Like everyone, I love both show and I enjoy the early seasons of both 'Buffy' and 'Angel' most. But for me, 'Angel' had much better characters, Like Paul730 said, Angel, Cordelia, Wesley, Faith, Harmony, Darla and Dru, (I know they all came from 'Buffy' but 'Angel' developed them deeper) and I am also a big fan of both Connor and Fred and season 1-3 of the 'Angel' story lines.
The way the seasons go for me are: 1. Buffy: Season 3 / Angel: Season 2 2. Buffy: Season 2/ Angel: Season 1 3. Angel: Season 3/ Buffy: Season 1 4. Angel: Season 4/ Buffy: Season 5 5. Buffy: Season 4 6. Angel: Season 5 7. Buffy: Season 7 8. Buffy: Season 6

Does anyone else see the anger, or disappointment in Giles's eyes? Think he may be up to something...or against their use of magic. I also feel there is somthing about 'Twilight looking Giles' in that first pic.

Watching Normal Again recently, I remembered my only major bug-bear with that ep (which is otherwise stunning). The revelation that Buffy was in a mental institution for 2 weeks because she told her parents that she was the Slayer jars with the first two seasons SO badly that it hurts. The idea that Joyce would forget about the two weeks that her only child spent in a mental institution is enough to require social services intervention. There are so many moments in the first couple of seasons where Buffy kind of lets slip about vampires and slaying to her mother and it's just brushed off. ] Example from Bad Eggs: JOYCE: A little responsibility is all I ask. Honestly, don't you ever think about anything besides boys and clothes? BUFFY: Saving the world from vampires? JOYCE: I swear, sometimes I don't know what goes on in your head. Now if that were my daughter relapsing into what I assume is insanity, I think I would be a tad more concerned than Joyce lets on. And what about when Buffy finally reveals everything in Becoming Part II. It all seems to come as a big surprise to Joyce there as well. The most irritating thing about it for me is that it really doesn't add much more impact to Normal Again. It's not as if there isn't enough in Buffy's mind to make the idea of being in the asylum real and comforting. It irked particularly when I was listening to the commentary the other day and Diego Gutierrez, the director of the episode, was slapping himself on the back for a great little addition to the Buffy back-story. I couldn't disagree with him more! Some fanwank that might help explain this: In the comic, "Slayer, Interrupted", Buffy only gets sent to the asylum because Dawn reads her diary and "outs" her to her parents. Obviously, this comic isn't canon, but it's possible that the whole asylum thing was a false memory that only happened in the "Dawnverse", and not in the original S1-4 continuity. That might explain why Joyce doesn't seem too concerned that her daughter's babbling about vampires, or why the asylum thing was never brought up before. Just a theory. Ha, I really like that theory, and I think it could really work.

This sounds to good to wait, I might just pick it up when I pick up the new hardcover at the end of the week.... also will this be in the same hardcover as the Dru 2 part?

I am not a big fan of 'Angel' season 5 at all and I only like 'Not Fade Away' for the Wes/fake Fred part and seeing Connor again, so I am going to go with 'The Gift'.

Charisma Carpenter, Emma Caulfield, Morena Baccarin, Sean Maher and Alexis Denisof... I am so happy that Summer Glau is going to be on the show.

Wow, she looks very nice, and I like all the dark tones. (just not to big on the size of the banner) 9.5/10

Hey, Welcome... I also have a few 12 inch figures who's boxes wont stay closed, what did I do? nothing, I have all the boxers lying flat anyway so they stay closed. I have most of the 6" figures, how do I keep track of what I have? I wrote it on the side of the cardboard box that I put them in and stored them in my celler... I really do love my Whedonverse Collectables...

Rude, joking.. Off-Topic but the only reason I like her as a Higher Being is because it is better than her just being dead. I also think it led to her worst storyline ever, but she living on as one is better than her just being dead, (for me anyway) but that is not at all why I think she is a wonderful character... (I have liked her since 1997 andwe have only been told she has become one in 2007?..) Never said that becoming a higher being was a big part of her character, just a good way to honour the character with her exit from the show ... that's really it. My 'obsession and fascination' with wanting somthing good come out of somthing really bad. Oh, it seems like I made you kind of mad. It was a joke. Everyone has the obsessions. Lol. But really, sorry if I did. P.S. I love your new user name. DEATHLY THORN Ha ha, I have nothing against you joe, (or Paul730 for that matter) I will not harm you, Thanks I like my new name too. ... Hellbound Hyperion, I can't really see any good come out of her saying on 'Buffy' at all. nothing.

I am also not for the Vampy Cat, but that could just be because I have yet to see them, but I do think we should come up with something new and not just copied. something with a Stake, Blood, Fangs.. etc.
