A long interview by Joss Whedon at the AV Club. I haven't had time to read through it all yet, but, I love this bit:

With Buffy, I needed closure, because she, poor girl, had earned it. Buffy is about growing up. Angel is really about already having grown up, dealing with what you've done, and redemption. Redemption is something you fight for every day, so I wanted him to go out fighting. People kept calling it a cliffhanger. I was like, "Are you mad, sir? Don't you see that that is the final statement?" And then they would say "Shut up."

I think that's exactly why I liked Angel's ending better than Buffy, though I could never have put it in words.

Everyone who's responded to my previous post about the basement suite, thank you so much. It looks like it's going to work out for the apartment, more about that later. I didn't get the job I really wanted, though. Such is life, I suppose.
