Of course, in Angel's case, he's constantly being told this is the case, so I can't blame the guy.

Huh, I never thought about it that way before. He didn't start with the whole hero/martyr thing until Whistler told him he had a place in the universe. Cool.

I have to wonder if he was angry at assuming his sacrifice would extend her life when it didn't. That's got to be so much worse.

Oh yeah. But I just don't think knowing that would've changed his decision.
