This ep had me in tears, as it was meant to.
How many of y'all were like me, and how many found it to be just a sappy season one entry, and wanted to get back to Angel, without Buffy hindering him?

I've already mentioned a bunch of times how much I loved this ep, but I'll say it again...I LURVED IT! Both David and SMG did a great job in the end...which was really what made the episode. It was very soap-y before that part with some REALLY cheesy stuff. Seriously, the ice cream on the chest thing? How manufactured did that look? (Although to give some credit, it was probably hard to get the ice cream to drip off the spoon at the exact right moment.) But I fully believed the ending. They sold me on the heartbreak. SMG has never put so much vunerability into Buffy as she did in that scene. And then to have it all taken away? That was heartbreaking as well. You expect to see some glimmer of rememberance in her and there's nothing. Ouch.

Other parts I enjoyed? Angel eating all the food. "I LOVE chocolate...and not, as it turns out, yogurt." So funny...and giddy Angel is cute Angel.

If it was a Buffy ep, would it make it into, say, your top five?

I don't think it would work as a Buffy ep if only b/c it doesn't fit within the framework of the show. There really is no Powers That Be or Oracles in BtVS. Both those elements of Angel are critical to the storyline of "I Will Remember You." Without them how do you turn back time and take the day away?

But...
Don't they exist all around? I mean, if it's in one show, it exists in both, doesn't it?

Isn't it ALL the Buffy/AngelVerse?

Actually Chris I'd say Angel did very well at maintaining an identity of it's own. I loved those early crossovers they used to do - it felt particularly cosy. However I always felt they managed the crossovers perfectly. This one felt like an Angel episode, inspite of the heavy Buffy story arc.

Having said that I didn't really blub over this one, I kinda always wanted Angel to move on from Buffy, so as we could take things up a gear, and while the story is intending to tug the heart strings I was rooting for Angel to whoop some demon ass!! I love a good metaphor as much as the next guy but Samson needed his hair! Angel needed his Vamp face!

:D

Agreed. Despite Buffy's presence, it was still Angel's turf. And it felt more like it was told from his POV, too.

Holy revelation Batman!!!

Chrisisall I just realised one of the fundamental reasons I wanted you to watch Angel in the first place....

.....For the stunt work of course.

D'ya realise we have five seasons of stunts to talk about This probably demands a new thread... It's a tad late presently but I shall endevour to strike one up tomorrow. I DO know this gives me a solid reason why I should start rewatching all those early seasons.

On your marks, get ready......
