Buffy S7 / Angel S4
I'm just about to watch Buffy Season 7 and Angel Season 4 for the first time (So spoiler free).
Can anyone please tell me the correct viewing order for the crossovers for these seasons?
I don't think it is the same as earlier seasons, as Buffy was on a different network to Angel.
Thanks
Steve

Thanks for the reply.
I think there is another crossover during the season (Sorry don't know how to do spoiler boxes, I have a vague idea about the mid season crossover)

There is another crossover, midseason.
Only a vague mention is made of it on Buffy. In fact, you are forced to infer that a character is going to see Angel - there is no direct reference to Angel - only that the character has to go for a few days.
Sorry, I don't remember the specific episode, but it is at least 6 episodes before the Buffy finale.
Watching them in sequence doesn't improve continuity in any noticeable way.

Indeed, that Alyson Hannigan crossover wasn't even presented in chronological order when the series aired; the Angel part (which was second) aired a couple weeks before the Buffy one.
It doesn't really matter, anyway - the only time Buffy and Angel have done a "story starts on show A and ends in show B" crossover was a four-part Faith story, but there was no cliffhanger or anything. Besides, it's kind of fun to see these things out of chronological order; you can see them as flashbacks filling in the backstory.

With absolutely no potential spoiler discussion of "why", all you have to be sure of is that you watch Angel Ep. 15 "Orpheus" before Buffy Ep. 18 "Dirty Girls" and Angel Ep. 22 "Home" before Buffy Ep. 21 "End of Days".
As previously mentioned, the two networks did not even bother to interlace these as above, but you can be more flexible at home.

It's in episode 17, "Lies My Parents Told Me". Then, in episode 18, "Dirty Girls", Willow returns to Sunnydale with some "company" she picked up on Angel.

Thanks for the replies - although I'm slightly confused now.
I thought the mid season crossover was to do with another character - not Willow??
Is this crossover in these episodes or is that linked to the finale?
Dave - Due to work I couldn't pick up the Buffy box set today, so am know three episodes into Angel S4. I'll post impressions on Buffy box set tomorrow

Steve,
You are not necessarily wrong, but to answer your questions would be to venture further into spoilerville than we have already gone. If you watch per my previous post, you will be fine & dandy.
