ICED!

Which Angel killed the most bad guys? Who shot who? Did that guy die?

It's time we had a definitive list.

Fans who love a good debate, cheer up, you can still argue about this topic for the rest of your days - some situations are so ambiguous, they don't even tell you whether the victim died.

Hardcore fans are excused from class, and may proceed to the stats sheets and episode checklist.

Summary for Casual Fans and the Non-Obsessive

If you're not a fan of death, feel free to go back in time, change the channel, and watch Diff'rent Strokes, because a lot of people kicked the can on this show: definitely 114, possibly as many as 121. Surprised? Really, why? It's a crime drama. Here's the skinny:

The Deadliest Angel The answer you probably came here for - who killed the most bad guys? The Angel who closes her eyes first, shoots second, and asks questions never: Kelly Garrett, seen here blind-capping her first bad guy in Season 2's Angel Blues.

No surprises there - she had the full 5 years to kill people, and frankly we'd be a little disappointed if she weren't in the lead.

However, it's worth mentioning that Sabrina actually has a greater ratio of kills - almost as many as Kelly (5 or 6), but in far fewer episodes. After that, Jill trails along with 2 kills, Kris a surprisingly low 1 or 2, and Tiff and Julie 1 apiece. Amazingly enough Bosley, who had this gig as long as ol' Killer Garrett, has not one death on his record.

Angel Killings The Angels were responsible for taking a sum of 13 to 17 lives. Season 2 is the only year in which the Angels are not responsible for any deaths. Immediately following is the Season 3 bloodbath, where the girls (well, mainly Kelly and Sabrina) bagged about half their total victims.

Though the natural assumption is that they shot everybody, they actually killed the majority of their bad guys by harassing escaping vehicles and causing them to crash and burn. Shooting comes in second, and after that, it's a grab-bag of weird one-time methods.

Angel Shootings The Angels (including Bosley) collectively shot 14 people, out of which only 2 to 5 died. Of this total, Kelly shot the most (5). At the bottom of the list come Jill and Tiffany, the only Angels who never got to shoot anyone. Just one more way poor Tiff was robbed. And she was a good shot, too - ask the bad guys' tires.

If you need more information, proceed and gorge on tallies and statistics.

ANGEL SHOOTINGS BY THE NUMBERS

STATISTICAL DEADLINESS

Even Sabrina knows it: Kelly shoots expert. No matter if you're wanted for triple homicide or petty theft, if she sees you running she'll pull a revolver out of a giant empty purse and blow you away, or at least fire a warning(?) shot after you while you flee for your life. Wait, why is she called "the sensitive one" again?

Jill's really not the killing kind (sorry), and you don't have to be while Kelly and Sabrina are on your team. It's hard to accept that, considering all the shots Jill ever fired at bad guys, she only ever killed anybody by throwing potatoes.

Total Kills:

Julie, we knew ye not well. With only about half a regular season of screentime, one could argue she wasn’t given enough time to put notches on her gun. But, come on, she’s the streetwise Angel. Real streetwise, too, not the Kelly kind of sensitively-faux-streetwise. If the writers had let her stick to her character, Julie would pull a gun out the back of her pants like Sabrina and cap some fool in practically every episode. She should have killed someone in her debut episode alone.

Total Kills: 0 People Shot: 2 (nonfatal)

You could sorta say that both times he shot bad guys were in defense of the Angels. Bosley's a teddy bear. Would you expect a teddy bear to be killing people left and right?
