And oh it’s brutal... but then it’s probably also very healthy.
Heeeeeee! You are so right. I love the way that Angel and Spike eventually make peace with each other, and how it works as a parallel for Angel making peace with himself. Both of these peacemaking efforts evolve gradually as the season progresses, and both strike just the right tone.
And I completely agree: Spike fits better on AtS than he ever did on Buffy. On both shows, he played a sort of shadow-self to the main character, but Angel wears the shadow much better. Spike is the embodiment of everything Angel both likes and loathes about himself, and his presence made S5 shine.
Have you read my fic Shanshu Blue? It's a meditation on Angel and his seven sons... :)
