep, it is def Christian doing his Sean thang. but it is likely that he just says to Spike "Call me Sean" because Spike wouldn't know the difference - hasn't met him, has he... But Angel watchers of old sure would... Here's a link to where the guy is posting - www.buffistas.org/showthread.php?thread_id=6&post_id=9398 |

Boreanaz Goes Behind Camera on 'Angel'
(Friday, December 05 02:04 PM)
By Rick Porter
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - "Angel" star David Boreanaz will pull double duty on a January episode of the series.
In addition to his usual leading role as the vampire-with-a-soul title character, Boreanaz also makes his directorial debut with the episode, titled "Soul Purpose."
"It was a really fantastic journey for me," Boreanaz tells Zap2it.com about stepping behind the camera. "I had a great time."
Except for one thing: "I found myself immersed in the work so heavily that I really needed some sleep, but I couldn't because I had to shoot the next episode," he says. Nonetheless, Boreanaz found the experience rewarding and hopes he gets a chance to direct again somewhere down the line.
In the episode, Angel is disturbed by a series of dreams in which Spike (James Marsters) takes over Angel's role as champion, continuing a plot thread from earlier in the season. Boreanaz says Marsters and the rest of the cast responded well to him as a director.
"They really gave me everything they had and were very supportive," he says. "I wanted them to make it an enjoyable experience for them as well -- to really enjoy the rehearsal process and make them feel [the episode] was partly theirs, because it is. I feel that way when I rehearse when we're with another director, so I wanted them to be part of that as much as they possibly could."
"Soul Purpose" is scheduled to air Wednesday, Jan. 21.

Just seen the Promo. Like to see Angel looking sweaty and miserable, but I guess we are meant to feel sorry for him and his hallucinations/delusions |

Angel Star Directs Self
David Boreanaz, star of The WB's Angel, told SCI FI Wire that he came
prepared for his debut as a director in the upcoming episode "Soul Purpose,"
which
airs Jan. 21. "I came in with some really strong ideas and some strong visuals
that I wanted to do, and I had a big ... meeting with [executive producer] Jeff
Bell," Boreanaz said in an interview at The WB's winter press preview. "A lot
of the ideas I wanted to do kind of got, not squashed, but just toned down a
bit, because I had to remind myself that I am shooting an Angel show and not
this crazy, cinematic, swooping thing," he said with a laugh.
In "Soul Purpose," Boreanaz does double duty as helmer and star in an episode
that brings back the character of Lindsey (Christian Kane) and puts Angel in
a fever-dream state. Balancing both roles was a challenge, he admitted. "It's
pretty crazy, yeah," he said. "You do your work, and there were moments when I
was acting in it, and I had the [assistant director] call 'action,' or I
would look at a little television monitor while I was setting the shot and
rehearsing. So your mind's really all over the place. But I enjoy working like
that.
The more that's going on, the better for me creatively."
Boreanaz's castmates praised his sure hand and confidence, unusual in a
first-time director. Boreanaz was more self-effacing. "All I want to do is
fulfill
the story, tell the story, and as a director you want to creatively shoot it
so that you keep the audience involved rather than removing them, because it
can be very easy to do that," he said. "So that was challenging to do that. And
I had a good time. I kept within the parameters, and I pushed some buttons,
and I shot a lot of low angles. I like low angles." Angel airs Wednesdays at 9
p.m. ET/PT.

www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0401/19/angeldirector.htmHOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- David Boreanaz's first time directing probably won't be his last.
The star of The WB's Angel went behind the cameras for his directorial debut with "Soul Purpose," the episode that airs this Wednesday, and from all indiciations, things went swimmingly.
'David directed as well as anybody we've had -- and that's really embarrassing," joked series executive producer, creator and frequent director Joss Whedon.
Boreanaz said his directing gig was "a very pleasurable experience," although sometimes disconcerting.
"It's pretty bizarre when you're directing and then you're acting in it and you're trying to remove yourself from it. It's a very strange experience," said Boreanaz, who is also starring in the latest Crow film, Wicked Prayer.
"For me, these guys (cast mates) are fantastic. They know what they're doing. The notes are so minimal. They do their job. They come in, they hit their marks and they're professional. And I allow them to grow creatively and allow their space to almost make it as a whole, rather than an individual thing -- which I like to see the show as. I let their wings fly creatively and I want to keep that energy alive."
In "Soul Purpose," a mysterious stranger approaches Spike, claiming responsibility for recorporealizing him in a mission to guide Spike in supplanting Angel (David Boreanaz) as the new vampire champion. Meanwhile, Angel is racked by intense fever dreams and hallucinations of his worst fears intensifying his worries that he will lose authority to Spike.
Whedon said his series star handled the episode's challenges well.
"There is nothing that can prepare you for directing -- it's just different from everything. It's such a crap shoot and I didn¹t know how these guys would relate to each other," Whedon said. "The amazing thing to me wasn't just that the performances were up to snuff -- because that is something you would expect an actor to understand -- but the camera work and all of the setting and the lighting were beautifully done."
James Marters, who plays Spike, also praised Boreanaz.
"Overall David was fabulous as a director," he said. "I had people from the crew come up to me and say, 'Can you please lobby the producers to have David back? When we're really tired, at the end of the season, a bad director can break us, so please get David back.' I hope he directs two or three season -- I'm serious.
"He had a confidence about him that normally first-time directors normally lack. He was so confident, and we all relaxed."
Andy Hallett, who plays Lorne, said that Boreanaz relied on his personal experience with the cast.
"There was a scene where I required a little bit more energy to enjoy the moment more," Hallett said. "And he said, 'This is what I need you to do. And it didn't work the first time. So he came back and said, 'Pretend you're performing with Patti LaBelle right now.' It was an example that he know I would really get. So it was neat to see him take all these personalities and tie them all together."
Boreanaz directing is probably the closest thing to a sweeps stunt that Angel will have this season -- not that one is necessary. Ratings are critical reviews have been solid for the show in the fifth season.
"The law offices have changed our perspective, how we relate to each other," Boreanaz said. "And I think each character now can stand on its own and deliver a great telling of the story of what's happening."
