15 episodes really isn't enough time to judge much of anything. It kills me that we got just a glimpse of what the show could be- like you, I wonder what would have happened several years down the line.

I loved Buffy, right from the get go. All the way through, even though I think I might have loved the show a smidge less when David Boreanaz left. Angel was truly my number one Joss show, I loved that one beyond reason. I'm still sort of devastated by the ending. I say sort of because I can appreciate the whole "slay the dragon" thing, but I want to know what happened! (I know there were comic books, but I don't read those. It's just not the same to me.)
