I meant more than just the last season for Anya. There were some things she did that were great - the wedding arc up to her realization that she could no longer be a vengeance demon - so in some parts they used her well. But in general her purpose was comic relief through most of the series.

She should have been a resource all along. 1000 years of different demons and different dimensions - and they barely touch on it. I can see why in the Doylist sense. But Watsonian - what an amazing waste.

Not a big Andrew fan either - except for his crossover episodes I did like those. I would have far preferred less attention spent on new characters and more on the gang. And I am one of those who believe that Giles came back a pod person. One scene of him listing those he lost in the explosion would have softened that, IMHO. The kill Spike arc - while I truly love it - was really nonsensical.

And Spike does die, as well. It really diminishes his sacrifice if his resurrection in Angel is used to ameliorate that sacrifice.
