Oh, snap! The WB was probably the only network I watched between 1997 and 2000, lol. Although I drew the line at 7th Heaven and the "comedies."

Buffy Seasons 1-3 = awesome.

Season 4 = transitional but still good.

Season 5 = Over-rated.

Season 6 = good but depressing.

Season 7 = hot mess.

Angel Season 1 = really enjoyable.

Season 2 = A-MA-ZING. Loved Darla's return.

Season 3 = equally great.

Season 4 = Holy [!@#$%^&*]! Awesome couple of episodes. Then there was the Connor-Cordy sex. :blink: Then Cordy turned evil. Yay! Uh, then she got A. pregnant and B. fired. Boo! The show seriously lost its way. Until the promising last episode.

Season 5 = totally squandered a great set-up by not bringing back Lilah or any of the other familiar Wolfram & Hart characters. Don't even get me started on the disappointing series finale.

I agree with everything except that I loved the finale. What was best about it was that it left before the big fight. It would have been too much like the Buffy ending if everything was wrapped up in a neat little package. They really should make a big screen movie! The worst part for me though was Wesley dying, it makes me weep, lol. Wesley is my all time favorite character because of his growth and evolution from his first appearance on Buffy to the bad ass Demon fighter at the end of Angel.

And that's another hint that would indicate B&B isn't the show she visited, since she mentions no hiatus. Although it's not the traditional hiatus that prime time shows would have of several months off, B&B does regularly shut down in August and December, plus the extra week off you mention for most of the year. Also, she mentions that the soap she visited has four directors each handling one day of the week. B&B's directors work in 3 episode cycles, with Michael Stich, Deveney Kelly and Cynthia Popp having the lion's share with others like David Shaughnessy coming into the rotation as needed. Since B&B tapes 2 episodes a day, each director would have to work more than a single day to do his/her three episodes, and that doesn't match with what she described.

Taylor Townsend :wub:

Autumn Reeser :wub:

The refocus of the show to Seth & Summer as the rooting couple and the addition of Taylor is why i love the fourth season.

However, going back to Jane Espenson, i just watched her commentary on Angel season 1 for rm w/ a vu. amazing.

Awww, Taylor Townsend! You know what I liked? TT was a stuck-up bitch, and they transitioned her into a self-consciously nerdy, Type-A but warm-hearted heroine. And they did it seemlessly. AR never made it seem like a ret-con.
