Was Angel A Good Man?

I don't believe, at all, that it has ever been the intention of the producers of Buffy to portray Buffy/Angel as something planned or sinister.

I'm going by the series here (and I'm about halfway through S8, so I am reading the comics), but Whistler guided Angel towards Buffy to protect and help her, not for them to sleep together. If I'm remembering correctly, the whole thing revolved around a prophecy regarding Acathla, which ultimately came to pass when Angel lost his soul.

Plus, going from commentaries from Joss Whedon, namely the "Chosen" one, he's spoken about how Buffy/Angel is an important romance, as have a number of the actors. Also, going from what @Janos said, there was nothing plotted to have them fall for one another either.

In the most basic terms: they were meant to meet each other, even aid each other in battle, but falling in love was not planed or foreseen. No act of God made it so, they just did, inexplicably. Like all great love stories.
[MENTION=9316]ladydorotea[/MENTION] - When I was talking about Communist slogans, I only meant that every evil deed can be described as good one. Another example: right now Putin's administration proclaims that they turned Russia into "energy super-state" - which, in reality means that my country was turned into a source of oil and gas for the industries of other countries. I may be a cynical person; when somebody promises great things, I always wonder what's the catch. To me, Whistler created his own morality where humans are just means to achieve greater purpose. And he had somehow converted Angel into his worldview.

[MENTION=11975]Always Bangel[/MENTION] - I hope you'll share with us your impressions on the season 8 when you finish reading it! The last two arcs are the most interesting and the most controversial. As you see we can't stiop arguing about them even several years after the release.
