Message: <blockquote data-quote="WizarDru" data-source="post: 748248" data-attributes="member: 151">Well, I'm loving Buffy's current season, as well.  I personally think both shows are doing MUCH, MUCH better this season.  I nearly dropped Angel last year, at some points, and Buffy became very hard to watch, as well.  I think both shows lost their focus while Joss' attention was elsewhere...only reinforcing, in my opinion, that Joss is the driving force behind the show.Angel is trying to distance itself from Buffy, and it's darker attitude shows that.  The mixed up personal relationships are getting a little thick, though, I'll grant you that.  When people are talking about the relative merits of the two this season, I think part of the problem is that, for the first time, Angel has presented an apocalypse that actually feels apocalyptic, something that Buffy has never truly attempted on the same scale.  Blotting out the sun and a reign of fire over one of america's largest cities is a Big Deal (tm).  Mind you, I expect that now that the sun's back, they're going to disappoint me by not really showing any change to the world outside (despite the hundreds/thousands of deaths in the previous few days).Buffy, on the other hand, is wrapping up things very neatly, which I like.  The show will have a clean ending, I think, and is very aware of it's need for closure.  It also seems to have gotten some of the fun back into it, something that was dramatically missing last year, which seemed like one long, unending wake for the show.</blockquote>
