Angel (TV): Good and bad news for fans of the Joss Whedon Buffy spin-off series as the fate of the show is finally revealed just after the airing of the fourth season finale which took the show in a whole new direction. Lets start with the good - Variety reports that “Angel” has indeed been renewed for a full fifth season with the new regular cast addition of James Marsters (Spike on “Buffy”). Also some of the best scribes from “Buffy” have come onboard back at the WB to help kick off the fifth season, as will other characters from Sunnydale who’ll put in appearances (who and what capacity is unsure right now). The downside? Cordelia herself Charisma Carpenter is not expected to return as a series regular. The network will announce its Fall TV slate tomorrow.

While looking up information for Al Pacino I noticed he has been cast to play the part of Roy Cohn in aTV miniseries adaptation of my favorite play, Angels in America. With a strong cast that includes Meryl Streep, Emma Thompson, and Jeffrey Wright it has potential to be properly handled. The original play by Tony Kushner is rich in context, subtext, and reference. It is his masterful handling of innuendo and unspoken realities that makes Angels a fascinating work of theater. It is this same intelligent handling of the controversial topics of right wing politics, sex, AIDS, homosexuality, religious repression and death that I fear may not prove viable for American television and may get whitewashed out of existence. This is a production I will have to keep my eye on.
