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?
