Uh-oh, don't get me started on that first fight scene in the first ep of season 5......
Or the move from real-time to slo-mo that was so effective....

Saving it for later Chrisisall

I Will Always Remember you. Is without a doubt an Angel episode, but Buffy came in there like the mentioned heroine that she is, with a sort of presences, and for some reason, I was impressed with her right off even though I hadn't learned about her yet.
I stopped at Angel, season 2 and went to watching Buffy from season 1 to season 4 (yes I know I said I would stop at season 3 Chrisisall, but I couldn’t resist) and I got a good bit of Buffy's history to the point where I could first empathies with her, and then learned to love the character.

I Will Always Remember you. Is an Angel episode in its own right. Buffy provides the foundation to the whole show, but it is Angel that carries the story through. I must confess that I have watched this episode of Angel 5 times now, and each time I cry many tears. The forbidden love between Angel and Buffy is of a tragic sort. It's clear that they love and need each other, but to give into that love leads to pain and sorrow.

I Will Always Remember you Is a great episode and a total soap- opera, but it’s an episode not to miss.

P.S. As for Buffy, she's my new all time hero.

Well, I can certainly understand that, RiveR. I'm doing season two now, for only the second time. It keeps getting better.

I can't wait to hear your comments for seasons 5 thru seven...

Playful Chrisisall

No way. Not any particular problem with this ep, I loved it, but with Buffy eps like
Once More With Feeling
The Body
Becoming
Hush
Restless
Fool For Love
The Gift
....
It just can't fit that high

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'm like you; I well up every time I see it. I think what gets me the most is all the stuff that NO ONE else will remember, but that Angel will remember all alone, with no one to share it with, all the feelings and love he's willing to give up.

It *did* seem like it was the show's way of making a clean break with Buffy's show, so "Angel" could find an identity and direction all its own. Can't imagine a much better way to do that, than with one last great fling, only to have it all yanked away yet again.

I LOVE Angel and got into it when it was showed on TNT a while back when season five was on the air as new episodes. But I have this first season on DVD. I love this episode and yes, tears follow every single time I watch it. That moment at the end where Buffy cries makes me choke up and feel her pain. SMG is a fantastic crier, she looks sad, vulnerable her huge eyes all tear filled and she still looks pretty. Not like all the rest of us look that good when crying. And then to save her Angel has the day taken back. Ohhhh. It was like some others have said a final fling, here is Buffy and Angel together at last and they can get all fleshy and no one is going evil this time. I love the scene where he walks into the sunlight to her and then with no words spoken between them he takes her in his arms and kisses her.
yeah I'm a hopeless romantic and yeah I'm in love with Angel too. (Along with Mal of course)

Speaking of episodes that made me cry in Angel The 100th episode ( the title is not coming to mind at the moment) Hole in the World and the other connecting episode and Never Fade Away the finale. I not only got teary but I sobbed! Sobbed. Okay so I am a sap, but after all this time getting to know the chracters I felt for them and to see what happened to some of my favorite ones made the waterworks come on. I love Angel, Cordy, Wes, Fred especially. Ohhhh. To go back to the begining when you know how it ends.

You're Welcome. Oh, and... y'knkow... you're welcome. :) That one gets me every single time, too. As much as we loved to hate Cordy on Buffy, I grew to love her in Angel. And to have to say goodbye her in "You're Welcome" just tore me up more than I ever thought it could.

These shows ARE soap operas. That makes them a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, but it sure as hell doesn't diminish my pleasure at watching them. As of one year ago, I'd never seen a single episode of Buffy, Angel, or Firefly. Now, I've bought them all on DVD and watched every single ep at least twice. Most of 'em I've watched three times. They're still good, still watchable, and I still cry when Joss wants me to cry. That either makes Joss a very, verrrrryyy good storyteller, or it makes me the un-manliest 6'8", 250-pound 43-year-old man on the planet. Maybe both.
