When Angel was written off the show because of “Angel”
Just because “Angel” became something of a better series than what we sat through in the final days of “Buffy,” it doesn’t excuse the fact that we were forced to watch an integral part of the show just sort of walk away from it. Sure, there were a few crossovers here and there, and sure, we were comforted by the Buffy-Spike romance (at least some of us were), but the entire exit was handled pretty poorly. He had to leave because of his fear of hurting her? Is that like a real thing?
