I'm not sure anything in Buffy or Angel ever got me so much as the montage of all those girls becoming slayers. In that moment, the show was talking to me.
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.
I have not finished watching "Angel" yet. I thought I did, but it seems like not.
ha. though I would put "There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb" dead last.

That made me cry. That montage summed up what the show was about, the whole heart of it, to me.
wrod.
I remember thinking I must have no soul during the W&P of that montage, because I found it unbearably cheesy and annoying.
I can't rank The Gift too low since it was an S5 viewing party where I first met JZ. But it didn't have much impact on me since I knew Buffy would be back next season and the Dawn's blood asspull really bugged.
Home was the best Angel finale. AtS always had problems with seasonal arcs and pacing, I think. Though, as it later turned out, a lot of those decisions were driven by things like Charisma having to go into rehab.
The Jasmine storyline made no fucking sense whatsoever.
AtS S4 just might be my favorite season of television in the whole wide world, but I acknowledge fully my swooning irrational fangirlishness on this matter.
Loved Jasmine. Loved Connor. Everything.
More Graduation Day (re)watch-and-post: good lord, Wesley's fencing technique is awful.
Loved Connor.
That's why I love Origin so much. (Actually, it wasn't until Origin that I realized how good of an actor VK really is.)
And, okay, I also love Origin for Wesley fucking up in an epic way, AGAIN. But mostly for the Connor-ness and the related Angel-dad-ness.
