| Continuing from the past two weeks, Li Jun Li laced to a post in a dingy basement and tape gagged. Very dark show, and very disturbing scenes. |

Record number: 9792 Title: Angel (1999) Medium: TV Series Actress: Amy Acker Description: Episode: "Why We Fight" (5.13) In this partial flashback episode, a vampire returns after six decades to avenge his martyrdom (as he sees it) during WWII by taking Angel's friends hostage and threatening to kill them. Yes, it's about as forced as it sounds, but it does lead to the full treatment for Fred (Acker). We first see her tied to a chair at the 15-minute mark (including commercials). While the three quick shots at this point -- two long shots and one close-up -- total all of three seconds, they do show off her cute skirt, legs, hands-to-chair-arms bondage, and a surprisingly credible detective gag. Cut to the 30-minute mark. Just before the commercial, we see Fred standing on a chair: still gagged, tied hands behind (though see below) and ankles together, with a noose around her neck. Lamentably, her colleagues Wesley and Gunn are in a similar predicament on either side of her. Back from commercial, the scene continues. Finally, just to keep the every-15-minute thing going, the sequence concludes with a final scene beginning at the 45-minute mark. There's a lot more didactic dialogue than distressed damsel, and there's also one unfortunate shot from behind in which it looks very much as though Fred's wrists aren't actually tied at all. Still, we do get a few rather nice close-ups of Acker (who pouts nicely) and her gag as the action unfolds, so far be it from me to consider this sequence unworthy. |
