    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 10; 8/10

    It turns out that it's not only Angel who will be searching for redemption on the show. This episode features Cordelia trying to redeem herself for her past crimes. Unlike Angel and his history of death and pain, Cordelia faces up to her past of torment and cruelty she excelled at in Sunnydale High.

    In Rm w/a Vu, Cordelia moves into a new apartment. It has wonderful furniture, tons of living space, vibrant dcor and a, uh, ghost problem.

    Cordelia is absolutely excellent in this episode. Charisma Carpenter is amazing throughout and there is a hilarious line at least every 30 seconds. The scenes where Cordelia and Doyle go round to various apartments around LA are stand-out moments, the funniest being the creepy apartment super who offers Cordy his bed for the night.

    The scenes involving Cordy trying to cover up all the hauntings are absolutely brilliant. One exchange in particular is hysterical. In the scene, the word "DIE" has just appeared on the wall, written in blood...

    Cordelia: I'm not giving up this apartment!
    Angel: It's haunted
    Cordelia: It's rent-controlled!
    Doyle: Cordy, it says "die"
    Cordelia: Maybe it's not done; maybe it says "die-t". That's friendly... a little judgmental sure.

    As well as being filled to the rim with hilarious lines, Rm w/a Vu also has some terrifying scenes, the most creepy being the flashback to Maude Pearson bricking up her son, Dennis, in the wall. Her casual dialogue as he pleads for her to stop is very effective and you genuinely feel for Dennis, who makes his first appearance, one of the funniest characters in the history of Angel, who decides to stick around with Cordelia in her new apartment.

    Charisma has said that Rm w/a Vu is her favorite episode and it's unsurprising, it's an absolutely hilarious hour and the one of only two Angel episodes written by Jane Espenson, the best comedy writer in the Buffyverse.

    Who *is* Cordelia Chase?

    Is she the lies she tells herself? Is she the attitude she projects? After all, she was all about things leaking. She gave an astonishing read for garbage bags. Cordelia is a woman who is professional enough to prepare for an audition, but not "professional" enough to sleep with the director like the dominiatrix who got the job.

    Is she her crappy apartment in which she does personal affirmations? We saw a rundown of terrible places to live -- starting with her own -- like something out of the ersatz nanny applications Robin Williams voiced in "Mrs. Doubtfire."

    And I'm intrigued by the presence of peanut butter in Angel's bed. That's just *wrong*. ;)

    Oh, btw -- NAKED ANGEL! David's first nude scene on the series -- his lats were so proud.

    Doyle *knows* someone. Griff? Well, not Griff, maybe, but what a charismatic one-shot character.

    At least his house hookup was slightly more reliable -- well, *only* slightly, given the poltergeistilicious apartment he found for her.

    I'm flying right by the Cordy in Angel's dungeon because while that was very much Cordy, she was mostly there for Odd Couple farce. "Don't mind me, I'm just going to change everything around and take up the flooring."

    But who is Cordelia Chase?

    She isn't even the person who first moves into the apartment -- status-seeking and into the material, one step further along from the Cordettes. In just a few short years she is making huge sacrifices to save the world, although she needs a trip through the looking glass to confirm that.

    No. Who she is, sadly, is the person the morning after she moves in with a psychotic ghost.

    She hides things from her friends.

    Her first instinct whenever there is trouble is to circle the wagons, turn inward and not trouble anyone else with what's going on with her in her life.

    This is a charitable instinct. No one wants to be a downer. But she gives so much, and doesn't give anyone else an opportunity to be there for *her*. The apartment has attacked her but she won't let Angel and Doyle know what's going on until the place starts getting completely out of hand and they drag her from it.

    This is a character flaw that will destroy her. It's part of why Cordelia Chase towers as a tragic figure in this series. Her fatal flaw.

    When she gets impregnated with demon seed, she doesn't go into work, and Angel actually has to go to her house to find out what's going on with her. She will endure massive brain trauma before the Powers actually step in and infuse her with demon essence.

    When she can't deny the help she needs, after she returns from her higher dimension with amnesia, she withdraws, runs and hides, allying herself with perhaps the one figure on this bombed-out hellscape more screwed up than she is.

    And in this fugue, she gets completely taken over by something horrifying. When she begins to suffer some of the consequences of this possession, rather than tell anyone, she just lets it happen.

    And in her final scenes, she won't just come out and say what's going on, to let the group mourn, to say goodbye properly. Instead, she lets them believe she will be right behind them and that they've got a lovely evening of catching up and reminscing ahead of them.

    Cordelia Chase doesn't want to burden anyone with her troubles.

    It's very dramatic, and it makes for good storytelling, but ultimately, it kills her. And one wishes that she might have learned to trust people a little bit more.

    Loved the introduction to Dennis, of course, and his backstory -- so very sad.

    Also, loved a plot point raised by Kate -- if Angel's an investigator, he needs to get himself some bona fides.

    And someday soon, Doyle, we're all going to need to hear it.

    Sooner rather than later, boychik.

    For now, however, "Pope Angel" indeed. Fun fight scene and nice intertwining of storylines. And Cordy gave an outstanding turn as the "biggest bitca in Sunnydale." Her victory was delicious.

    For now, for what we knew, for the fifth episode of Season 1, great, great installment.

    And just a few dark rumblings of what lies ahead.moreless

    "Superb"
    By SleepTight, Sep 06, 2011
    'Room With A View' is the first Cordy-centric episode on Angel and it was immediately very sweet. Cordy gets a new apartment but it turns out that she has an unwelcomed dead roommate.

    It begins with Cordy in the office, she did an audition that didn't go too well. Now one of her friends Aura calls but she doesn't want to take the phone and talk to her because she isn't ready for the parade of pain.

    Doyle is very interested in Cordy and asks Angel about her, he says that she used to be rich until everything was taken away from her but at least she's doing allright. When Cordy comes home, she finds her home filled with cockroaches, she tries to call Doyle to stay over his place but he's very busy being attacked by a demon so she goes to Angel and dumps her stuff in his home and takes over his place (poor Angel).

    I really loved the way Cordy acted in this episode, when Doyle arrives next day he finds the two and thinks that they slept together. Angel tells him they really didn't and that he knows about Doyle's problem and will help him as long as Doyle helps him getting rid of Cordy.

    Doyle takes Cordy for tours to find her own apartment, they are all crappy until the last one who looks perfect but when they leave, it turns out to be haunted. When Cordy goes to sleep overnight she begins to realise it's haunted to, next day she just tries to ignore everything even though she knows it's haunted. Her friends come over and they see that the place is haunted and want to take Cordy away from it but she wants to stay. Doyle says to clean the place and to get rid of the ghost.

    While Doyle and Angel try to find some stuff Cordy gets a call from Angel to go to the house but when she arrives it turns out to be the ghost who wanted to kill her, she makes Cordy to act pathetic and then tries to strangle her. Luckily for her Angel and Doyle arrive just on time to save her. They try to help Cordy but she's very down because of what little old ghost said to her and she acts like a weakling.

    But when old lady ghost takes her to a room to kill Cordy, she calls her a b!tch and that makes her realise what she is. She fights back and casts the old lady out of her room while Angel and Doyle kill some demons that Doyle owes something to.

    When Cordy comes out, she's possessed by the old lady. She destroys the wall she hated from the start and it has a skeleton in it. Turns out that old lady ghost killed her own son and then had a heart attack the same moment he died. His name is Dennis and his ghost wakes up and destroys the old lady ghost.

    'Room With A View' was an excellent episode that had a few slow moments but most of it was great fun. Doyle got some character development even though that's what drags down the episode and Cordy gets her own apartment. This episode also introduced the coolest ghost ever, Dennis.

    Rm W/ Vu is awesome! Phantom Dennis' fist episode LOL.
    Doyle find Cordy an apartment and she falls in love with it. It is just what she wants. But little do they know it is haunted by the scariest lady I have ever seen, and her son.
    Back in the day, a woman buried her son alive in one of the walls in the apt and she wants Cordy out. She doesnt want any woman near her son (wacko).
    So she tortures Cordy for a little while but then Cordy's strength comes back and says my favorite line of the episode "The bitch is back!".moreless

FILTER BY TYPE

  • TRIVIA (10)

    ADD TRIVIA

    • The website for the Los Angeles Globe-Register article that Doyle looks at concerning the dead Mrs. Pearson has no domain, like .com or .org or anything. It just reads www.lagloberegister/search/...

    • Timecode 35:28. As Cordelia is standing up, facing away from the camera, Charisma's tattoo can be seen.

    • In this episode, the entrance to Cordelia's apartment is an exterior door. In all future episodes it's an interior hallway.

    • After Cordelia showers in Angel's apartment, she is combing through her hair with her fingers and looking in a coffee pot (because Angel doesn't have any mirrors). She sets the pot back down on the table and Angel walks past, you can see his reflection on the coffee pot.

    • One of the Kaliff demons shoots a tile on the edge of the fireplace, but in subsequent shots, both during the fight and later, once Cordelia is settling into her apartment, it is intact again.

    • The noose used to hang Cordy changes appearance from shot to shot, sometimes appearing as a straight cord with a loop at the end, other times appearing as a large loop twisted around itself.

    • When Angel dials up the office from the police station, you can hear and see him dialing too many numbers. One explanation may be that this episode takes place after the introduction of 10-digit dialing (requiring the area code to be dialed along with the seven digit telephone number) was introduced in Los Angeles.

    • When Cordelia is cutting up the floor in Angel's apartment, the Chock'o'nuts can over Doyle's shoulder changes facing from one shot to the next.

    • When Doyle enters the office in the morning and looks at his watch, it's obviously not working: the sweep hand isn't moving.

    • When Doyle enters the office in the morning, he puts the key in the lock and opens the door, but never actually turns the key to unlock.

    ADD QUOTES

    • Angel: I can get Doyle to pay you the money. You have my guarantee. Griff: I saw what I saw, right? You're a vampire. How come you're helping some little demon half-breed? Angel: It's a good offer. You should take it. On the other hand, you're making me want to fight some more. You get lucky, you might last ten minutes. Really lucky and you're unconscious for the last five. Griff: You get Doyle to pay, and he's safe. Angel: Thanks. Good meeting.

    • Cordelia: (referring to her new apartment) Yes! And part of it being perfect is there being one tiny flaw for me to fix. Doyle: Ah, must be why you find me so fascinating.

    • Cordelia: Get this, I tried to call Doyle -- I sunk that low -- and there was no answer. So, here I am. Not that you were a last resort, just that I had nowhere else to go.

    • Cordelia: My apartment. It's like the barrio or the projects or whatever. And I live there! I am a girl from the projects!

    • Angel: Sooner or later I'm gonna need to hear it. Doyle: What? Angel: The story of your life. Doyle: Ah, and quite a tale it is, too. Full of ribald adventures and beautiful damsels with loose morals.

    • Cordelia: It's her. I know it. The place has that weird little old lady smell like... violets and aspercreme. Doyle: Well, they didn't find her body for three weeks so it wasn't violets there at the end, I'm thinking.

    • Cordelia: You know what? I get it. You're a ghost. You're dead! Big accomplishment! Move on! You see a light anywhere? Go towards it, okay? Ooh, cold wind. Scary. What're you gonna do, chap me to death?

    • Doyle: Well, it can't get any worse than this, can it? Cordelia: You can't tell anything from the hallway. Doyle: (Doyle sees the apartment) Hey, you're right! You know what I smell in here? (sees Cordy's angry face) Potential.

    • Doyle: Well the things you learn. I had no idea Angel was Queen of the Winter Ball.

    • Cordelia: Yesterday, your cousin called, with one of those names from your part of England. Doyle: My part of England? Cordelia: Connor or Fergus.

    • Doyle: Hey, Cordy, you're looking great, by the way. Cordelia: I wouldn't know, man doesn't have a mirror. Like it would kill him to not see himself.

    • Doyle: If you ever want to, you know, spend one night away from the place, maybe give me a call. Cordelia: Well, stranger things have happened. No... wait... they really haven't.

    • Cordelia: They gave it to a blonde who showed up in a skin-tight leather catsuit. She's supposed to be a housewife! She looked like catwoman taking out the cat trash!

    • Cordelia: (Looking at her new place) Oh my gosh. Have you ever seen anything so beautiful? Doyle: (Looking at her) Nope. Never.

    • Doyle: What about friendship and family and all the things that are priceless like they say in that credit card commercial?

    • Cordelia: My urination just hasn't been public enough lately.

    • Doyle: No... no-no-no-no! Angel, man, how could you? Angel: Could I what? Doyle: You know I was crazy about her — and I was wearing her down, too. But no — handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in, all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead! How about leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellas who don't turn evil when they get some? Angel: Cordelia stayed over because there's something wrong with her place. I was on the sofa. Doyle: Oh. That's okay, I suppose.

    • Cordelia: Angel, at some point in recent history you got peanut butter on the bed. Angel: I don't eat. Cordelia: Well, then I don't even want to know how it got there.

    • Cordelia: Like I'm still getting punished. Angel: Punished for what? Cordelia: I don't know. For how I was? For everything I said in high school just 'cause I could get away with it? And then it all ended and I had to pay. But this apartment.. I could be me again. Punishment over — welcome back to your life! Like, like...I couldn't be that awful if I get to have a place like that? It's just like you! Angel: Working for redemption. Cordelia: I meant because you used to have that mansion.

    • Cordelia: Roaches! Live ones, dead ones...all, all skinny feet and creepy antlers. Angel: Antlers? Cordelia: Oh my god, I wonder how many stowed away in that bag! Also, the water is all brown and spurty and not hot! I am dying for a shower. I actually smell. Smell me. I never smell. I didn't know I could. I'm just going to have to stay here until I find a decent place, however long that takes. And when I do you're completely invited over. Hey, you can just dump my stuff on your couch, or let me have the bed, whatever you feel good about. Also, my suitcase is still out in the hall.

    • Doyle: She's really something, isn't she? It's like wrestling a tiger just to get to know her. Tell me stuff. Angel: What stuff? Doyle: About Cordelia. Angel: Well, I... I know she can't type or file. Until today I had some hope regarding the phone.

    • Kate: I wish I could be more help. Angel: That's okay. Just knowing things that didn't happen, that's a help. You know, eliminating the possibilities. Kate: Now you're talking like a detective. Angel: I am a detective. Kate: Well, see, the thing about detectives is they have resumes and business licenses and last names. Pop stars and popes, those are the one-name guys. Angel: You got me. I'm a pope.

    • Cordy: I'm a bitch? Maude: Take off the bed sheets, make a noose. Go on. It'll all be over soon. Cordy: I'm not a sniveling whiny little Cry-Buffy. I'm the nastiest girl in Sunnydale history. I take crap from no one. Maude: You are going to make yourself a noose and put it around... Cordy: Back off! Polygrip. You think you're bad? Being all mean and haunty? Picking on poor pathetic Cordy? Well, get ready to haul your wrinkly translucent ass out of this place, because lady, the bitch is back.

    • Angel: (talking about Cordelia's high school friends) People called them the Cordettes. A bunch of girls from wealthy families. They ruled the high school. Decided what was in, who was popular. It was like the Soviet Secret Police... if they cared a lot about shoes.

    • Cordelia: Oh, cold wind. Scary. What are you gonna do chap me to death?

    • Cordelia: How come Patrick Swayzee's never dead when you need him?

    • Doyle: Angel Investigations, we hope you're helpless. No, wait...

Cordelia: It's rent controlled. Doyle: Cordy it says "DIE"! Cordelia: Hey maybe it's not done yet, maybe it's "DIET," that's friendly! A little judgmental, sure...

  • NOTES (13)

    ADD NOTES

    • The scene near the end of the episode where Dennis is being bricked up into the wall is shown in the opening credits of each episode.

    • In this episode we learn two new things about vampires: first, an invitation can be given out before the vampire gets to the door, and second, the invitation can work without even describing a specific place. That is why Angel can just walk in Cordelia's new apartment.

    • Steve Paymer (who is said to live in Cordelia's apartment building) in actuality does live in the same apartment building as episode writer Jane Espenson.

    • Music: As Angel listens to music in his apartment -- "Ode to Joy" by Beethoven When Cordelia's radio turns on by itself -- "You Always Hurt the Ones You Love" by The Mills Brothers

    • On Kate's computer screen, two of the officers who have encountered the Pearson Arms apartments are listed as Richard Wagner and Joseph Green. Richard Wagner (Ree-card Vog-nur) and Giuseppe Verdi (transliteration to English as Joseph Green) are two very famous composers.

    • On the DVD commentary, Jane Espenson takes credit for creating phantom Dennis. She also mentions that whenever a character is re-introduced, the original writer gets a small residual payment. However, since we never actually "see" phantom Dennis in any later episodes (only special effects), Jane has not received any residual payments.

    • Cordelia mentions the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Graduation Day Part 2" (3x22) when Doyle says, "Hey, your high school diploma is all burned." She says, "Yeah, it was a rough ceremony."

    • This is the first "appearance" of recurring "character" phantom Dennis. The flashbacks in this episode are the only occurence where he is played by an actor, after this he is always invisible.

    • Angel is invited into Cordelia's new apartment. He is seen inside Doyle's home, so must have been invited in at one time. Of course Doyle was part demon and the not-wholly-human quirk been used to skirt this issue in other episodes.

    • Cordelia's old apartment is #4B, her new apartment is #212 Pearson Arms.

    • Angel is listening to Beethoven's "Ode To Joy" in his apartment when Cordelia arrives, which is also the song he was whistling when he visited the hospital in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Killed by Death" (2x18). The choice of music now (and then) may also be sort of an inside joke, as any time he experiences a moment of true happiness (joy), he turns evil.

    • Doyle's telephone number is 555-0189.

    • Presumably, Aura is the same Aura who found an "extreme dead guy" in her locker in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Welcome to the Hellmouth" (1x01).

  • ALLUSIONS (11)

    ADD ALLUSIONS

    • Cordelia: Hey, hey Phantom Dennis, put that back. A play on words of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, a movie by George Lucas.

    • Cordelia: Celebrities are practically on top of me. Oh, Steve Paymer, that's Dave Paymer's brother, lives right down the hall. Oh, you'd know him if you saw him. Steve Paymer is an actor, and as Cordelia states, the brother of better know David Paymer. He has appeared on the television shows Will and Grace and Mad About You. David Paymer is an actor whose works run back to the 1979 film The In-Laws. He was nominated for an Oscar for his 1992 film Mr. Saturday Night. He was also in the film Amistad with Harry Groener, who played Mayor Richard Wilkins on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

    • Cordelia: Well, get ready to haul your wrinkly translucent ass out of this place, because lady, the bitch is back. "The Bitch is Back" is the title of a 1974 song by Elton John.

    • Cordelia: Back off, Poligrip! Poligrip is a well-known brand of denture adhesive and, in this case, is intended as an attack on the ghost's age.

    • Kate: Well, you see the thing about detectives is that they have resumes and business licenses and last names. Pop stars and popes, those are the one-name guys.
      One named pop stars include Cher, Madonna, Prince, Sting and others. The pope is the leader of the Roman Catholic church.

    • Cordelia: Little old lady ghost. How come Patrick Swayze is never dead when you need him? Patrick Swayze is an actor who starred as Sam Wheat in the 1990 film Ghost. Plot: Sam and Molly are a very happy couple and deeply in love. Walking back to their new apartment after a night out at the theatre, they encounter a thief in a dark alley, and Sam is murdered. He finds himself trapped as a ghost and realizes that his death was no accident. He must warn Molly about the danger that she is in. But as a ghost he can not be seen or heard by the living, and so he tries to communicate with Molly through Oda Mae Brown, a psychic who didn't even realize that her powers were real.

    • Angel: Well, this is not an easy spell. I mean, hawthorne berries and lungwort and bile. Hawthorn contains bioflavonoid complexes that are reputed to help to improve circulation to the heart muscle. Hawthorn supports the efficiency of the heart and promotes a healthy circulatory system. Hawthorn is also noted as being an antioxidant in the cardiovascular system. Some people use it in cleansing water to purify and remove bad vibrations. Lungwart is reputed to restore one's brain and sexual power.

    • Cordelia: It's her, I know it. That place has that weird little old lady smell, like, like violets and aspercreme.
      Aspercreme is a creme to relieve arthritis pain.

    • Cordelia: Listen good, Casper, you haven't won a thing here! I'll die before I give up the apartment. You hear me? I'll die!
      Casper is a comic book "friendly ghost" from Harvey Comics who has inspired television and films. The most popular of which was the 1995 film of the same name. Plot: Furious that her late father only willed her his gloomy-looking mansion rather than his millions, Carrigan Crittenden is ready to burn the place to the ground when she discovers a map to a treasure hidden in the house. But when she enters the rickety mansion to seek her claim, she is frightened away by a wicked wave of ghosts. Determined to get her hands on this hidden fortune, she hires afterlife therapist Dr. James Harvey to exorcise the ghosts from the mansion. Harvey and his daughter Kat move in, and soon Kat meets Casper, the ghost of a young boy who's "the friendliest ghost you know." But not so friendly are Casper's uncles, Stretch, Fatso and Stinkie, who are determined to drive all "fleshies" away. Ultimately, it is up to Harvey and Kat to help the ghosts cross over to the other side.

    • Doyle: It's all about money. What about friendship and family all those things that are priceless, like they say in those credit card commercial?
      Mastercard has commercials about how many things are priceless but "for everything else, there's Mastercard."

    • Cordelia: They gave it to a blonde that showed up in a skintight leather cat suit. She is supposed to be a housewife. She looked ridiculous. She looked like Catwoman taking out the cat-trash.
      Catwoman is a costumed cat-burglar from the Batman comic books by DC Comics. Catwoman is also referenced by Willow in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer season two episode Halloween.
