^I think both are valid. Willow seemed to assume that where Buffy's soul was had something to do with the portal, but since it was in fact a portal I figured if that was what happened her body would go with her but it didn't.
Either way of looking at it however explains where she went just fine. She would go to 'heaven' if her death was 'natural' enough because she was a good person and fought against evil etc. etc. She also had the option of going to any dimention with the portal so it makes sense either by her altruism or luck that she would end up in a heavenly dimention.

The dvds I have only have them on the fifth season of Angel which is strange. But before I got the box set of Angel (cause I had scratched a good portion of my dvds) I watched a lot on the internet through things like DivX. They usually had the previouslies in my experience. I'm sure technically its illegal though, however I made myself feel better with the fact that I had bought the DVDs I just mistreated them apparently, lol.

^^Yeah I laughed my A** off at a great many of their Christmas wishes. However I thought Brittany was going to ask for the funniest thing and she went and broke my heart. It was really very sweet, and nice to see a good Artie story. I was quite the fan of Artie and Tina, but I'm okay with Artie and Brittany, they're really sweet.

^In Touched, First/Buffy says she wants to feel (the neck snapping thing). I can't remember but I'm sure it's alluded to that it would be corporeal. At the very least First/Buffy says to Caleb that when they win The First will be able to 'enter every person as I enter you'. So some form of corporeal goal is implied at the very least. If it's common, then it's hard to think of it as a personal failing. We know that in the days of slavery, many slave-owners made mistresses of their female slaves. This was frowned on in public, as I gather from reading history, but what was the attitude in private? I suspect many people, even women, shrugged their shoulders, "boys will be boys" and so on. Don't forget, slavery is still with us. I spent nine months in Thailand when I was in the Army. I heard about slave auctions in the countryside. I also saw things go on in the brothels, where the girls were not slaves as we usually think of it, that were as bad or worse than what happened to Sierra. Well yes, but once again that is what is disturbing. The fact that slavery and colonialism (including new forms of Western colonialism) are still destroying lives terrifying and really evil. I think it's great actually that a sci-fi or fantasy show would break away from the metaphor and show the truth (if not a small version of it) and comment on what goes on in real lives. However for a sci-fi or fantasy show, human villains will never be the biggest evil, but from a real life stand point they are the scariest because they're based in reality.

^^Well yes but that doesn't make it any less wrong. Also, I'm not offended by it because it's a man treating a woman that way (not that, that doesn't offend me) but because it's a person treating another person that way. Dogmatic hatred like that of someone you see as 'inferior' for whatever reason is one of the scariest things I can think of. Racism, sexism, religious hatred, homophobia, all the way down to hating a certain hair color can be the scariest thing because it makes people treat people like slaves. Or worse makes them truly slaves.
The issue with Nolan or Warren is not in that they are in any way uncommon, but the fact that it is common is wholly disturbing.

I'm torn between Warren Mears from Buffy or Nolan Kinnard from Dollhouse (y'know, from Belonging). Warren is a misogynistic jackass in every way. He starts off just seeming a bit sleazy, but then he attempts to rape Katrina, murders her and shows absolutely no guilt for his actions. He then tries to kill Buffy, for reasons that can essentially be boiled down to because she emasculated him, and kills Tara with pretty much no remorse. Then the awfulness that is Season 8 brings him back, where he continues to feel not guilty about his actions and proceeds to try and kill Buffy, Willow and co. out of jealousy. He just disgusts me so much. I can forgive a lot of the other villains because they seem to have other motivations, Glory wants to go home, The First wants to become corporeal along with ruling the world, Caleb wishes to please The First. Much of Warren's motivation lies in petty jealousy and masculinity issues. He has just no redeeming elements to him. He's just an absolutely repulsive human being. Nolan Kinnard disturbs me way more though. I think it's because the villains on Dollhouse are just so much more human than anything on Buffy (not necessarily Angel, Lindsay and Lilah are very human characters). His actions against Priya I think are more serious and damaging than any other villains (minus perhaps, if it was explored more, the Hands of Blue and River). He kidnaps a young woman, with a promising art career, mind rapes her, forcing her into a psychotic mess, and then when he has finally manipulated the situation enough to force her into the Dollhouse, he rents her out so he can essentially rape her when he wants, how he wants etc. It takes the most repulsive of human beings to ever do what he did to someone else and when Sierra killed him I couldn't help but be happy that someone that evil has been rid from the Earth. He just completely stole the life of someone, and forced her into pretty much the worst of conditions. I'm surprised that I didn't think about either, specifically Nolan as Sierra is probably my favourite whedonverse character, but I completely agree with you, both are disturbing on a very human level. I suppose I was thinking of larger than life villains, but human villains are often even more terrifying.

Buffy: I think Xander explained it best in "Some Assembly Required" when he spoke about wanting what you can't have. "The more unattainable, the more attractive." He was close friends with Buffy, and there is no denying that he loved her, but I don't know if he was truly in love with her.
Cordelia: I think there was a depth of emotion there that was never fully explored, but again, I don't know if it ever got that far for him. I think they were a good and interesting pairing and if it hadn't been for the cheating, they could've really turned into something, but alas that is not what happened.
Willow: Deep deep friend love that at some point became attraction, but I don't think he was ever in love with her.
Anya: No denying that he was in love with her. Maybe made some wrong choices there, but his speech to her in "Into the Woods" really explains how he felt.
So all in all, it feels wrong to say that Anya was his true first love, because so much happened before hand, but it definitely was the first that was able to be explored enough to be a true deep life altering kind of in love. IMO anyway.

I think I'll base it mainly on the characters I liked best in the seasons, or who I thought shown the best for some reason
Buffy:
Season 1 - Willow, Xander Season 2 - Oz, Cordelia Season 3 - Buffy, Faith Season 4 - Willow, Spike Season 5 - Buffy, Joyce Season 6 - Tara, Buffy Season 7 - Dawn, Spike
Angel:
Season 1 - Doyle, Cordelia Season 2 - Angel, Wesley Season 3 - Gunn, Fred Season 4 - Connor, Lorne (at the very least Lorne did an excellent job narrating Spin the Bottle, and he was just Lorne where everything else was falling to hell) Season 5 - Spike, Lindsey
