Buffy + Angel - The best crossover : Angel 1
A crossover is where characters from one series appear
in another series. In this case, stars from Buffy appeared
in the spin-off series, Angel
Season 1.
Angel
Season 1 is the best crossover series because it
takes several characters from Buffy and puts them into
a completely different environment - and at the same
time several of the Buffy regular cast also make visits
in various episodes.
Firstly, it starts off by taking two characters, Angel
and Cordelia - who did not really have much interaction
in Buffy Season
2 and 3
- and pushes them together. The result is great because
it makes both characters change - particularly Cordelia
who continues her graduation from dizzy valley girl
into regular team member.
Secondly,
regular members of the Buffy cast make episode visits.
Buffy herself appears in I Will Remember You
and Sanctuary, Spike appears in In
the Dark - which has a very funny monologue
at the start - and Faith (see page
6) makes a return in Five by Five.
Great fight scene between Angel and Faith.
Later, Wesley from Buffy becomes a regular cast member
and he continues into Angel
Season 2, 3,
4
and 5
(see page 10)
As well as all this, Angel
Season 1 brings in new characters including Kate,
who might have been the love interest - but becomes
a more complex character as the season progresses -
action hero Charles Gunn and the evil law firm Wolfram
and Hart.
Angel
Season 1 really mixes it with the best of Buffy....
