Finally!!! A review I can agree with wholeheartedly! Love your snark! :)
"The positive reviews, oddly, did not make me like the comics or endear me to them, if anything it made me despise them all the more."
Ditto. I quite like elisi's 'Emperor's New Clothes' analogy...
"Slayers get butchered during this war."
It makes me furious that of all alternatives and possibilities, Joss chose to use this method to get rid of the excess slayers. And while at it, making it as brutal as possible.
"In regards to Angel's redeemption? I don't think the question is if he can be redeemed or if he is redeemable, so much as if he deserves to be or even should be"
I feel he's passed the point of no return. It's like cats with nine lives. Tenth time something happens? It won't be pretty. And at this point, imo, Angel has used up, and wasted, all his opportunities for redemption.
