I know this is off topic but I just want to apologise for my previous post. yes it was a little rude. I just get a bit annoyed at times because I am so passionate about the characters. I just don't like seeing bad things which I view as unwaranted, being said about them. So I hope you will all accept my apology.
Now, back on topic. I agree, Beck that Angel wasn't as brutal as he was in season 2 but i think that stems from one thing: In season 2 he cut himself off from his emotions but in season 5 he is completely connected with them. That is the problem. He is so connected that he is doing all the things he doesn't like but is carrying to do, like Kana said, what is best for those he cares about. That comes first to Angel and that is why I have no problem with his attitude. In all honesty, it annoyed me as well when I first watched Season 5 but I looked at it objectively and I noticed all these things. Now I understand and sympathise.
Spike had some good moments but I don't understand why he was the way he was with Angel, or vice versa. I don't think it is because Angel made him a monster because he didn't, he just opened the door. I honestly think both of them were like that for one simple reason: jealousy. Angel was jealous of Spike with the shanshu, fighting for his soul and Buffy. Spike was jealous of Angel because Angel was treated like a hero, was a leader to the group, Buffy and the shanshu. That is all I think it is. Spike was always jealous of Angelus, now he is jealous of Angel. Angel is jealous of those who have things he wants, so he is jealous if Spike.
Well thats my two cents for now. Maybe I'll post again soon.
And again, sorry.
