I have always seen conventions and things for various shows and anime and I've never been especially interested in going to most of them but I would LOVE to go to a Buffy and Angel convention. I used to get the Buffy magazines back in the day and I would see various articles on the conventions and I always thought they looked fun and then the show ended and they still did the occasional one but eventually stopped completely. It always made me sad I never had the chance to go to one. There are only a handful of shows I like enough to want to invest money to go see the actors and directors and various crew members and Buffy and Angel were two of them. I know back when David Boreanaz would show up to them everyone that went said they were amazing. I follow several of the cast members on Twitter and I fangirled when the actress who played Drusilla followed me back (yes it's really her there is even the official blue checkmark) James Marsters (Spike) also liked one of my comments under one of his questions I responded to. I love that most of them take time to interact with their fans even now. I don't think David Boreanaz really does since he became a bigger celebrity since leaving Buffy. I used to buy all of the Buffy merchandise back before I had a child. I own both series on DVD and I own several books, a shirt, the Angel board game along with a few other pieces of merchandise. It is seldom I get that into a show. Buffy has always had a cult following and people of all age groups seemed to love it. I remember the movie which was horrible but hilarious. I own it on VHS somewhere because that's how long ago I bought it. I paid like two dollars for it back when VHS was slowly dying out. While I own the series on DVD I prefer streaming them because I don't have to switch out discs and can just keep going onto the next episode. I also loved Charmed but not as much as the other two. I think we all have TV series we love. I like several series just not to the magnitude I always enjoyed those shows. I used to get in debates over the show with several other fans. Every Buffy/Angel fan has their favorite and least favorite episode. I even found myself liking some of the lesser loved episodes like Beer Bad which while horrible had it's funny/lighter moments which was always a nice change of pace. My favorite episode being the musical "Once More With Feeling" which I used to hum along with the soundtrack. I have a lot of favorite episodes but that was probably my favorite along with Tabula Rasa. Angel I have a more difficult time picking out a favorite but I did love when they brought Spike on it gave it more of a comical twist. I also loved the first season. I wasn't a huge fan of season four of Angel. If you are a Buffy/Angel fan what's your favorite episode?

My favorite episode is when Buffy met a Vampire who use to be classmates and before killing each other, they decided to bond and chill, they hangout like friends. I am sad when they have to kill each other in the end. He would have been a great friend but he became a Vampire.

I think I know Which one you're talking about. I think the vampires name was Holden. The actor later appeared in season 5 of Angel as a different character. That was an amusing episode. I can't remember all of the details anymore though. Pretty sure it was a later season like 6 or 7 though.

@CaptAlbertWhisker The musical episode is one of my favorites. It's titled "Once more with feeling" I actually used to listen to the soundtrack on repeat lol. James Marsters (Spike) and Anthony Stewart Head (Giles) both actually sing in real life. James has a band called Ghost of the Robot and Tony sings solo I believe. I mean clearly they weren't all singers but I loved the musical. I am not actually. From what I heard it wouldn't have anything to do with the original cast and it wouldn't be the same to me.
