Thanks to the PVR/satellite setup I've been watching Angel.

Now mind you, I've seen only seen about six Buffy episodes. I gather that Angel had to leave because he became a soulless vampire again after making love with her. (I'm fighting to avoid some truly wicked jokes here, so *work* with me on this one.) This is why Angel got broody, right?

In addition, I gather Spike was supposed to be almost as bad as bad Angel until he had some sort of chip implanted. Clearly it had some Munch properties (the ex-producer of "Homicide" has suggested changing the title of "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" to "Munch at 10:00"), allowing him to survive Buffy, albeit as some sort of poltergeist. Right?

Spoiler throw-away! You have been warned!

Anyway, I will gladly allow the character almost any assortment of past sins for the line "Alright, Angel's finally getting some! Good on you, mate!" followed by a thumbs-up. Hilarious.

Although I'd appreciate it if someone would explain the joke about unnatural supernatural compulsions for sex and going to (I think) USC-Santa Cruz. Is this like Woody Allen's joke about the NYU graduate in "Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex, But Were Afraid to Ask?"
