Product Description
This release features four episodes of 'Angel' selected by series creator, Joss Whedon. The episodes focus on Wesley (Alexis Denisof), the disgraced ex-Watcher who drifts to Los Angeles to help Angel (David Boreanaz) fight the forces of darkness. In 'Parting Gifts', Wesley arrives in LA as a rogue demon hunter. In 'Guise Will Be Guise', Wesley pretends to be Angel while Angel is out of town in order to impress a client. In 'Loyalty', Wesley becomes convinced that the prophecy concerning Angel's murder of his baby son Connor is about to come true. Finally, in 'Sleep Tight', Wesley kidnaps Connor to keep him safe from Angel, unwittingly falling straight into Wolfram and Hart's trap.
Product Description
In every generation, there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer...
Well, that's the theory. The reality, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer is somewhat different. When Buffy briefly snuffed it at the hands of badguy, The Master, a replacement Slayer was activated. Armed with a stake called Mr Pointy and a seriously dodgy accent, Kendra didn't last long and her death, in turn, activated Faith.
Faith was a party-girl whose refusal to accept orders from her Watcher, Wesley Wyndham Price, ultimately led to her joining the dark side and fighting against Buffy and her friends. Faith was eventually restrained by a long-term coma, while Wesley was disowned by the Watcher's council and forced to remodel himself as a 'Rogue Demon Hunter'. He headed to L.A. and, in the process, switched from Buffy to the spin-off show, Angel. Although Angel tones down the humour that made Buffy so memorable, the shows are similar in that they operated in the same universe, occasionally allowing crossover episodes. The basic demon-fighting gist is unaltered, barring the subtle different that our Vampire-slaying heroine has been swapped for a hero who's a Vampire.
Angel was cruelly axed before its time in 2004. With one hundred and ten episodes to re-release countless times, Fox has decided to produce a four disc collection that celebrates the best episodes of the show. Here are Wesley's finest moments, as chosen by series co-creator Joss Whedon.

Wesley is a wonderful character in the show and one of the most developed too. The transformation from bumbling British demon hunter in season 1 to the brooding expert he became is a joy to watch.
The episode choices of this anthology seem therefore a little strange. Parting Gifts in not really Wesley centred though it does show what Wes was like to begin with. Although Loyalty and Sleep Tight are excellent Wesley episodes, since they are from the same arc they don't really both need to be there.
Since Wesley's journey throughout the show is part of what makes him so interesting, it would be better to include episodes from later seasons, perhaps Salvage from season 4 and definitely Lineage from season 5.
