David Boreanaz, star of The WB’s vampire series Angel, told the official WB Web site that the upcoming fifth season will feature more stand-alone episodes and shorter story arcs. "It’s not going to be so heavy as it was in the past," Boreanaz said. "The arcs are going to be shorter. There are going to be more stand-alone shows." Boreanaz, sporting a small goatee, added that the show will get a little lighter this season. "You’re going to see a group of characters investigate something [and] get through it," he said. "It will be more light stuff happening. A lot of dark humor going on. ... It’s action. ... There’s adventure. There’s love. ... It’s fast-paced, [with] special effects. ... It’s going to be packed with quick jabs rather than long punches this year." Angel returns to its regular Wednesday 9 p.m. ET/PT timeslot on Oct. 1. |
