really want to know what Joss said about Angel/Angelus.
You should hear it for yourself and watch his face. But it was...if memory serves: "Well, the mythology is structured in such a way that they are two different moral structures. The vampire is the human entity removed. But you are right - where does that leave redemption. David Greenwalt and I had numerous discussions about addiction, specifically alcoholism, and how people we and if you live in Hollywood or any profession really but especially this one, you know a lot of people like this - they are two people. The horrible drunk, where they do these horrible things. The demon in the bottle. And the sober person. So we wanted to address that in the series. That you have to deal with what you did while you were "under the influence" - because that person is you too, in a way. You are both people...pauses, so to answer your question? We meant both."
Explains the confusion online. We wanted one or the other, the writer was doing both simultaneously regarding vampires.
