a question for the Buffy fans on my flist

[melayneseahawk]

So, I've been devouring watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I've gotten to the point where Angel spins off. How should I watching the show from here on? Should I alternate episodes? Watch a season of one, and then a season of the other?

Also, is it work trying to get my hands on any of the comic books once I finish the shows?

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Husband has been enjoying the comics. No idea how hard they might be to get ones hands on.

I found Angel to be a stupid show. Husband might argue for a few seasons of it.

Argh. I wish I could remember more details of what happened when in Buffy. I liked it into the college years. I really liked her college boyfriend and his subplot. I really, really disliked the Dawn developments, but I am not the only one. I stopped watching much later, but I don't really want to say when because I don't know how unspoiled you are for the later seasons. Wait! Maybe I can figure out which season it was! *time passes* I gave up in about the middle of Season 7. There are plausibility issues all along the way - like why would the Council of Watchers not provide for the room and board of the Slayer, for instance, since she can't really hold down a normal job - but there were still lots of fun times well into Season 6, anyway.

I'm pretty much completely unspoiled, which is remarkable, I know. I'm dragging out the last few episodes of season 3.

I know Angel isn't very good--I've caught an ep or two on TNT--but I have a stupid crush on Boreanaz-as-Angel, so I'm going to watch the show anyway.
