What I enjoyed most about Angel is the development of Wesley's character. Alexis is soooo good at it!!
I think it's a great show-some stronger seasons than others,but I was sad to see it go.
As far as the BDM-LOVED it! I was introduced to a whole wealth of new characters and premise. Made me buy Firefly the next day and OBSESS over it!
So,to sum up,Joss rocks!

I knew this was your thread, man. I just knew it (even though I discovered it a month and a half after you first posted it)!
Glad you're enjoying S2. It's my personal favorite. Strongest storyline, most interesting plotting, I think it's the best season for the development of Angel as a character too.
I hope you didn't read ALL of these spoilers because...well you're spoiled. Just my opinion, but I think if you read all of these then some of the more interesting character developments and intriguing elements of plot won't have the impact they could. I think this thread has more than just "speedbumps" (like that term), but one person's speedbump is another person's huge spoiler.
I think 3,4, and 5 are weaker on story arc and stronger on the characters that aren't Angel. The thing I think of most when I think of 3,4, and 5 is the evolution of Wes. To me that's the the most compelling element of these seasons. I have a LOT to say about 3,4, and 5 but I won't get into it because you know enough already.
And like every Joss episode there's going to be something to get out of it--a line, a moment, an interesting idea--something to make you say "even if I didn't like that episode, I liked this part".
I suppose by now you've finished S2. Is switching over to BUFFY 6 still the plan?

And Buffy 6 remains a possibility, but not an immediate necessity, nothing can compare to 2 and 3 IMHO. My next most immediate needs are Battlestar Galactica, season 2.1, and The Flash!

We're in total agreement about 2 and 3. The DVD's for the rest are too much to shell out if you're lukewarm to them. But it would be good to someday rent the rest of the BUFFY and ANGEL saga. Just so you'll have the whole picture.
Plus Joss is going to write a post season 7 BUFFY comic book. If you have any interest in that it would be good to know what happened in S7. But you can get spoilers on that too.
One more enticement about BUFFY 7 and ANGEL 4...
Faith!
Anyway, sorry we won't be going through the rest of ANGEL and BUFFY with you but I hope you enjoy BG and THE FLASH.
Your Jossy pal,

Faith!
Is she just in a few eps, or most of the season?
(I loved her appearance in Angel)
Chrisisall, gettin' interested....

Faith is in, I think, the last five episodes of Buffy Season 7. She also has an awesome 3 episode run in Angel Season 4, preceding her crossing back over to BtVS. She plays a big role in the end of BtVS, and an important role in the course of Angel's season (Faith vs Angelus!)

What Stakethelurk said.
Getting interested huh...?
Uh-oh.

Well, great shades of season three! Like Nomad said, "I must re-eval-uate."
Maybe I should ask for the Chosen Collection for X-Mass, and say that it should be my ONLY gift!

DON'T STOP AT SEASON 3...
people here have said that s4 is weaker than the rest but I really don't think it is. its different, and dark, in the don't even try and watch it with the light on cause you won't be able to see a thing way.
but while buffy fluctuated up and down on quality, angel I thought, after a shaky start, just got better and better.
but I think you'd get much more enjoyment out of it without knowing spoilers. sure there's still plenty to get out of it when you do know whats happened and repeat viewing is great, but there's something amazing about being totally taken by surprise.
I just recently got all of angel on dvd, I've only had bits before and it's reminded me how great it was. I loved buffy, never thought I could love anything more, angel changed my mind, then there was firefly; and thats my order of preference...
