Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel the Vampire

[Phoenix_Flare]

Angel was ok, i i fall off after season 2, but loved season 4, didn't really get season 5...but Im a Buffy fan all the way through! the story the characters, made it so real and heart felt...after s7 finale i was like so what am I going to do now!?

seasons 2, 5, 7 are my top fav. so much emotion and depth............

 

[<(o_o)>]

Loved both shows, still watch Angel in reruns sometimes. Alot of the monsters throughout the seasons on Angel look even hokier & cheesier now than I remember them looking when I first watched Angel in its regular tv run but the same can be said also about Star Trek The Next Generation.

Firefly is my favorite.

I've yet to make it all the way through an episode of Dollhouse.

Not even the one with Eliza as a whip-cracking dominatrix?t:

Lot of Whedon fans here, a while back I did a rewatch of all 4 of his series, I might start a Joss Whedon thread.

 

[Hush]

Why not just act as if this is a Joss Whedon thread? Buffy and Angel are his most notable work, besides a screen writing credit on Toy Story.

I really don't think you can seperate Buffy and Angel... to me they are one whole television show, and I couldn't possibly say one was better than the other. At the end of the day, it's one universe, created by Whedon, and brought to life by many of the same people on both shows.

Going against the grain and gonna say i do not like faith right now. 4 episodes into Season 3 and really she just seems irresponsible and wreckless, why do people like her so much?

 

[Doomed_hero]

hER CHARACTER WASNT TO INTRESTING TO ME IN THAT SEASON IT WAS NOT TILL LATER THAT I FOUND HER INTRESTING, BUT I DONT WANNA SPOIL IT FOR YOU.

 

[Doomed_hero]

she gets quite a bit of characterization and becomes one of the most fleshed out character in the Buffyverse. She was originally meant to represent a contrast difference from Buffy. Her best episodes will be when she appears in Angel

And in addition to all that, she's freakin' HOT.

Five by Five is my favourite ever Angel ep, it's just superb. The Faith/Angelus arc in season 4 is my favourite ever bit of Angel. The beauty of Faith (and what beauty!) is that she goes from good to bad to good again and you totally buy it, there's no corny road to the Damascus conversion.

My top five;
Bad Girls
Orpheus
Five by Five
Salvage
Sanctuary

 

[Hush]

Guess I'll give her a break but I'm still unsure on her right now.

ditto! I loved Five by Five so much, especially her break down at the end. She really let herself be vulnerable and you could understand just how damaged yet fragile she is. I loved how they brought Buffy in with the following episode and did a role reversal with Buffy playing the role of the b-tch and Faith the victim. The season 4 episodes were so good bc the budget had increased by then and the fights and special effects were so much better. I loved her 3 episode arc there and only wish it were more. Its too bad she had signed on for Tru Callings, bc I always wondered how the proposed Faith series would have panned out

 

[Iron Man]

I resumed my Buffy watching today after a while of...well, not watching. I just finished "Reptile Boy", which wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. A bit lame in places, but mostly pretty enjoyable.

Yes, what might have been? But I totally understand why ED or any of the Buffy stars might have wanted a change after such a long running series

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

i always hoped that Faith would appear in the last season of Angel. in a way, it was Angel that helped Faith come to her senses and be good again. i think it'd be fitting that she would help Angel and the gang as the season ended.

 

[KnightBat]

Faith should have been made a regular. Angel always seemed like the show where the Buffy side characters go to be fleshed out and serve more of a purpose ie Cordelia, Wesley, Faith, heck even Oz seemed like he fit in better with Team Angel.

 

[Doomed_hero]

Angel seemed like the pace the lost souls of Buffy went nd that is as it should be. Cordy left her faily and home behind to find a fresh start, Wes was alone and cast out whn angel found him. Faith was at heartbreaking point, not to mention Angel himself.

Angel was always the more mature show to me. Buffy had some verydark moments, but lways the safety net of friends. Angel seem to wrk without that, with this group of lost souls coming togeher to to fight a neverending fight.

Angel needed his own show to reach those depths. Hell Spike needed to to. They both needed to get out of Bufy's shadow. Ohhh to have another season of ther "sibling rivlary"

Maybe you can have too much of a good thing, too much of Faith might have taken away the edge to her character?
Yeah, loved Spangel although I don't know how much longer it could have continued

Actually the best way to watch is to start Angel and watch it concurrently with Buffy season 4, there are numerous crossovers

Did you get the Complete Box Set? I originally had seasons 1-4 on big DVD sets but sold those on Ebay and went and got the box set, which is a must for any Angel fan

 

[jasontodd]

So glad I found this thread. I was a die hard Buffy fanatic for years, and own all the seasons and have watched them multiple times. I really miss the show as well as Angel, and I'm so envious of guys like Iron Man and Hush who are watching it with fresh eyes. You have such a wild ride in store for you enjoy it. Also Hush that's great that you and your lady are watching them together. My ex and I used to do the same thing and it was a very fond memory I have of that time.

I tried convincing my girl but she just wants to get through Buffy and watch Angel, second. SO i'll just do that. haha.
