This is one the my favorite episodes so far, because the focus being on Cordy and Doyle.

nice ghost efx and Beth Grant was great as the ghost Maude.

looking forward to learning more about Doyle's backstory.
 
I looooooved this epidsode SO MUCH when I first started watching Angel. I loved seeing Cordy grow. You could see her changing before your eyes. And, it was quite a scary episode too!

Plus, Dennis is the product of this episode. Gotta love Dennis.



EDIT: Hahha, I remember I didn't understand this episode's title meant, "Room with a View", I used to pronounce it, "Ramawavu". Hahhahha.

so Dennis will be hanging around, very cool.
 
I think.. I think he did.

Dennis is 9 seconds in. Notice: the brick trowel.

I never realised that was dennis in the opening credits. Dennis is awesome.

Also, I do rather like this episode. It was really rather creepy which is a difficult thing to do as the whole haunted house idea is a little dated and cheesey but they did a really good job of it.

I meant as a regular, as in David Boreanaz as Angel, Charisma Carpenter as Cordelia, and then cut to a blank screen as Dennis.




That would've been interesting, the type of thing one would expect from Joss Whedon.

wonder why he didn't?
 
Me likey the episode 🙂 It's so nice Cordy centered 😀
Also, this is one of the scariest episodes ever, at least for me. Ghosts always give me the creeps.

Dennis should get his own spin-off! (sw)
 
I love the fact that they called him Phantom Dennis because Star Wars Episode I had just come out ("The Phantom Menace"). 😛

I didn't know about the phantom dennis/phantom menace thing! Haha, that's funny!
A fantastic episode I love the little twist at the end with Cordy breaking the wall down and Dennis is finally freed. Its about time he was, he was the best ghost ever, I love him even more by the time season 3 rolls round for Cordy's birthday but Im not saying another word. 😀

I've always wondered why they spelled it like that actually. Does anyone by any chance know?

Yeah, that was great. 😀
Phantom Dennis is so great, I'd love to have him for a room mate. In that apartment too because it's beautiful.


Oh, the episode? That was great too. I remember it being my favourite S1 episode. The whole haunted house thing is a little old but it was executed great. I love how Cordy's and Doyle's relationship really grows in this one.
 
Angel ep by ep; Rm w/a Vu

Rm w/a vu

The Good;

Everything, an emotional rollercoaster for Doyle and Cordy and the introduction of Phantom Dennis. Great performance from Beth Grant, a great actress you can also see in Speed, Six Foot Under, Donnie Darko etc

The Bad;

Bit of a reach that the ghost can do a perfect imitation of Angel's voice, is she the Terminator or something?

Best line:

Cordy (of Angel) "Do you have mousse? Of course you do!"


Jeez, how did they get away with that?

Doyle's hand getting jammed in the drawer, Cordy almost getting hanged, Maude Peirson walling her son up.

Apocalypses: 4

Angel Cliches

Damsel in distress; nope, 2.

Inverting the Hollywood cliche;

In disguise; 1.

DB get's his shirt off; wet, dripping and nearly naked 2

Cordy's tatto; our first glimpse

Fang Gang in bondage: Cordy almost hung, don't think thats counts
Cordy: 5
Angel: 4
Wes: 1

Fang gang knocked out: yep, Cordy
Cordy: 8
Angel: 7
Wes: 1
Doyle; 1


Kills:
Cordy: none this ep. 3 vamps, � a demon from her time in Sunnydale
Angel: 1 demon for Angel. So that gives Angel 8 vamps, 3 demons, 2 humans.

Fang Gang go evil:
Cordy: 1
Angel: 1

Alternate Fang Gang: possessed Cordy
Cordy: 2
Angel: 3

Characters killed: Dennis and a trio of the flat residents offscreen

14


Total number of Angel Investigations:
3, Angel, Doyle and Cordy

Angel Investigations shot: loads of gunplay but no
Angel: 5,

Notches on Fang Gang bedpost:
Cordy: 1?
Angel: 1;Buffy

Kinky dinky:

Maude calls Cordy a tramp and streetwalker, good thing they didn't go through with the storyline of Corrupt huh?

Captain Subtext;

Know the face, different character; 1

Parking garages;

2

Guantanamo bay;

Once again Angel doesn't hesitate to beat his way to the answers

Questions and observations;

Excellent ep with loads of good scenes and some real emotional impact, easily one of the best of season 1. I for one find it heartbreaking that Cordy has only five names in her LA phonebook and 3 are crossed out. Aura, her Sunnydale friend is the girl who finds the corpse in her locker in Welcome to the Hellmouth on Buffy.

Marks out of 5; 8/10
 
This is one of my faves. It was this episode that I liked Cordy (I wasn't really a fan back in Buffy).

I give it 9/10.
 
I love this episode so much. Too many good quotes and funny scenes from Cordelia, lol. I love Dennis. But I was so scared when they found him in the wall. And the flashback was so scary. I say 9/10. 🙂
 
nice episode!!!Introduction of Dennis who proved to be very,very loyal to Cordy throughout the series!and of course good old Cordy is back!Go Cordy kick the old lady's ass!!!(that doesn't sound so well unless the old lady is an evil ghost!LOL)
