| (Plebon2351 10/25) - "Buffy and Angel belong together! Besides, Buffy doesn't like Xander, at least not in that way. Buffy loves Angel and Angel loves her it would be wrong to leave him in hell. Just the thought of Xander kissing Buffy makes me want to
hurl! he's way to immature for her. He also already has Cordy! It would hurt Willow if Buffy and Xander got together. I know that Angel has killed alot of people but he regrets doing it now! Xander also lied to Buffy. Couldn't he have gotten over his jealousy for one minute to tell Buffy the truth? I hope that Buffy gets mad at him when she finds out what he did. Buffy obviously misses Angel and I think he should come back from hell. Buffy would be happy then. don't any of you care about Buffy's feelings? I'll end it here by saying that Xander looks good with Cordy and Buffy looks good with Angel. Why don't we just leave it at that?"
Can anyone say "Aaarrrgghhh!!!!". This person obviously either did not read anything on this website or chose to ignore it. What's worse is that they go through all this trouble of writing an entire paragraph citing many reasons why Buffy should choose Angel (not to mention emailing me directly as opposed to using the guestbook or messageboard) and how do they end/summarize their arguments? "I'll end it here by saying that Xander looks good with Cordy and Buffy looks good with Angel. Why don't we just leave it at that?"So basically your main point is based on physical features? I'll just play along. Let's say I accept your argument. My rebuttal is that YOU think Xander looks good with Cordy. YOU think Buffy looks good with Angel. Let's say I don't think those couple look good together. I mean, isn't beauty a purely subjective thing? So what are they (the couples) to do then? Two people have two different opinions. If both had said that they look good together then there's no problem? If both had said that they don't look good together then they'd obviously split up, because what's the point of being together if they don't "look good" together? Right? Well, what DO they do? Let's even say that a majority of people think that those couple "look good" together. Who's to say they're right and I'm wrong? Or vice versa. |
| (Tash 10/13) - "Everyone on the show is in a relationship. Willow-Oz,Xander-Cordelia and Buffy-Angel. So I feel this should not even be an issue. They belong together."
You say that they "belong together" and the only reason that you state is that "everyone on the show is in a relationship". Just because everyone "has someone" doesn't mean that it should remain so. There's something wrong with the relationship if the only reason they stay together is too keep the status quo. |
| (Reaper 10/15) - "This page should change its name because Angel is going to get his own show next season so they wont be going out."
Why is everyone so caught up with the title of this website? This will be the last time I address this issue. This website isn't concerned with how much money the show makes, what will happen to the show, how the viewers will react, etc. It is concerned with Buffy's feelings. It doesn't matter that Angel will have his own show and won't be a 'regular'. In Buffy's heart she still cares for him. So, until that changes Angel should always be considered. Angel could even 'die' in the truest sense and Buffy would still 'basically' have to choose between Angel and whoever. If people still don't understand or still disagree, then all I have to say is that this is MY website and I'll title it anyway I please! |
| (Mel 10/12) - "Buffy and Angel are the ultimate beauty and the beast relationship. The dark brooding come hither good looks of Angel and the sweet girl next door feel of Buffy is the whole attraction of the couple. The tension their love unfolds is the essence of the story. They should be together."
First of all, you say that B&A are the classic "beauty and the beast relationship". Then you contradict yourself by describing Angel as possessing a "...dark brooding come hither good looks..." That's not really what my definition/perception of what 'the beast' should look like. Second, your comments imply that the reason B&A should be together is because it is a romantic storyline. I've said this before. What does that have to do with two people 'getting together'? If two people love each other, but their relationship can't be categorized as a romantic storyline.....does this mean they shouldn't get together? |
| (Billy 10/9) - "All you people who think Buffy souldn't be with Angel and with Xander! You guys are gay, gay, and gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If she is happy with Angel then let her stay with him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
You're 24 years old? The key word in your statement is "IF she is happy..." Well, is she? Angelus will always cast a shadow upon Angel. And we all know what Angelus has put her through. |
| (Anonymous 8/29) - "I know it must seem obvious why a 16 year old girl would be Pro-Angel, but let me explain before excusing me with the "teeny-bopper-Tiger-Beat" kind of a deal. I think Angel would best suit Buffy because Xander and Buffy really don't have the boyfriend/girlfriend chemistry. Xander may like Buffy, but Buffy knew Xander before Angel really came into the picture and she really didn't want to date Xander because she really just wanted to keep it on a friends level with him."
People's feelings change all of the time. Buffy may not want to date Xander now, but who's to say that won't change? Maybe Buffy never gave it a second thought because of Willow's feelings. What if Willow finally 'gets over' Xander. Would Buffy's feelings change? Who know? |
| (Reid 8/26) - " First of all, everyone is saying that Angel has put Buffy through a lot of grief with tomenting her and killing her friends,but they should realize that Angel and Angelus are two different people. One has a soul and one doesn't. Buffy is not in love with Angelus, she is in love with Angel. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE. The sooner this is realize the easier the decision....(cut, see guidelines) "
So are you saying the next time Buffy meets Angel everything is 'peachy'? They will start where they left off, as if nothing happened, and live happily every after? |
| (Carolyn 8/24) - ".....And I don't think that Xander really loves her either, only thinks he does. After all, if he did love her he woulden't go around with Cordy now would he."
Just because someone is going out with a person doesn't mean they can't be in love with someone else. |
| (Lorelai 8/23) - "I don't truly believe that Xander loves Buffy. I think he *thinks* he does because, like many of us he wants what he can't have. Buffy is right to keep Xander as her friend, and not get involved. I think the ultimate romantic storyline would be for Xander to figure out that he DOES love the woman he has, CORDELIA! (and also, I think they're doggone cute together)"
Xander doesn't really 'love' Buffy. He only thinks he does, because he 'can't have her'. Kind of like Willow 'can't have Xander' or a relationship between Buffy and Angel 'will never work'? |
| (Jade 8/20) - "I think Buffy should end up with Angel, because Xander really loves Willow. He confessed it when she was in the hospital. She may not have heard him but he did say he loved her and she obviously loves him. Cordelia and Oz are just their second choice."
I vaguely recall what you are talking about and you bring up an interesting point. From what I can remember my initial reaction when Xander said "I love you" or whatever was that it was a platonic thing. Something you say if your mother or best friend was sick. |
| (Nancy 8/19) - "I agree with you that there is a big difference between Angel and Angelus, and Angel has all of what we hate in Angelus in him. However, he is just so sweet and tender when he is under his "gypsy curse". He's like the epitome of the guy from the wrong side of the tracks - no wonder Buffy is attracted to him. I think Buffy would be better off (meaning safer and more stable) with Xander, but I think she'd be happier and have more excitment with Angel! (Even though the excitment part may cause her a lot of heartache, you cannot enter into a relationship with someone "safe" just beacuse they are safe. It should be based on attraction)"
My only response is that attraction may or may not last. It can also change and you shouldn't enter into a relationship with someone "from the wrong side of the tracks" just because they are "from the wrong side of the tracks". |
| (Anonymous) - "....I also think you know that I don't know if because of that you think that Nobody can prove you wrong. Ithink you would be a lot better off if you just really look at the point your tring to get across. I also think that you need reminding that this is only a t.v. show and that your trying to interject your own"personal" life in to the situation. You know as well as I do that love is just not a convience that people get themsleves into. If it was just that then it wouldn't be love......"
Yes I know that I get all 'pissy' and carried away. I get 'pissy' because I am naturally easily irritated. I don't get angry easily, but I do get irritated very easily. In this instance I get 'pissy' because people keep saying the same comments over and over even after I've responded to the exact same comment numerous times before. I DO realize that it is only a TV show. However, I see no point in debating something if you only do it half-heartedly. The probable reason why I interject my own personal life (how can you be so sure that I do?) is because that is the only thing that I can draw from. As for your last comment, why can't that apply to Xander? Xander didn't 'mean' to 'fall in love' with Buffy. It just happened. Instead people say that Xander just likes Buffy because he 'can't have her'. |
