I hate that episode. I enjoy Angel/Spike humor, don't get me wrong - but I felt the majority of the humor was both forced and uncanon. Kind of like the B/A mockery in Fredless between Cordelia and Wes. Isn't this after Buffy digs herself out of the grave? Cordelia and Wes both should know that Buffy's a not-so-great topic for Angel, and to mock it is, in my opinion, rediculous, rude, and immature. Especially after Buffy dies.
Also re: Chosen, I've got a lot of experience with father-types who have to let their sons go in some kind of way. I'm not saying all fathers are alike, of course. But there's a definite familiarity between a father who tries to do the right thing by letting them go. So the scene really did strike me as slightly uncanon. And not just Angel, Buffy too. It's hard for me to see her kissing Angel then ending up in the arms of Spike not too long after, after dropping hints to future Bangelness and spitting out that cringe-worthy cookie metaphor. But it's season seven, I despised the latter half of that season in its entirety anyway.
I hate B/Aus too. I have yet to find a fic where it doesn't come off as wrongwrongwrong. I mean, if he shoots her up with that stuff Giles used on her once on a regular basis and chain her to a bed, making her his forever slave, then I'll read it for the dirty smut, but... I kinda don't see Angelus doing that, either. :X
