I only really got into Buffy/Angel the last two years or so after buying the complete box sets for my g/f and as anyone who read my 'official' threads on the old forum will know, the effect it had on me was fucking shocking. I watched ever episode of Buffy over a couple of months, then did the same with Angel. Then, rather nerdily, after buying the new Angel set last october, I downloaded air-dates and watched both shows intertwined as they were originally shown.[8|] In fact only just finished that epic journey about three weeks ago. The two shows are, put simply, works of genius. Obviously, Buffy just pips it for consistency/quality but Angel was so unfairly taken off the air that we'll never know where it may have gone. I've since watched Firefly, Serenity (excellent) and read Fray (again, excellent). Whedon is a Semi-God. Fave season of Buffy is probably three as it is consistent across the boards (individual episodes, arcs, big-bad, opener, finale etc), but most of these aspects are bettered in other seasons (best big bad: Angelus/Spike (2), best arc: season 5/6, best individual episodes: Hush (4), The Body (5), omwf (6) ). Seeing the likes of Alyson Hannigan now pissing around in shite like 'Date Movie' actually saddens me. Fingers crossed for 'Unholy' with Nick Brendon to capture some of the since underused talents on this show.
