Different anon. I never liked Buffy and Angel together, it was not something I dared say out loud in fandom but I felt like they brought out the worst in each other and I was so relieved when he got his own series. Not even because I loved his series (because I didn't know I would at the time) but because it was really nice to see the doomed romance pretty much come to an end (especially since most other tv shows tend to keep those types of romances driving you insane for the whole series.)

I'm with you, except I felt it didn't conclusively end. I think that BTVS always kept teasing that maybe MAYBE they'd get back together because soulmates, or something.

I actually like the idea that while they may be attracted to each other, they are not actually a good fit and don't work. I don't think BTVS did that out of actual writing choice, but because Angel and BTVS ended up being on different networks.

And (going slightly OT now) I hate with a fiery passion the "omg, I love you so much but we can't be together." It crops up in some many shows, probably as a way of building angst and romantic tension, but it drives me batty. I always scream at the TV, "if you can't be together, then DON'T."

So yeah, I hear ya!

Well yeah I too felt like in a way Buffy/Angel was supposed to be endgame or like, Buffy was never supposed to love anyone as much as she loved Angel, but I'm glad both series kind of ended on their own without getting back into that (I know the comics revisited it a bit but I have no idea what is going on in the comics now and don't really want to.)

But even without the conclusive end, Angel having his own show just felt like it saved Buffy from turning into a complete romance cliche (not that Buffy would have to go in that direction, but even good writers can't always resist it.) It was really refreshing and nice to see them as individual characters.

"omg, I love you so much but we can't be together." It crops up in some many shows, probably as a way of building angst and romantic tension, but it drives me batty. I always scream at the TV, "if you can't be together, then DON'T."

ME TOO. Especially because writers tend to come up with all sorts of ridiculous ways for the couple to not be together, and the longer it goes on the more incompatible the pair ends up being. I never find it romantic and by the time those sorts finally get together (if they do) I'm pretty much bored of the characters along with their "romance."

I think they brought out the best in each other (and yeah, they were willing to sacrifice each other for the world which sucks, but is also the right thing to do).
