As for "vamps w/souls," in early years I found Angel's story more compelling than Buffy's for he WAS repeatedly tempted by his own instincts. Plus, Angel was NEVER tamed like Spike, he still had a major dark side that got unleashed. In fact, HATED Angel series UNTIL recently when the whole Darla temptation of Angel arc began, way cool. Especially scene w/Darla furious that sleeping w/HER didn't trigger curse of Angelous like it did with Buffy. True happiness continues to elude my tragic Angel. -- At The Bayberry

In reply to: Pilar 's message, "Ophelia, ICAM, Riley bored me to tears, as did entire "innitiative" mess. So glad, JW got back on track to focus on slayer powers, what makes Buffy TICK is great as it ties into Spike in some ways understanding a slayer BETTER than Giles or anyone else. That whole "death wish" insights was fascinating especially NOW as Buffy has to face REAL death of someone she loves, her mom. What a heartbreaking episode." on 06:07:30 03/16/01 Fri

Sure, I think Spike's sarcasm is often as hilarious as Todd's quips. However, for me at least, Angel is far close to Todd character, tragic & raging at his fate, searching for redemption, and wanting a little taste of �elusive� happiness to call his own� yet often giving into the dark power within! Yep, I see lots of Todd in Angel, including recently when BOTH displayed �pussy whipped� tendencies, though Angel kicked this BAD HABIT, hopefully Todd will too! *VBEG (NT) -- Pilar, 06:16:48 03/16/01 Fri
