I watched for Willow, Giles, Cordelia and Spike.

Angel was better sans Buffy.

Buffy got boring because they leaned into the child soldier and she just gave up trying to have any kind of normalcy in her life.

Then again its been nearly a decade so I could be misremembering.

I thought that from S5, after her mom and then she died, that it was the best part of the series. It stopped being as campy and showed much more character growth all around.

I used to joke that spike should vamp faith, then together they kill buffy and rename the show: Faith and Spike, the Vampires.

I'd be into that show for sure. Or Spike turns Faith and Buffy and they go off as a triad. Always thought Spike and Faith were better for Buffy than Angel.

Faith and Spike were the much cooler bearded-evil-dimension versions of Buffy and Angel, for sure.

Yeah, if they can’t get at least two out of Alyson Hannigan, Charisma Carpenter, Eliza Dushku, James Marsters, or maybe Alexis Denisof I’m not interested.

Charisma especially would be great as she got the shit end of the stick in Angel. I wouldn’t mind a better ending for Fred/Illyria as well.

Which raises the question of exactly where they’ll be picking up continuity: The end of Buffy? The end of Angel? The comics?
