Angel's Ring

[Grognaurd]

In Season 3 we learn about Angel's ring. Question, does he go home and get it at the end of the world or does he have it with him all along? If it really is a link to organized crime, why keep it in normal day to day activities? Wouldn't having it risk exposure to a life one is seeking to escape? If it is crime, why bother after the world collapses?

But, if it is an apocalyptic cult and one has some knowledge of Z-day in advance, it is a pretty important thing to have.

I don't recall us ever hearing Angel goes back to his own place so I'd assume it's something he has on him. Despite what it represents, it's still a gift from his father. He could have it like a necklace or maybe he actually wears it but no one except family members understand it's meaning.

I don't think the family serves more purpose than to intertwine Scratch to Angel's stories.....and of course to allow for some momentary "Scratch will die" drama only to have her do what she did to Durai.

Yeah that does seem strange that he has it on him. Not being in the military, I'll have to defer to an expert on this, but when you're in the thick of your indentured servitude are you allowed to wear hand jewelry?

Good point, but I would say that as a reservist he would have been coming from home. Remember that he and Michael had that conversation about how they got there. He could have had it on his person and planned to put it in his locker once they suited up and went out.

In the Army you are allowed to wear rings while in uniform. Usually just one, and not too big or flashy. Then again, you should see the big garish things that officers that graduated from West Point wear, which is the reason they're nicknamed "ring knockers".

We never fully fleshed out Angel's relationship with Cindy. Maybe he was living with her, and the ring was in her apartment.

I'd agree with that. It's been a looooong time since I've listened to the first three eps. I might actually do that tonight. Hmm.

I think I'm the only one that still holds out hope that Angel will come back for some back story. I miss that character more with each episode we put behind us.

I just roped a coworker into listening and since she doesn't have room on her phone she uses mine to listen on our commute to and from NYC. I can hear the story through her headphones so I'm getting a mini Season 1 crash course.

i burned through all 3 current seasons in 3 weeks to get up to speed for this. other than that, i think the angel story is finished until perhaps mentioned again during a possible downfall of Scratch.

I'd suggest he always had it with him to remind him of his father. Despite was his father was caught up in, and how Angel himself had turned his back on that, it's still something to remind him of the good times he had with his father, perhaps.
