So today marks the one-year anniversary of Not Fade Away, the series finale of Angel. It’s also the one-year anniversary of me being a Buffy fan, as Cyth showed me the first two episodes the night NFA aired. In honor of this day, I’ve been rewatching Angel season 5, and DEAR GOD I LOVE THIS SHOW. I’d like to know what on earth was going through those execs’ heads, if anything at all. But I’m in an excellent mood right now and not feeling particularly bitter.

Here’s to Joss for 12 fantastic seasons of TV! As you can see from the state of the fandom, Buffy and Angel are most definitely not fading away.
