I thought that might be the case...

You know, I didn't watch Angel or BtVS from the beginning. Therefore, the big surprizes that occured, I generally knew about when I saw the episode (like, I knew Buffy's mom wasn't in the last ep, so when I saw her die, I wasn't surprized). I missed all the cool twists on both shows. Fortunatly, Angel's still on...but since I watched all the episodes out of order, and missed a bunch completley, I'll just never get the same effect of the show as someone who's been a loyal fan for five years. It sucks so much that I didn't get that chance with Firefly.

I mean, get that chance -yet-.

You know Steve580, that was the case for me too. I live in a small country in a remote part of the world where some shows (like Angel) however brilliant never make it to our TV screens. It took me until season 6 to get into Buffy. The whole glorification of vampires deal had been so done imho. I really didn’t need to see another show about vampires… or so I thought. Then I accidentally saw an episode one late night and I fell in love. Never expected it to be so funny. Anyway, to make a long rant short: I saw a lot of Buffy episodes out of order too but as it turned out that didn’t matter very much. Sure, it would have been better to see them in sequence. But with each individual show being so good, it still makes for an over all experience that is so much better than most shows you do see in the correct order.

Yeah, Steve, I had a lot of the same problems. My husband had already used "The Body" in his Teen Health class at school for his grief and loss unit before I'd ever really watched Buffy. It was the third ep I'd ever seen. (I'd watched "The Zeppo" when it first aired because Channon Roe was in it and had seen most of another S5 ep)

Other things still got me, though. I knew Jenny Calendar was no longer around, but I *never* expected what happened to her in "Passion". I knew how S2 was going to end and that Angel was going to have to come back, but I *still* got choked up. It's pretty amazing when writing can evoke that much emotion even when you can see what's coming.

Ooh, I hope you're right. I kinda came off as if I wanted one of them to be a goner, when I was just speculating.

Interesting theories, everyone.
