Why I'm Returning My Ats Season One DVDs is an essay by Markeyisapunk.

It is one of many essays at Octaves, a Buffy and Angel website.

"An interesting look at the end of Buffy, and the ways in which the viewers have been let down by the shows."

Excerpt

I read once at a B/A shipper board, that other ships love one half of the ship and hate the other, e.g. that C/A shippers love Cordelia and think she should be worshipped by everyone, and Angel is just the guy filling those shoes, or that B/S shippers worship Spike and hate Buffy. The person who posted this claimed that B/A shippers are above that, that we love Buffy and Angel equally. That's not true anymore. After the shows split, the creators made a deliberate effort to separate the shows in order to give Ats breathing room. B/A stopped being about forbidden love, and stated being about the fighting that comes in the aftermath of forbidden love that's denied.
