I guess the pacing also plays a very important role. We found out that Angel is Twilight in January. Five months later we've heard his explanation - which was very baffling and contradicted practically everything we knew about his character. Now we have to wait another four months to find out is there will be/won't be a twist that may reveal a real big bad. In any case we face two pretty frustrating options:
-- somebody drove Angel crazy so he isn't responsible for what he did, and we're back at square A
-- he really doesn't care about the fate of the world as long as he and Buffy can have sex in paradise.
If it was a TV show, there would be a week between the episodes. We'd get the resolution and we could discuss the entire season's failure or success. Now we have too much time to spec, to rant, to construct crazy theories, to compare s8 to other comics etc.
