Very true.

Ah, I see now. You need to visit other boards like the ANGEL forum at Shrinking Bait Arms (a board Tim Minear posts at) and the Bronze Beta (which is sort of the temporary Bronze). There are other small ones that I visit as well. I gave you some history on the ASSB and how it was taken over. There used to be so many people that posted there. Not anymore really.

I'll see if I can get you the links later tonight.

I haven't seen the national ratings for Offspring yet, but even that episode (at least to me) didn't really have plenty of focus on Darla.

But this is what I observed. The premiere scored a 3.2, thereafter Vision Thing scored a 3.0, That Old Gang of Mine a 2.9. Carpe Noctem (Angel focused) scored a 3.2. Fredless went back to a 3.0. Billy scored a 2.6 or 2.7. There could have been plenty of reasons for the significant drop for Billy, but I still think it's telling that the ratings have not increased. In fact, they've lessened.

So I have to wonder if promoting the show as C/A and not concentrating on Angel's issues, just the FGs and Cordelia has hurt the show. It needs to get more viewers and honestly I don't think promoting the show as C/A is helping.

It's good to talk about it plus I'm really interested in what you have to say.

I agree.

I don't think either will happen. :)

Oh man, don't remind me. I just need to get off the net period.
