Well, looks like the Buffyverse is finally dead, that creation of Joss Whedon’s mind that spawned nerd-heaven “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” will at least go into dormancy with the end of “Angel”, Los Angeles-based spinoff from the earlier “Buffy” series.
These shows represented consistent creative writing, acting, and characterization in an increasingly homogenized television landscape. Though not an “Angel” fan myself, I’ll mark its passing with respect.
