Hi,
The basic problem with both Buffy and Angel is that there wasn't a well developed and well limited universe worked out *from the start* to contain them. So, we start out with a world where vampires are real, then we add demons, werewolves, arts arcane both white and black, advanced technology, soulless vampires falling in love, etc. bloody (to quote Spike) etc. Pretty soon that particular stew has so many ingredients in it, it tastes as if it's been through the horse.
That said, I too am sad that these two shows are (or soon will be) over. From a medium that defines mediocre, they were well above the average.
