I think they both acted really lame, rooted for noone.
When I first watched it, I was rooting for Angel because I didn't like Riley, but watching it now, I root for Buffy to kick both their sorry butts.
I'm a Bangel, I've always been since the show started so I voted Angel. I just dont agree that Riley had any right to start a fight with Angel. Riley had been told that Angel went evil after Buffy slept with him, so was Riley's attacking Angel saying that he didnt trust Buffy.
You make a point, and I'm not attacking you I would just like to kindly point out that i think Riley had the right not to trust Buffy because she didn't tell him about how she and Angel had sex, even though she told Riley that he knew everythign about Angel. I liek Angel on his own show, and I liked Bangel back in seasons 1 and 2, but It hink he was out of line in this instance, but I think Buffy was the worst here.
I can see were your coming from, but just because Buffy didnt tell Riley about Angel's trigger didnt mean that Riley shouldnt trust her. This is what Riley says to her:
Riley: And, after that, I went a little nuts! You know? I mean . . . On the one hand . . I should believe in us. But on the other . . Sometimes things happen between exes and when I saw that he was bad. . .
He even says himself that he should have believed in their relationship but he didnt. And I'm surprised Buffy wasnt more offended at Riley's accusation.
