> **June** , I am so jealous. I wish I had Angel seasons 2 to 5 ahead of me, unwatched and ready to go. You’re in for a wonderful, exciting, weird ride. Especially when it comes to Wesley, who against all my expectations becomes one of the most fascinating characters in the Buffyverse. Enjoy!

Is that the Wesley that shows up in Buffy Season 3 as Giles’s replacement?

Yes. If you haven’t seen Angel, you should check it out – if you enjoy Buffy, it’s unlikely that you’ll be disappointed with Angel. Angel season 1 aired back-to-back with Buffy season 4 starting in late 1999, so I recommend you watch the two shows together (e.g., 4.1 of Buffy, followed by 1.1 of Angel, 4.2 of Buffy, 1.2 of Angel, and so on). There’s a lot of neat little crossovers that you may not pick up otherwise.

Plus, if you like Cordelia and Wesley Windam-Pryce, they become regulars on Angel, and their characters become much more interesting and complex as the show progresses. So I’m told… 😉
