Life Without Earplugs

As mentioned previously, our formerly-upstairs neighbors have now finished the bulk of their move to the flat below us, implicitly threatening, now that the tables are supposedly turned, to give us the kind of grief they've apparently "suffered" every time we've justifiably complained about their flouting of house rules due to lack of carpeting and consideration. Alas, since we are possessed of both, and aren't given to moving furniture across bare floors on weekends and in the evenings or dropping shoes and heavy boxes or allowing five-year-old boys to run around indoors and throw their toys about, they are apt to find their day-to-day living as blissfully quiet as we now do (of course, we can still hear door-slamming and other banging coming from downstairs but it isn't nearly as bad as all that plus the stomping going on right over our heads). Now that I can hear myself think again, and considering the flat above us isn't likely to receive new tenants for at least another month (maybe longer; I think the lawsuit resulted in the landlord having to sell vacated apartments rather than rent them, and there aren't a lot of buyers in that price range in this economy), I'm considering catching up on some TV shows I couldn't watch before due to noise interference.

So, what I'd like from y'all are suggestions on where I could go online to get up to speed on night-time supernatural soaps, specifically Angel and Smallville. Bear in mind I haven't seen the former since the middle of last season so I didn't watch the season-ending-cliffhangy-thingy either. I don't want websites that specialize in analysis and speculation, just plain and simple plot synopses. Thanks in advance!
