Season five
... aaand in we go into Julieland!
Angels In Hiding (Pt I) - with Kris's and Tiffany's introduction they cut out the opening credits to keep the suspense of who the new Angel was, this time they're not being that coy and we are introduced to Julie/Tanya Roberts straight away - a model school graduate.
Of course, to make Julie, a model, fit in they're having a sleazy model storyline. "Tiffany's decided to stay East for a while" - haha! The Angels get their first taste of Julie Rogers via a photo and their comments are slightly lesbionic. Our first scene with Julie; clearly they took the lack of T & A critique of season four to heart and put Tanya in a deep plunging neckline to show off her "assets". Microwaves! How 80s. Wow, that has to be the fakest alley set I've seen. RIP Julie's coke-addicted roommate, we hardly knew ye.
"I'm just a Nebraska wheat farmer..."
Julie offers coffee - by Tiffany logic, she must be an okay person! Though, I don't know why she bothered, since Kelly didn't even take a sip. The reality is that both Kris and Kelly would be too old to start out as models (and Kris is far too short too), no matter how good they look. Oh Terry, look what you did to Julie's (who's wearing a very skimpy robe) milk! I guess you will die now. "I walk along the beach it's so clean" - damn those environmentalists for lying! Julie shoplifted a dress and got six months at a correctional facility? Damn, that's harsh.
Poor Julie is getting a bad case of the Jessica Fletcher syndrome - all her friends keep dying!
Angels In Hiding (Pt II)
The Angels finally find out that Julie's been working undercover and suggests to a relucant Julie that they need to work on the case together! Ooh, she's reluctant, but the opening credits tells us that she'll most likely accept. Girly girly time with the three Angels... well, Julie isn't an Angel yet, but you know. Foreshadowing - Boz is holding a broschure about Hawaii, tantalizing the viewers that yes, the Angels will keep wearing skimpy bikinis in the following episodes, so stay tuned!
Kris is really bad at playing a klutz, but since all bad guys are dumb they buy it and sends Kris to do a sleazy auto show. You know, I'm not sure why Kris has to go through this charade since the first girl was found strangled in the alley behind Eddie's in a bikini, couldn't they just go there directly? We get more background info on Julie, born in a tough neighbourhood with a broken family. Kelly the Orphan can relate! Model-turned-Detective Julie on the case as she follows a suspects car. Yes, load your gun openly in a bar totally non-discretly. Somehow, I think you'll fit right in Julie!
"I don't think Julie's going, she's being taken!"
As observant as ever Kelly.
You know they just did this Julie-on-the-car-roof scene so that perverts could get a peek down her cleavage, right? Pretty sure that Tanya Robert's stunt double in the long shot scenes is a man too. Oh, the creepy bottle glasses sees right through Kris! And gets hit by a car - Kelly seems all damsel in distress-y as she covers her mouth with both her hands. Yeah, well done Angels and Boz, it's like all of them at the party wouldn't know that the guy was a skeezebag.
Gee, they really made sure to mention that most modelling agencies are honorable and decent people. And surprise surprise! Since looks goes before competence at the Townsend Agency Julie just got hired. Poor Tiffany, I guess she's doomed to stay back east, since we can't have four Angels (unless Aaron Spelling sues you for breach of contract and forces you to do guest appearances).
