It wasn't difficult though. Try as I could, I just couldn't get into it. Large parts made no sense, the characterisations were dull & out of line with what was established on the show. The artwork was shite, and there's no shortage of good comic artists. What a missed opportunity with an excellent franchise.
Buffy, I can still shove in the DVD player and enjoy every now and then. Angel is much harder to do. I don't think I've bothered with seasons 2-4 since I first got the discs & watched them. Series 1 & 5 are much easier to dip in & out of.
ONe of the things that bugged me with The First, and Caleb, is I wanted a showdown between Caleb and Willow. he's the only one of the gang he never interacted with, which I thought was weird.
It has to be one of those weird things that the world throws up every now and then. Look at all the decent shows that were cancelled well before their time. Smalliville, 9 seasons? Tom Welling is going to an old man by the time it finishes. He's 33 in April. Reeve was 27 when he first played Superman, and 34 when he finished filming on the last movie.
Dawn was only in like two episodes before Glory showed up.
Angel four was good. I know everyone goes on about Cordy sleeping with Connor being horrible and yeah, it would have been, but we find out about six episodes later that it WASN'T REALLY CORDY so I don't see why it's brought up so much.
Season five Buffy had that one ultra-depressing episode (The Body) but it was brilliantly acted and directed. It was season six that piled on the misery to a ridiculous and at times tedious degree.
Season seven started well until those godawful (except Vi!) potential slayers showed up and they started doing episodes about Xander going on a date with Ayliah (or whatever) and Willow turning into Warren instead of having a proper story arc.
