I remember thinking I must have no soul during the W&P of that montage, because I found it unbearably cheesy and annoying.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
AtS S2 is pretty much my favourite TV season, although the fragments of Profit and Firefly give it some competition. If there wasn't any Pylea, it would win hands down.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Including Pylea? Because when I rewatch S2, I have to stop there.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I love Angel S4 a whole bunch as well. And "Origin."
I think I liked "Not Fade Away" more than "Chosen," too.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I didn't hate Pylea, though it wasn't a high point of S2.
