    Nancy Holder seems to ruin anything for the Spuffy fan so im not sure if i want to read anything "Angel and Buffy true love forever" in the book....

    and they always seem to be biased for the Bangel side , i mean, check out all th Watcher’s guide... theyre all "Buffy and Angel! WHOOT!"

    Well, in a sense he is. Take into account the 100 years or so he spent in Hell after Buffy ran him through wiht the sword at the end Buffy season 2...

    Sounds interesting, i’m going to have to pick up a copy. Angel is 350 if you count the 100 years he spent in hell.

    He has an Oedipus complex cos he killed his father, as his first act of becoming a vampire, and then slept with his mother, or the nearest thing, as Darla was his sire. Julie Benz even said in an interview that she tries to play both his Mother and his Lover.
