    Angel’s happiness isn’t sexual. It’s about Buffy. When they slept together, he didn’t turn even at the moment of orgasm. He turned evil after the act, asleep in her arms, as content as he’s ever been on his life. The sex made them both forget for a moment the darkness on their life, but it was just the vehicle by which they reached inner contentment. Angel turned because in that moment he forgot his pain. The danger in them being together isn’t about the sex. Honestly, the idea that either of them would “lose themselves” in the moment to the point that they’d have sex again is ridiculous. Ppl were tortured and murdered. The danger in them being together is in Angel ever forgetting his pain and his guilt for a moment and being happy. Sex was just the thing that helped accomplish that in that episode.

      Thank you! I really disliked how they always tied it back to sex in dialogue. Even Angel's own show wasn't much better about how it actually worked, and I feel like that cheapens it.

      Thank you for pointing this out. I feel like this is one of the most common misconceptions in this fandom, and I don't understand why people think this. They've explained explicitly multiple times that it's true happiness that makes him lose his soul, not sex. Yet people throughout the fandom still misunderstand this. Do people think sex is happiness, or something?

      ​@@micahnieman673 Well, there is the way it is handled in each show. It's spoken about many, many times as just the sexual act itself that causes it. I honestly didn't think any differently until the show Angel. Even then, I thought it was a retcon because it would be unsustainable for a long running show. But eventually I realized it's a gag that runs thru the two gangs friendship. It's a juvenile understanding at first but they all grow up but they still rib him as long standing close friendships do. Whedon does it in Avengers Age of Ultron when Captain America says "Language" and everyone takes a shot at him the whole movie.

    My fan theory is that the Mayor had a daughter once upon a time, maybe one who died of a disease that could have been prevented by better hygiene or cleanliness, and so he's genuinely pleased to have a kid again.

      That would be awesome to get a Mayor backstory. Like maybe he was just a mortal long ago (maybe like a Roanoke or Atlantis even though Joss does touch on that) & had started dabbling in the mystic arts to find a cure for his daughter but became "cursed" with near immortality instead....like his daughter was supposed to be able to live forever (aside from getting hit by a car or something) but it was him instead. And since he could live forever he became delusional and obsessed with more & more power.

      Faith is such a psychologically complete character. It's a heck of a story arc, and while I'm not saying it's coming from a healthy place, her motivations do make sense and are internally consistent if you take the time to try to understand her. She's not just a canned evil psycho villain. And I have to give all kinds of props to Eliza Dushku, because it's her ability to undercut herself that gives Faith her depth. We know when Faith is fronting and talking mad crap she doesn't really believe or understand. We see her vulnerability when Faith is trying to be strong. And I love her relationship with the Mayor. It's this very genuine and almost innocent father / daughter bond, except... he's evil and she's killing people.

      They are, but it's going to be only a Patreon uncut type of thing. It's kind of annoying. I mean, I get it. Their editors are likely very swamped and can't be editing another 42 minute show down to 10. But I feel like they are doing too much anime stuff that it makes no room for quality live action things.
      There is just a LOT of great live action that they just aren't doing. I'm surprised that they've been able to take on Ted Lasso. But there's still Umbrella Academy, Sandman, Narcos/Narcos Mexico, The Last Kingdom, Yellowstone, SOA/Mayans MC, etc etc etc.
      I especially feel that they ABSOLUTELY NEED to react to Sandman. My god, that is such an amazing series. I think it's episode 4 that is one of the deepest episodes of TV that I've possibly EVER seen. Such a incredibly done episode about one of the deepest topics that humanity can deal with. I think I'm gonna go watch that episode right now cause I wanna have a good cry.
      And I love how it ties into the next episode about the guy who was "blessed" with eternal life and seeing how he deals with eternal life. Ugh, and then there's the diner episode....FUUUUUUUUCK that series is just so fucking good.

    As several others have pointed out, the Mayor had no sexual interest in Faith. She uses sexuality as a weapon, but he rebuffed her the one time she flirted with him.

    By the way! For the first season, if you weren't a monster that needed something special to wear, to save money, cast members brought their own clothes with them from home!

    Willow & Buffy, wrestling cutely, reminded me of another competition happening back then. "Toyota", used celebrities to promote their cars, like their, "Toyota Celica". But not in the usual way, by making commercials.
    They had car races! "Which Witch Will Win?!", was the headline promoting the race with, Alyson Hannigan versus Melissa Joan Hart! I didn't learn who won until decades later, when a fan on, Hart's fan club page told me. But I forgot already!

    Yes, please watch Angel! Its so worth adding it to your rotation. The spinoff is all about Angel's true redemption, his penance for his actions as Angelus. AND, it has Cordelia! So the Cordy-fans in your group will get more of her. I know you've already stated season 4 of Buffy but the first season of Angel runs parallel to season 4. There are even a couple crossovers. Google Buffyverse watch order.

    RE: Angel and pure happiness.
    Way too many people focus on the sex part. Angel didn't turn because he fucked Buffy, it's not "If you have sex you get your soul back." Angel turned well *after* the sex, in the middle of the night while he was curled up in bed with the underage girl he groomed into loving him (let's save that particular discussion for a different day), content and at peace. *That* was the happiness that caused him to lose his soul.
    Having an orgasm isn't pure happiness, it was that one moment of peace and contentment that did it.

      People get so caught up in the phrase "perfect happiness" that they forget what it really means is a moment where he's no longer suffering the torment of his soul. One moment where he's not feeling the guilt and remorse and shame, where he's at peace. His curse didn't break at the moment of physical release it broke while he was drifting off to sleep with the woman he loves in his arms after they had fully embraced their love. Pretty clear it takes more than a cheap thrill.

    My headcanon for why Angel isn't rich through investment is that when he was evil, he didn't care because he could just loot the people he killed. And it's not like he needed to pay for food or rent; he was just travelling around killing people and living his best unlife. Now that he has a soul, he doesn't think he deserves to be rich because guilt.
    I'm not sure about the other vampires. Spike isn't much of a planner, Drusilla is insane. The Master and Darla may very well have been rich.

    When Angel originally lost his soul he and Buffy did have sex, but the curse didn't activate until after when they were cuddling, presumably something like an hour later. So yes he can still have sex, but the thing that makes him truly happy is to be with Buffy. As long as that doesn't change they shouldn't even risk being together, but that's his human nature dooming him--making him seek happiness, even if he does deny himself.

But for those who knows the final episode; I mean, there are people who dies there! We know of 3 secondary characters who does, and, y'know, probably more, people we just didn't really get to meet. But even if not: At least 3 people dies so that Willow could live.

    3:38-3:42 Don't get me started on Buffy and Angel not being able to figure it out and being in denial about a three-month relationship before they had sex. _Halloween_ through _Surprise_ was their official dating period. Before that, it was attraction going nowhere and since Angelus, they do the on and off thing Chris talked about. Although, when it comes to denial, Buffy must get it from Joyce who isn't getting the picture of Buffy not being able to leave town for school. Faith could've helped (not take over) with that if The Scoobies hadn't ostracized her even before The Deputy Mayor incident, but most high school seniors don't think in advance as well as they are encouraged.
    I assumed Marketa would understand better that it's one thing to not be anyone's business, but its another thing when people are in denial over toxic relationships. The Mayor was saying everything that Giles, Joyce, Willow, Xander, Oz, Cordelia, and even Wesley to a degree should be been telling Buffy. Even Spike had something to say about them getting out of a different type of denial. Buffy even took the right lesson from it and dumped Angel, only to get back together with him at the end of _Amends_ just after he attempted suicide by sunlight. For friends who like to get into Buffy's face when they don't like what she's doing, this is the one times they should all be saying exactly what The Mayor did. The other Normies are right in that they let The Mayor say it because they haven't.
    The Mayor talking about "[Coming] back from hell" isn't the point. The point was why does it matter if he did or didn't if he's just going to be Buffy's window dressing relationship again. Have fans seen him as anything else, even when he was Angelus, or before S2, or after Angelus? No. Because even The Scoobies don't see him as anything other than Buffy's boyfriend. And that has been a problem, even if he wasn't a vampire.
    Snyder is The Mayor's Sunnydale High school spy, but he doesn't know anything about The Mayor (until this episode when he watches The Mayor unnaturally heal), and it also never seemed he reported directly to The Mayor.
    Buffy's been fighting in Sunnydale for a little over two years Willow, not one. She arrived in Sunnydale in March 1997 and it is currently (in-universe) May 1999.

  • @darkdg4106

    Here is my theory on the whole Angel losing his soul issue, he now knows for a fact that if he has a moment of pure happiness he will end up losing his soul and reverting to Angelus. Given that this fact will always be pressing in the back of his and the constant worrying he receives from it, if him and Buffy had sex again I think that would be enough to prevent him from reaching that moment needed for him to lose his soul.
