I cannot wait to see the First Pictures of Olsen as SW!
FixedKind of weird we get Scarlet Witch confirmation first when they've been talking about Quicksilver for the longest.
I can imagine the call SLJ will be getting today.
Marvel: "You weren't supposed to say that"
SLJ: "Don't talk to me about authority"
Marvel snipers: *pew pew*

What's wrong with Ronan?
(And Marvel never said anything about Ronan, either)
what's wrong is that she wasn't interested. they made it seem like she'd be the one taking on the role.

It wasn't a rumor. The same people who told us about Olsen said Ronan turned it down.No, they didn't. Marvel never said anything about her. There was a rumor that Whedon had her look in mind as a "prototype" when writing the character, nothing more.
Who?I like her look but what has she been in?
Olsen, but like I said, haven't seen a single thing she's been in.It wasn't a rumor. The same people who told us about Olsen said Ronan turned it down.

When is the last time you seen Ronan? She looked like she was 12 when she was 12. Now she is almost 20, and looks it. Unless of course you are using the 91210 version of "12".She looks like she's 12.

My attempt at doing it without checking failed. I apologize.Why are you mentioning the Glendale California Zip Code? Because it sure isn't Beverly Hills.

Glad to see both shows are getting some new fans t:
The best way to watch both shows to make the crossovers make sence is this:

Once Buffy Season 4 begins you watch an episode of Buffy, and then the respective number for Angel, Example: Buffy episode 1 > Angel Episode 1 > Buffy Episode 2 > and so on.
It's a shame most don't talk as much of Angel, when they recomend Buffy it's rare to see a mention of the Angel show, and even when people talk about Joss Whedon shows they generally mention only Buffy and Firefly. But the show is very good, not as good as Buffy but very close, it's a shame it ended before its time, but the good thing is that there is a comic book continuation.
About the comic books, the show of Buffy offered a good conclusion, so the comics are not exactly obligatory, However if you want to read more about the characters try them, Buffy had one called Season 8 which ran for 40 issues, while Angel had one called Angel: After the Fall, which ran for 16 issues + a miniseries called Spike: After the Fall, IDW published more comics of Angel after that, but they're not considered canon.
I haven't read it completelly but i heard Season 8 became a huge mess by the end, After the Fall is generally considered good for the most part.
After both series ended Dark Horse got the rights of Angel back from IDW and for their last series they did a Spike 8-issues miniseries that supposedly bridges the gap between Angel: After the Fall and Buffy Season 8.
The last series Darkhorse did with the franchise was release two 25 issues comics, which were Buffy Season 9 and Angel & Faith, i haven't been reading them for a while but the last time i saw they were strong, with Angel & Faith being better than the Buffy comic. To know which comics are part of the Season 9 wave you can check this:

Angel was like S3 of Buffy, in that it was more consistent in quality than the other Buffy seasons, with better chemistry among the cast. But it also never never managed to reach the emotional depth of S2, S5 and S6 of Buffy.I'm going to have to disagree with your premise. Angel isn't "not as good as Buffy." Angel is *better* than Buffy. It has better actors playing better written characters, with better overall quality of a story arc.
