And of course it would have been such a good thing for Buffy if Angel and Riley hadn't left.

What I really can't stand about certain TWoP posters is the way they seem to think these characters actually exist - they can't seem to get their heads round the concept that Buffy's relationships broke up because of the storyline and if Spike hadn't been a triggering factor, then something else would have been. It's not like Buffy would still be hooked up with Angel if Spike had been staked in S2.
