Angel gets some release from the blame for Giles's death... but not all of the blame. No, he gets to keep some of it for being an idiot and listening to a talking dog. He also gets the full brunt of the blame for anything he did prior to getting possessed. Oh yeah, those Slayer deaths are all on him.

Exactly.

As for the rest, I look out and see an expanse of water filled with exhausted sharks who are tired of being jumped.

And I want to send Buffy a gift card to buy a cross that Joss will always nail her to.
