Oh wow! haha! I'm not gonna kill you! :-P I'm fine with you feeling differently from me about fandom things. I'm a big believer in "agreeing to disagree" about things, since I am stubborn and hate when people try to convert me to things in most instances lol. Besides, I can totally understand what you mean. I have to admit, I loved Angel and Buffy MUCH more when I was a little teenybopper watching as the show aired. I watched a few season 1 and 2 episodes recently and I was almost gagging. LOL!
Go sleep! More fandom talk later! ;-) Sweet dreams!!
Angel and Buffy didn't work well for me partially because Buffy was such a typical high-schooler in earlier seasons, despite being the Slayer, and Angel was beyond adult in age (beyond in age...SRSLY) and prior relationships. It would have bothered me had she hooked up with Spike then too. Or any other vastly more-experienced partner.
I totally understand. I've had giant crushes on/ been in love with teachers since Middle School, so the Buffy/Angel business made me hopeful that they would feel the same way back, lol (That explains the Buffy/Giles fascination as well *g*)! Have I mentioned yet that I'm an utterly hopeless idealist?? ;-)

It just didn't feel likely or plausible to me.

But Angel, to me, was like... that 24-year-old with the Camaro picking up cheerleaders.
