Problem being he wrote this story for Buffy, then let his brain leak it all into Dollhouse. I understand the compulsion as a writer, you write what's on your mind and what philosophies interest you etc. But dangit, Joss, you just spoiled this Season 8!

For some reason I think (and hope) it will work better with BtVS than it did with Dollhouse. The Boyd thing was a deal breaker for me. I'd decided to watch S2 after it was done, so I had all 13 episodes, and after the one with Boyd going OOCily evil, I stopped watching for days before curiosity won.

Hopefully, Angel's insaneness/evilness will be explained more believably.
