*cracks knuckles* Okay, having watched Angel season one and half of season two live, only having seen 'The Zeppo' on Buffy... Character-wise I remember being all in on Doyle and because of that Doyle with Cordelia. I really disliked Wesley, felt completely apathetic toward Angel, and I must've been a big Kate fan because my favorite episode was 'Sense and Sensitivity.' I remember disliking the Buffy crossovers except for the Faith ones--going to assume I didn't see 'In the Dark' because of a preexisting love of Seth Green. And there was no issue with understanding the world, as far as I can remember. I remember being super into the cop aspects. That's what a fourteen-year-old thought on the matter.

I think I mentioned this in a comment earlier in the season, but I'm one of the ones who watched (part of) Angel before watching Buffy. I actually watched it in the most ridiculous order because I first caught part of Season 4 in syndication after school on TNT. Season 5 hadn't finished airing yet, so when Season 4 finished, the next episode I saw was the pilot, and it was only *then* that I realized that the show I was watching was a spinoff of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Season 1 of Buffy was also playing in syndication at the time (on FX in the mornings while I was getting ready for school), so I started taping Buffy in the morning so that I could watch it and whatever Angel episode was playing that day back-to-back when I got home. As a result of this completely insane watch order, I'm pretty sure I liked Angel while watching Buffy more than I would have if I hadn't already gotten to know him somewhat from his own show. I thought Spike was a funny one-off villain in "In the Dark" and was pleasantly surprised when he showed up in Buffy Season 2. I remember that when Kate told Angel to go to hell in "Lonely Hearts" and Angel said "Been there... done that," I thought something like, "Oh, that's interesting, I guess all vampires have been to hell at some point." (That was not, in fact, what that line meant, as I would learn at the end of Buffy Season 2 haha.) I didn't have any strong feelings about Cordy, though she grew on me a lot as I watched both shows and saw how much she had grown and changed.

I just came to say I cant wait! Even though the same universe at times it feels like its own. Angel as a show is fun and dark.
