I'm sort of rewatching S1 DVD's and happened to catch Rm w/a Vu and Jane Espenson's commentary - she said something like, 'I look at the two shows as having the same roots but diverging from one another.' not a quote.
I always felt condescended to whenever a Buffy character showed up, the sole exception being Faith. Her story worked well in both universes, I thought. (I always thought she was slumming on Buffy. Faith was really more of an Angel character, IMO.)
My problem with S5 and the W&H takeover premise was that it didn't have very long legs. "Can you do good while working for evil?" Short answer: "No. Not without compromise." That's a fairly obvious situation, one more suited for a single episode or a movie than as a season. It's like in 'You're Welcome,' Cordy wakes up so that she can, what? Put Angel back on track? Thing was, he
was back on track when he quit W&H. (I wish in that final scene, when Angel is putting on his coat, Cordy would've said, "no not that coat, your other coat.")
My solution: W&H should've stayed dead in S4, and give him a whole new adversary instead.
