Earthling's opinions were such a delight to read, and as someone who also came to the show somewhat late and watched it without much influence from other fans, they echo a lot of mine. I'd love to hear his thoughts about Faith and the Mayor in season three- the Mayor is probably my favorite Big Bad, although Angelus was a close second. 100% agreed with Earthling on that count - Angelus is far more fun than Angel! I did end up a Spuffy shipper, though. The first episode I ever saw was Something Blue, and I'm a sucker for a bickering couple. 😅
