Angel spoilers

[doyle]

According to filmjerk.com, the Angel producers are casting for Wes's father, Roger.

The elder Wyndham-Pryce, listed as being in his late 50s or early 60s, is described as being “incredibly well-educated and articulate, albeit with a rather stern disposition.” The actor who is given the guest-starring role will film his scenes over 10 days in Los Angeles, beginning October 1.

According to our source, Roger is there to evaluate Wesley (played by Alexis Denisof) for possible reacceptance to the Watcher's Council. The visit is strictly business, as years of distance and unresolved issues make for a great deal tension between the two. Roger also strongly disapproves of Wesley's new workplace (he calls it "a haven of Hell") and the company he keeps, including Angel and Gunn.


I'm hugely intrigued at getting a look at Wes's dad. Sounds like it has the potential to be a very cool episode.

Question though. Does this mean that the Watchers Council is no longer blowy-uppy, and thusly reformed?

I love the smell of retcon in the morning :)

I assume some of the older Watchers (who were possibly retired - we don't know if Wes's dad was still working) survived the First's campaign and are trying to rebuild the council.
