I thought that I had reached the nadir of my feelings for Angel...

Buffy's speech on Tuesday about Angel really made me want to hurt him.

She's idealized him and their relationship. She's never gotten over him.

Because she was sixteen when he kissed her and seventeen when he slept with her and she sent him to Hell. He should have known better.

And then when you factor in the implication on Angel that he was just using her to get over Darla.

He's still the thing that she loved most in this world. She's an old girlfriend who sent him to a hell dimension.
