I thought it was kind of a lame excuse to have Angel come back. "Buffy's in danger! From . . . the sort of thing she deals with all the time. Must go help!" Maybe if it were a really big bad evil, but a vengeance spirit? I think the gang had it taken care of. 😉
Well the writers were desperate for a crossover, lol.
But seriously, I liked Angel crossing over. As long as he's not moping at Buffy's side I really like him, and he adds a lot of comedy.
It's obvious that this crossover was only done to get the whole IWRY storyline rolling, why else would Buffy have gone to LA, but hey, I just had an interesting thought. What if the reason why Doyle got the vision about Buffy was so that Angel would go see her, Buffy would then in turn come to LA and Angel would subsequently become human? Do you think this could've been a scheme of the Powers That Be to redeem Angel, he just refused?
And I think Angel jumped at the chance to see Buffy. Even though he KNEW it was too soon to come back..which is why he stayed hidden from her. 😉
Skytteflickan88 agrees: Well, if higher powers tells you that your love in in trouble, you go and help her.
lol the crossover just made mo more sad knowing he wasn't gonna stay or be a permanent part of Buffy's life anymore 😀 that's just me though but im good now 🙂I didn't think it was ironic. 🙂 I was a complete Bangel back then so I was heartbroken when he left, and the crossovers gave me a happy. 😉
I understand Angel's motivation. I meant it was lame on the part of the writers. Couldn't they come up with something a little more world threatening than that?
Anyway, Pangs is not one of my favorite episodes. It was kinda boring.
