It's true--
I own all seasons of both Ats and BtVS. And every time I've planned on doing a marathon of some kind, something would get in the way. However, watching the reruns of Buffy on Oxygen on occasion, and now every morning on TNT for Angel...I'm finding the fandom love [again]. I've found a squee I hadn't realized was missing. Currently, I

Wait--you don't watch Buffy reruns either? Heh, those are the ones I'll sort of watch :P
Judging by my f-lists lack of posts...I'd say we aren't the only ones losing fandom love. Personally, I think we need a spike (er, no pun) in fan fic and put out something different (which is another reason I'm working on my Kendra/Spike, and also a Buffy and Angel (not Bangel) one shot that takes place post her resurrection. I just think that...even though this fandom is more Spuffy oriented, we should broaden the scope for renewed interest.

I don't usually watch re-runs, I always go with my DVD's since I like to watch several episodes together - and I can't deal at all with commercials. I will be starting to watch Angel again, but really Buffy Season 8 really, IMO, did major damage to the character.

Angel--I have mad love for Angel. I don't know what's going on with the comics, but that wasn't my beloved character--no way.

I do love Wes - might well be willing to watch the early eps just to get a better idea of who he is. Also love Cordelia, Lorne, Fred....but Spike is my obsession.

I very much rec watching Ats from beginning to finish. In my personal opinion, it's a better show, and amazing when Spike's added as a permanent fixture. S5 is my fave season, but I love the show overall :)

The part with his "father" was sad, however. He didn't have to kill him to stop him from hurting Fred...I think we learned two things in that instance--that he was willing to do any and everything for her (and I'm still unsure as to why), and that deep down, he probably wanted his father dead. He could have gone to wound him--shoot him in a certain part of his shoulder to take out his arm--the one that was used to threaten Fred. Instead, he shot him several times center mass--death kill.

The more years go by, the more I love Spike and his journey with Buffy. While I like having the comic seasons to read, I'm not sure that they have done anything to add to either series.
Angel After the Fall I think was a good project because that NFA ending I personally think did work as the next season - I wanted to know what happened after the ending at the alley. Angel's choices from his decision to take on TCoBT had a lot of questions, that I felt needed to be explored as the consequences of his choices. Season 8 - to me that is still one great big mess.

S7...there are some fun eps that season. Actually, the only thing I can think of is "Storyteller," which is a favorite of mine :)
