Been Deep Diving into Buffy & Angel lately,
(What else can you do with your partner when you're separated during a pandemic, but watch through a couple shows from the 90s-2000s?) It's my first time going through them. They are a product of the time. There's a lot of things that I take issue with, mainly Xander, and a bunch of the not-so-fun-basically-sexist-off-hand-characters-and-lines, BUT what I'd like to focus on is how the series would occasionally create triptychs with the other series' parallel episodes. The Episodes "Darla" & "A Fool for Love", are not really crossovers, but they share scenes (Flashbacks from the 18th/19th century) that are extended in different perspectives. The Buffy Episode focusing on Spike's Perspective, and the Angel episode focusing on Angel's. They have similar themes, but the actual modern portion of the episodes, the character's main stories do not interact at all. You don't to watch one to understand the other, it's not a two-parter. I'm curious if anything like this has been done after? Whedon's shows were in a special spot, since they're by the same creator, and they aired one after the other. I know we the advantage of multiple different crossovers, but I think this is something different.
Has this been attempted post-Buffy? Is their room to do something like this in the streaming age? Would you write something like this?
