That's one thing that bugged me with Buffy. Through seven seasons of the show, none of the main Scooby characters ever got killed, unless you want to count Anya at the very end. Compare that to Angel, where by the end of the series, he was the only character still alive who'd been on the beginning of the show. As dangerous as their world was, it didn't seem realistic how nobody died on Buffy.
What really, really bugs me though is how after five seasons of his own show, which is far superior to Buffy, and years of comics, which were all pretty much completely independent of Buffy, he's gone back to playing second fiddle, and really gotten screwed over. I can't buy that the Angel who basically sold his soul to provide a happy life for his son would turn evil and damn the whole world just to be with Buffy, essentially. His series ended with him and his whole team embracing certain death just on the possibility that they could hurt the Senior Partners. The whole Twilight storyline is basically the exact opposite of that.
As you can tell, I feel kind of strongly about this. ;)
