This conversation is really making me miss Buffy and Angel.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

We've never had a proper, knock-down, drag-out Buffy vs Angel fite, have we?
That might be fun...
Not technically perhaps, though we got proper knock-down drag-out fights between Buffy and Angelus on several occasions, and those certainly rocked.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Jim was talking about arguing for which show was superior as a topic of discussion. Which did sound like a fun, if potentially dangerous, idea to me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Buffy was better. Except when Angel was.

I don't believe you. It's the other way around. Prove it.
All valid responses, I think.

I tend to share the opinion that the quality tended to seesaw, with one show waxing as the other waned. But I think Buffy in its pure state in the early seasons was better than either of the divided efforts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Angel, first 18 episodes, season 2.
Dude. That's some TV.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
They were part of it. Bringing in Buffy would have been, to me, very Deus ex Machina.
Or Slayers ex Machina. I think bringing in Faith might have worked, since it creates a nice tie-in w/ Angel saving her in a rain-soaked ally in Five by Five.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Slayer rescue would have been hella silly. Deus ex Machina that obvious needs to be left to comedy in these modern times.
Meep! New action figures! [link]

I know many of you will be all sticky over the Hottt-Wesley-with-weapons, but this is my favorite, from the end of the article:
Fans should also be on the lookout for the limited edition, "No Place Like Plrtz Glrb" Lorne which comes with a removable head, platter, basket, and Wolf, Ram, and Hart books.
