thanks for keeping this up. I pretty much agree except to say that although Sanctuary is a great episode , I have real problems with Buffy`s behavior. Lot of spoiled brat going on there, Angel is completely behaving like himself in saving Faith, and she should kinda know that he would never get involved with Faith. You could never convince me that Angel wouldn`t know right away if it was Faith in Buffy`s body. And he knows her well enough to call her out on her behavior and her real reason for running to LA is more revenge than saving Angel, it`s not like she`s done it before.
I love that although he loves her, he`s not taking any crap from her and not backing down, it`s such a different dynamic than her relationship with that poor sap Riley.
And when she throws that up in his face, I wanted to hit her.
``Angel: That's great, it's nice. You moved on, I can't; You found someone new. I'm not allowed to, remember? I see you again, it cuts me up inside, and the only person I share that with is me. You don't know me anymore, so don't come down here with your great new life and expect me to do things your way. Go home.
Buffy: See? Faith wins again``.
just made me want to go grrrrh.

I love any episode with Faith and Angel, they have a great completely non romantic relationship.

Also,parting gifts. To this day I miss Doyle.

Thanks for reading, and for sharing your thoughts! I'm not a big fan of Buffy in Sanctuary. She is lashing out in an immature way to what she perceives as a slight from Angel. Not one of her finer moments.
