I really like this vid. I've never seen it before, even though I've watched many of your others. I especially liked that you included all the pairings that you did. It really fleshed it out and made me think about the nature of jealousy, how it is a mixture of pain and longing and ego and possessiveness. At first, when it was just Angel, Spike, and Riley fighting over who got Buffy ("think twice, before you touch MY girl"), I kept thinking how possessive and ego-based these guys seemed. It seemed like their feelings for Buffy were really shallow. But when it got to Oz and Xander, that made me rethink the first part, because those guys are a little softer in general. Anyway, I thought it was really smart to balance all that out.
