5x06 - The Cautionary Tale Of Numero Cinco: Worst Episode of the season?

[Joshua]

Am I the only one who thinks "The Cautionary Tale Of Numero Cinco" is the worst episode of the series & season? it was such a filler too

 

[white avenger]

Actually, I have sort of a soft place in my heart for this episode, probably because of the scene where salty ol' Numero Cinco was telling Angel how they used to do things back in his day. Us ol' timers gotts stick together.

And I would have LOVED to see the Five Brothers take out the Devil's Robot.

I liked parts, how in the flashback of them being in the bar angel says, "so you always wore your masks?" and I like the ending.

 

[Dagenspear]

I'd say this is a fair assumption to make.

 

[Hale Caesar]

It was pretty awful. I loved Season 5, but this episode was just bad

 

[BuffyElevated]

I don't think it was just the worst episode of the show, it was the worst episode of a TV show EVER.

 

[EvilBuffy]

It's been a little while since I watched Angel, but I agree that this episode was bad and simply filler. I wouldn't say it's the worst episode of the series though.

 

[badwolf]

I can see how people don't like it, and I downright find some episodes boring, but I really liked this one. I liked the brothers' tale quite a bit.

 

[Taake]

Yes, it is incredibly boring and I never can bring myself to re-watch it.

 

[nightshade]

I don't hate it, I don't love it it either, but I wouldn't say it's the worst episode of the series

I think all of season 5 was pretty awful, but this is the worst episode of the entire series.. makes me cringe just thinking about it.

 

[ladydorotea]

I generally find the episode too cryptically symbolic for my taste. But the worst in the season ? - probably - no. What is interesting about it though, is the fact that Joss laid down the whole Mexican Wrestler mask innuendo ( RE: Twilight) that far back in Angel S5.

NUMBER 5 You are one strange man, Señor Angel.
ANGEL I'm not the one in a mask standing in a cemetery in
the middle of the night.
NUMBER 5 No. But you will be.(toasts Angel with his
coffee)

 

[Aloverssoulz]

I think the episode is called "She" from Angel season 1. I find that to be the worst of the series.

 

[Appelsapientje]

I think the episode is called "She" from Angel season 1. I find that to be the worst of the series.

I would say so too. I just don't get that episode. I've watched it 4 times now and I still don't really understand it in some way. It's weird, but it just doesn't seem to get through.

I don't really like The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco, but I can live with it.
Also, I always watch all episodes when I'm doing a rewatch, that's why I saw 'She' and this one 3/4 times.

 

[sisterofmercy]

I blocked out this episode as it bored me so much, completely forgot about it.

 

[BananaBuffy]

It was just very, very boring, really.

 

[Anya2012]

This and Harm's Way is the two of the most worst episodes of the season.

 

[Buffanator]

I recently re-watched Season 5 and yeah, skipped right over that episode. Bo-RING!

 

[This Year's Girl]

Lol, yeah, it was pretty bad. But I think "she" is way worse. So wrong on so many levels!

 

[EvilWillow]

Agreed. I hate this episode. Probably the worst episode of the series. Blegh.
