I always forget how enjoyable this episode is.

"We have to save Buffy from Hansel and Gretl!"

Hee! Such a fun ride after the angstfest of 'Amends'. Although it also highlighted one reason I like the later seasons more: Willow being all helpless and almost getting burned at the stake, when a couple of years later she'd have been able to get out of there by a flick of the wrist. I like my heroes to have some power! :)

But - onto my one and only point. There is more set-up for AtS:

Angel: Buffy, you know, I'm still figuring things out. There's a lot I don't understand. But I do know it's important to keep fighting. I learned that from you.
Buffy: But we never...
Angel: We never win.
Buffy: Not completely.
Angel: We never will. That's not why we fight. We do it 'cause there's things worth fighting for.


That right there is AtS is a nutshell, from 'City of' until 'Not Fade Away'. (Although of course Angel will have to re-learn that lesson about 5 million times. *pets him*)

He is probably more intellectual in some ways (the stuff about Baudelaire and being good at languages) but more intelligent? That's another thing.
