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. :)

It's not really about him, it's about the terrible trauma that her first love caused her and which has informed her later relationships. What happened with Angel is one of the main reasons (though not the only reason) why she has become so emotionally closed.
