Give me the shivers.
Love Angel, Love Firefly, Like (a lot) Buffy.

Wesly's death seriously got to me, and yes I DID cry. I did not WANT him to die. I was really starting to enjoy the dark broodiness of this character, and Illyria turning herself into Fred was one of televisions best moment of offering "A piece of Mercy" that I have ever seen, or maybe I just don't get out much...who knows?

The 1st and maybe even the second season of BtVS comes off as rather "Kiddy" in nature, but from the 3rd season on the show takes on a more serious adult theme, and by the 5th and 6th season one finds themselves totally immersed in the BtVS universe to the point of complete soap opera frenzy. Put simply, BtVS got better which each season, but you have to admit that season 1 and 2 where pretty much tiny-bopper shows. I admit that 1 & 2 are good shows, but they are in no way compare to the drama of the rest of the seasons; I'm sure you understand that.

I must totally agree. And that's another reason it's all so interesting; it grows up!

See, I think season 2 was the best of Buffy. From Surprise onwards it's the most emotionally invested I've ever been in a show, and rewatching the episodes still makes me tear up (and I'm really not usually the type). I think a truly mature show is one that pulls you in emotionally, even the themes aren't ones so often faced in adulthood. And for me, at least, season 2 fits the bill.

I also loved the end of Not Fade Away. How much more inspirational can you get? Angel signs away his humanity, and leaving him nothing to fight for (if one's still under the impression he was fighting to become human), and then keeps fighting for good anyway. Color me fanboy, but damn. I love it.

I loved the end of angel, I hated that it ended but I thought it was sublime in it's handling of the issues it covered. in fact the whole section from hole in the world to not fade away was my favourite part of angel overall, so I really don't understand how anyone can see it as pointless "it's better to have loved and lost," and all that...
