Ouch. I made it to the end, and am bursting with thoughts. I'm gonna have to print this out and make notes on it before I can do that.

Brilliantly done, I think. Though I might disagree with some things (like Spike being the hero in Angel Season 5) which I'll get to in my long response, I think you got the heart of the matter.

But I had to read all the extra essays too. Do I get two stickers? And are they Spike/Buffy stickers? Or Wes/Lilah? Or Wes/Fred? Or even Illyria/Xander (joke)?

Until I return - well done.
