[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.
I never loved any character as much as I loved Wesley, so there's that. Easy the best character evolution we got to see in Jossverse, IMO.
And that's the reason I'll be buying multiple seasons of Angel on DVD. I still get a chill watching him square off with the wheatgrass hating bookie in "The Ring".

I'd have to disagree. WTF?!Cordy was a sad, sad development, but the rest of the show didn't suffer nearly as much as BtVS did under Crack!Willow and the Potentials. (Oh yes, and Pod!Giles and Absent!Xander and Speech!Buffy. At least AtS only ruined one character.)
I'm with you. But, then, I never really had the Cordy love that others did, so it's not like the downfall of Cordelia left me feeling betrayed as a viewer or anything. (There are some aspects of S5 that do, but that would take too long for me to go into now.)

Dude, I'm workin' in the other room. Only reason you're seeing me now is that I had to stretch my hips.
See, I didn't recognize Willow in S7 either. I loved her in Villains (enough to forget the crack metaphor almost entirely, if only for that 40 minutes), but after that she was never my Willow ever again
This may make all the difference. I thought that when they actually gave her something to do in season 7, "Conversations with Dead People" for example, she was fine. I just think like the rest of the core Scoobs they didn't do enough with her.
Buffy, the second-tier Scoobs and the bad guys got the majority of the worthwhile moments season 7, IMO.

But you have a computer in every room.

Mmmmm, Ple's stretchy hips. Do your joints feel loose and gelid yet?

Second tier scoobs being Anya and Andrew and I loved the episodes that focused on them. After Xander, the character that got the short end of the stick was probably Dawn. I've mentioned it before, but there were lots of little lines that were lost between shooting script and final show that would've made her character much more interesting.
Another reason I prefer AtS to BtVS is that by S7 Buffy, the only one of the main characters I really cared about was Buffy herself.
I liked all the main characters on Angel, and even Spike went from being the wholly annoying waste of space he was in S7 to tolerable, though sadly overused. (Balance, people. Treat him as salt. Use with caution to enhance, but don't pour all over the place, because then it's overpowering and detracts from the nuances of the other ingredients.)
(Especially if your arc ends up depending on the other ingredients, which have been simply background in the overwhelming rush of sodium.)

My joints, always prone to locking and having Issues, are worse than ever, and at times it's bad enough that I have trouble walking more than a few feet without pain, actually.

This is not ideal. I'm willing to come up and cart you around by dolly if you like. There may be bungee cords involved though.
