The comics sound like a total clusterfuck. I'm really only interested if they bring back Tara. And why not? They brought back damn near everyone else who died in that season.
And now I have the mental image of Spike calling Angel a vampire hipster.
I was referencing an episode of Season 7. Buffy responded, "Oh my God, are you 12?"
Angel was more likable (although still occasionally frustrating) on the spin-off, but I found him rather insufferable on Buffy. The entire "I'm tragic" shtick got old really quickly.
Oddly enough, I thought he was pretty cool in Seasons 2 & 3, & that subsequent seasons would have been better if he stuck around. It didn't help that I really didn't give a dick about Spike until Season 7, when he finally stopped acting like a prat. For the most part, I mean, he was funny sometimes.
Haven't seen Angel. It's not airing at the moment, & I've heard it kinda sucks.
