Why Whedon chose to have the ship piloted by cockroaches I have no idea.
I think it's because they are the ultimate survivors - cockroaches and Spike. My first thought when I saw the ship and the crew was that they had just barely escaped another apocalypse.
The writers are showing me this in an attempt to make me feel sympathy for Angel or think he can be redeemed?
Angel vaguely reminded me of Captain Hammer in "Dr. Horrible", especially when he splashed the slayers with blood.
This is ironic, because the relationship that has been repeatedly bashed in the comic and the character that is being repeatedly bashed is Angel and Bangel. They are not treating that relationship with any respect whatsoever. (I can't speak for the fanboards, but fanboards and writer interviews are distractions.
The problem is that Allie and Jeanty told repeatedly that Twilight arc is a gift the Bangel shippers; that their reunion is a wonderful thing. I don't know if it was a a complete misunderstanding of the story or a marketing ploy, but all the interviews assured the fandom that space-frak is something positive we should enjoy and root for.
