Some recent discussions I've seen have me curious. This poll is relatively simple: Was Buffy over Angel by the end of the series (Not Fade Away, specifically)? I decided to do it as a scale, because a strict dichotomy would probably be difficult.
Absolutely no comics discussion! Pretend they don't exist. We're only working from the TV show. I don't have any particularly negative feelings towards the comics, but I don't read them and I'm not interested in hosting a discussion about them. Don't mention them. Not even to snark (Especially not to snark). I don't share your snarkage. I don't want to hear it. Let's stick to the TV show.
Okay, that said, let's get poll-y. Vote and comment with lovely thoughts. Discuss, debate, share ideas. Y'all know the drill.
Edit: Just to clarify, this poll is about Buffy being over Angel in a romantic sense. Carry on. :)

I think Buffy has her own special, idealized fantasy place where Angel resides (that she likes to retreat to in times of stress). I don't know that I'd describe it as carrying a torch, though, as it's not an active yearning in any way.
So is my sister.
And my husband.
And everyone I'm close enough to to know that about, actually.
(Also, thank god!)
Same with my best friend and my sister and pretty much everyone else I know.
I think Buffy's probably the same way, except she holds onto both the horror AND the fantasy of Angel, which makes for some interesting issues.
