Well, that's okay, but when you're watching Angel S5, seeing Fred and Wesley finding happiness and all you can think is "I wonder just what horrible, horrible thing is gonna happen to them?" something might be wrong.
Because characters in the Buffyverse (Firefly didn't last long enough to reach that stage), really have nothing to live for. They're all like Angel in a way, cursed. They moment they get happy it goes downhill real bad. Slit your wrists bad. Every single time.
I'm not saying a show where every character is happy happy, joy joy is the way to go, but one where happy moments, every happy moment, is the harbinger of doom...
Aw, come on. Willow and Kennedy! Buffy and The Immortal! Faith and Wood! Andrew and Nearest Charismatic Male! All the really important relationships, the ones the fans cared passionately about, were validated in the end!
