Yeah, I Got Issues With What's Going Down, Among Other Things
Something has been bothering me for a while.
And it's not about certain fanboys who use twitter as their own direct line to tattle to the comics writers about how awful those evil, maniacal Spuffies are being.

I understand what you're asking, and it's got me stumped, too. The only time I recall Angel even being mentioned after early Season 4 was when he briefly popped in for Joyce's funeral, then the offscreen meeting at a Motel 6 in the desert so Buffy could show him that she'd crawled out of her grave (details unavailable to the viewing audience), then the "Why can't you kill Anya, Xander? I killed Angel, and I loved him da mostest" comment that she hollered, and then nothing more until FOX ordered Whedon to make Angel a guest star on the final BtVS episodes. (And I imagine that FOX did that solely to promote Angel's show, not because they thought that Buffy was ultimately all about Angel.)
I think your theory about the TV version of BtVS Season 8 is correct; that's likely where they would have gone, if for no other reason than because Whedon would have still been restricted by a special effects budget. I suspect that he's doing this Bangel In Space thing for shock value rather than for romance -- he thinks it's funny to get the two shipper factions all riled up.
