wasn't for the guys in the room, it was for the Angel fans who were not Buffy fans.

Hey, if you hadn't watch the last year off Buffy you wouldn't know why there were other slayers running around and if you had never watched it I don't know how well you would know what a slayer is. Yes he was condesending but there was also a point where they pointed out that they knew all this, well except what happend 6 months ago. Which doesn't make sense since they knew to send the Amulet.

I understand that, and from a dramatic standpoint that makes sense, but I did think his remarks to Wesley were extremely rude, esp. considering they'd never met before. Now, if it had been Xander, I'd have been willing to go with it, because he never liked Angel or Wesley, and has no reason to trust their employees/friends.

It's funny, I've been reading a lot of reviews, and overall they've been positive but seem to fall into two camps: 1) Buffy (series) lovers who don't care for Angel (series) and were glad to see Andrew appear and put Angel (character) and the rest in their place, or 2)Angel (series) lovers who don't like Buffy (series) and were smugly satisfied to learn that Buffy (character) and the rest were willing to let Angel and/or Spike be killed to achieve their own ends. One review actually took the implied behavior I found so offensive and declared it "totally in character" that Buffy would send Angel and Spike to possible death to achieve her own ends.

I happen to like both shows, and most of the characters, and I think whatever differences Buffy may have with Angel, she'd at the very least confront him on it before passing a possible death sentence. I mean, she can get past him trying to destroy the world, but joining a law firm she'd never heard of a year before was an unforgivable sin?

I don't know. Remove all that and it was a superior episode, but I just can't get past that.
