Season 6 is my favorite season. I'm not even going to go into favorite episodes for that reason. I just like the season as a whole.

I really did enjoy the last two seasons of Buffy even though those are the most hated. I think Buffy's speechifying should've been cut in half and I find myself rooting for Faith during the latter half. I'll post more later. Otherwise, my post will become a novel. (and I"m in my 20s).

I really love all the seasons of "Buffy" and am mostly a fan of the first two seasons of "Angel".

My favoite characters are Angel, Spike,Giles, the alternate world Willow, Gunn, and Doyle even though he only lasted a few episodes.
I have to admit, I like Angel more when he is Angelus, his evil side is pretty cool.

But my all-time fav (next to Buffy) is Faith (5x5, baby)

I didn't really get into the "Buffy"-verse until I was 20, I'm 24 for now and am glad for syndication, got to have my Buffy fix every-now-and-then.

"I really did enjoy the last two seasons of Buffy even though those are the most hated."

The last two seasons seemed a mirror of the last few seasons of the X-files. I liked a few of the episodes, and even the last few that involved the collection of slayers and the destruction of the Hell-mouth once a for all. I myself didn't really hate them. Just seemed to me like some of the episodes were more depressing than the earlier ones.

-mx-

I even like "Beer Bad". No, there wasn't any slaying, but it was very funny. When Buffy threw the fire extinguisher, then couldn't understand why it didn't work. Also "Hush". Scary and funny. In Giles' presentation. "How do we kill them?" Buffy made the stabbing gestures. Then she was upset about the size of her hips in the drawing Giles made of her. "Anne". When she spun around on the post. She would make a good stripper. lol. As for "Angel", I especially like the final season. Illyria was funny. "I've been hitting the half-breed. He makes noises".

"Chosen" had a lot of my favorite moments: Giles, Buffy, Willow, & Xander talking about not how they are going to conquer it but what they plan on doing afterwards. Then, Giles says "The earth is doomed...again" when they leave for their posts. The reference to the pilot is what makes the scene.

I thought they redeemed Faith really well at the end of the series. She was still tough and cocky at times but had mellowed considerably. I was glad to see her back for the final arc of the show.

Favorite characters: Giles, Faith, Angel, Anya, & Cordelia.

"We destroyed the mall? I fought on the wrong side." hahahaha.
Angel likes Barry Manilow. lol
Other great episodes: "The Gift", "Bargaining 1 & 2", "Fool for Love". The Chinese Slayer's grace was awesome. "Seeing Red", "Two to Go", "Grave." All the episodes of "Angel" with Faith.
Who got tired of major characters dying? Anya, Cordelia, Wesley, Fred (although it was sort of like she was still alive.)
My favorite characters: Anya, Dawn, Willow, Wesley, Cordelia, Fred, Giles, Druscilla, Darla.
When Dru had the puppy and tried to get Spike to feed on it. "Open Wide." BUZZZZZZZ. lmao!
Do you know about www.slayage.tv.? Great site.
Two good books: "Reading the Vampire Slayer" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Philosophy: Fear and Trembling in Sunnydale".

I am a huge angel and buffy freak and been so long time. I was shocked to see that cordelia {charisma carpenter} was really the glue that held angel together. MY wife has the hots for spike {james marsters} and I would love rocking faiths world {eliza dushku}

side note for those that care... in real life westly and willow are a married couple.

Re: about Cordy holding Angel together

Deftinely! Cordelia grew as a character while on Angel. She was able to defend herself and was no longer comic relief. After watching Angel, I became a fan of Cordelia (whereas in Buffy, I didn't like her much at all.)

Iconclast: I'm going to check out slayage.tv. sometime The philosphiscal criticisms is what made me appreciate S4 so much more (and turned it into one my favorite seasons).The discussions of the group dynamics, feminism, etc. made me aware of the larger concepts going on. I learned a lot from reading some of those.

Those two books I named have a lot of that kind of thing.

I know and I'm glad they're still together! They make such a cute couple!

Buffy and Angel, I could go on and on about these two. I've been a fan since the beginning when Angel was on Buffy and loved the Angel spinoff even more. Too many favourite episodes to list them. Infact, I loved them all on both shows. I think they were all very good, even when the critics didn't like the shows anymore. I hated the fact that Angel had to leave UPN but was just as good on the WB!

My favourite characters? I loved them all. Giles, Buffy, Angel, Wesley, Cordelia...who went from rich, pain in the ass to the warrior she became on Angel (in my own words of course!). She was really a key character in Angel and it was too bad when she was "killed" off. Anya, was always so hilarious with her sarcastic and "innocent" comments. She was a hoot!

I've been hoping that there would really be a movie to tie the two together again and give me that fix that I've soooo missed! But it's always good to catch them on reruns.

Plus I've always had a mad crush on David Boreaznaz (I know I probably spelt is last name wrong!). He was so good as Angel, dark and brooding and lover of Barry Manilow (whose music I'm not afraid to say I love)! I even had the screen savers on my computer of both Angel and Buffy!

I also like Harmony. When she threw the rock through Buffy's window with the note attached saying, "Slayer come out and die." And the dot over the i was a happy face. When she said to Spike, "Can we eat a doctor so I can get his stethoscope and hear my heart not beating?"

I read that WB wants to do a movie, but Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz are busy with other things, so the network wants the movie to feature Spike. James Marsters said he's willing as long as filming starts in the next few years. "Beyond that", he said, "I'm too old."
Matt Roush, critic with TV Guide liked both shows until the end. "....creativity is an endangered TV commodity, with contrived reality trumping the most inspired fantasies. Much of the mail I've received expresses fear that the networks have given up on shows that stimulate the imagination. That's why these people are so forecfully mourning the end of Joss Whedon's wild world of apocalypse and redemption."

Too many favourites to mention: First, though, I prefer to Buffy to Angel.

Fave episodes:
Becoming Pt 1 & 2 (great speeches)
Season 3 finale
Hush (those Gentlemen never fail to freak me out)
Once More with Feeling
Tabula Rasa
Storyteller (Andrew needs his own spin off. Seriously)
Chosen.

I could go on, but it's too early on Monday morning to recall more specific details....By the way, I'm 23 and I've been with Buffy since the beginning. It never gets old.

Thanks, eventide82. I like Buffy better than Angel too. Buffy had more humor, but I think the final season of Angel had a lot of funny moments. And with Spike and Harmony joining the show, Faith and Willow is some episodes, it partly made up for no more Buffy.
