Exactly. I liked Connor - VK sold that character - but Whedon's insane obsession with the sci-fi mystical baby trope from hell...almost killed the Angel series (in much the same way it killed the comic books to be honest).
I kept hopping in and out of Angel. I honestly think the main problem with Angel may have been Whedon. Noir really isn't Whedon's genre. Nor are redemption arcs... The best episodes in that series (with the exception of the Spike/Angel banter in S5 and the Illyria arc) were by Minear, Greenwalt and Bell.
