Buffy was better. Except when Angel was.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

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

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Dude. That's some TV.
It's possible that "Origin" is my favorite episode of the entire 5 seasons. It's just note-perfect the whole way through, the way "Surprise"/"Innocence" and "Passion" are for BTVS. Not a single false step.

You're a Buffista who thinks Buffy season 1 is the best, right Matt?
Angel, first 18 episodes, season 2.
If you're leaving out the end of season 2, you may as well take the last 6 from season 1, which set it up.
I'm totally embarassed, but which one is "Origin" again?
