While I believe you're right about most of that, Dan, I believe the
alternative (not that it's likely to be taken, as you pointed out)
would be a crossover with Angel characters on Buffy (UPN), as opposed
to Buffy characters on Angel (WB), to which the WB's only punitive
reaction could be to stop showing Angel altogether -- and I don't
believe they'd do that. The issue, however, is moot, since, as you
pointed out, Joss and Marti were anticipating this, and will not
likely attempt a crossover. Or I may have misunderstood the situation
completely; whatever.

crossovers but can he really stop them? After all, both Buffy and Angel are
still produced by Fox, not by Warner Brothers. All the WB has are the rights
to show Angel but I doubt they have any creative input whatsoever. Just a
thought.
