Something I didn't notice before...

[TheHeartist]

Rewatching Angel from the beginning through to Not Fade Away, and I only just bloody noticed Merecdes McNab's elevation to main cast member at the end of season five. I really didn't notice the first time around :S

Good for her!

 

[thegifting]

Good for her, sure, but she didn't offer much to the show other than means to ends, in my opinion. I appreciated the face, the person being so deeply tied to the original mythos of all this hoopla, but I never liked her.

 

[Edmund Blackadder]

Do you want to know another thing alot of people don't realise.

I can't remember. but I don't think Angel is in the Pilot, if that is the case the Harmony is the ONLY character to be in the Unaired Pilot and the last episode of Angel - the amount of time she was with the 'verse' kinda thing she deserved it.

However, I do believe she brought a certain light hearted feel to season 5, which otherwise would be quite dark otherwise.

 

[Hello Cutie]

Harmony was one of the consistently brilliant characters throughout Buffy and Angel, and personally, she thoroughly deserved having her (albeit short) time in the limelight.

 

[VisionGuy]

Whether she was in the credits or not, I never saw her as a main cast member. She's still just a guest star to me. I don't like that they gave her Cordy's backdrop though.

 

[JCC]

Yeah, BOtD beat me to it, but Harmony is the longest-running Buffyverse character.

 

[FluffyBuffy]

I thought Harmony brought great comedy to the show and she was so good at it too. I really loved her character, sad to see that when the show was ending that was when they decided to put her in the opening credits.

 

[Superstar]

Yeah, BOtD beat me to it, but Harmony is the longest-running Buffyverse character.

Well one of a very few anyway if you count the unaired pilot.
Buffy
Xander
Cordelia
Harmony
Giles
Darla
Jonathon (go Jonathon!)

But yeah, Harmony is the last one standing.

 

[Joan the Vampire Slayer]

Yeah, BOtD beat me to it, but Harmony is the longest-running Buffyverse character.

What about Darla? She was in the original Buffy pilot as well. And she appeared (here and there, including flashbacks) all the way onto the end of 4 of Angel.

 

[DrusillaRox]

I love darla, but harmony was the longest running not-main character

 

[Cordelia Chase*]

I wished they would of let harmony stay good, or close to it. She did give the show a warm hearted typed feel. I miss her.

And yes I noticed all along and I think she deserved it.


MAybe they'll let her come back in the comic. They could have it that the papers that Angel gave her were instructions instead of a resume. Telling her that he knew hell was coming and could of sent her to get help. Even to Buffys camp, ((morelikely Willow)) lol

 

[Anya2012]

She was annoying and a waste of space. People seem to forget she was a vampire without a soul.

 

[Fake Shemp]

Harmony rules, so she was a vamp without a soul... she wasnt exactly bad was she... and she was worse in High School anyways.

soul does not equal good.

w00t for Mercedes being the longest running cast member too.

 

[Perny]

Harm was the sort of vampire you grew to like.
She seemed really annoying as human, and even more when she died.
But even though she has no soul, she isn't exactly the kind of evil that makes you shit yourself

 

[Fake Shemp]

ROLF! certainly not!

i dunno its like now, i love cordy and harmony... back then i didnt. just difrent perspective now i guess. Harmony is a legend... yes a foot!

she's so happless and hopeless and bless her really... like how funny was she in buffy as a vamp? thinking buffy is after her and shes always on the lamb, and i love her and spike!

she is a uber bitch... but in a good way

"Dumpster chic for the dumped..."

 

[crucio]

Was never a Harmony fan , She used to annoy me with the constatnt whining .Met Mercedes though and she was a babe. Spike put it best when declaring his love for her in " The Harsh light Of Day".

Harmony - You love that tunnel more than you love me.
Spike - I love syphilis more than you.

Ha Ha!!!

 

[Tueuse de Vampires]

I din't like the way they just relaced Cordelia with her, but otherwise I didn't really mind Harmony. Though, does anyone think those two should've had some more time together on screen in Angel s5?

 

[Urgent Power]

Actually, I'm thankful for Harmony in Angel season 5. She was so funny and sad and sometimes pathetic. And I liked watching her trying to "live" her "life" around all those humans and other vampires, and nobody, nobody liked her. She made me laugh so that's why I wanted her on Angel.

 

[Airam]

God, I just wish they'd not made her be in cahoots with Hamilton there at the end, it would have been better if she'd just been pretending to get info for Angel. She just seemed to be on such a road of self-motivated progress, I just hated that they did that to her... she really could have gone out as a "selfless" souless vamp. *sigh*

I thought Mercedes did a great job with the role she was given. I am an actor as well (although only theatre!) and I can imagine what a difficult role that must have been for her. (trying to make a otherwise trite comical character appear meaningful, making us care about her, etc)

Mercedes is great 🙂
