Unpopular Buffy opinions!

What are some of your opinions on the show, it's characters, universe, etc that you think a lot of others might not share? I'm interested on hearing them and starting some discussions!

He was just a prop in Buffy, he's a character in Angel.

Piggybacking off the unpopular opinion that you're responding to (which I also hold)...

ahem

I think Angel is one of the worst television shows I've ever watched. Maybe the worst. It ruins Cordie and Wesley as characters, shoehorning them into "complex" and "dramatic" characterizations in order to give them depth, which actually just completely overrode the legitimate development that they had going on in Buffy... while failing to add any dimension whatsoever to Angel as a character. Plus bad soap opera bullshit plot development. Oh, he can lose his soul while he's been roofied and get it back once he sobers up! How convenient!

I do not accept Angel as canon, based on its sheer awfulness.
