Am I the only one feeling more of a sense of loss for Angel than for Buffy? Mainly because the final season of the former has been so much better than the latter.
Also no, "We still have Angel."
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

[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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Angel was always more my show than Buffy was, so this hurts much more. I don't miss Buffy, but I will miss Angel.

Tag away Vortex.
I am arguing with myself over whether I have time to watch the last 11 hours of Angel today. I think the rational part of the brain is winning. Damn it.

The evil is this way?
"Buffy" was ready to go. Seven seasons is a lot, and although parts of Season 7 were good, it had too much Potentials for me. [Plus, the whole is Giles dead and being imprersonated by The First ("No, let's just tweak the fans) -- left me feeling snarky.] But "Angel" had at least one more season in it. It smartly kept the focus on the core group (although it did add Spike), who had a lot more stories to tell.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert
In the nostalgic vein, here are a few statistics that I've cobbled togehter:
For the entire Buffyverse
- 12 seasons
- 254 hours of episodes
- 20 different lineups in the title sequences
- 21 different actors in the title sequences
- 22 different title sequences
That breaks down this way
Buffy
- 7 seasons
- 144 hours
- 12 different lineups in the title sequence featuring combinations of 12 different actors
- 13 different title sequences
Angel
- 5 seasons
- 110 hours
- 8 different lineups in the title sequence featuring combinations of 12 different actors
- 5 seasons
- 110 hours of episodes
- 8 different casts in the tltle sequence
- 10 different actors in the title sequence
- 10 different title sequences

Buffy felt more finished to me; they'd told their story. With Angel, I feel like there's so much more to learn about who these people are, so the loss is greater.

I had seen at least one full episode of Buffy, and bits of a few others. When I sat down to watch "City Of", I didn't expect to get hooked. But since then I've seen every ep of Angel on its original airdate or on tape-delay soon afterward (with the single exception of "I Fall to Pieces", which I caught during reruns). It was AtS that got me hooked on Buffy - had to wait for the FX episodes to get caught up on the parent show.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Well, you guys are depressing.
