And, going back to the poetry, one that always gets me is Cavafy's "Thermopylae":
And greater honor to those who foresee As many do foresee That Ephialtes will be there in the end And the Medes, they will get through
Buckle up, kids! Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.

Angel 5: Is That It? Am I Done?
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Question: What is this stuff everyone's talking about about Joss being at the end of the episode? I just did it via Bittorrent, and, um, nothing there.

Sure to be an x-post, but it's people in shock over the "Produced and created by Joss Whedon" happening when it did.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Gandalfe, you know how, after the show is over, it goes to a black screen with Joss's name? (Like Angel saying "You're all fired." Then -- black screen, Joss Whedon.)
I think what people mean is that it seemed like it ended too soon, like there was still some action left to go, and yet -- Angel said "Let's go to work," and then black screen, Joss Whedon.

I won't delete it from the tivo until I've seen it again, I don't want to see it again any time soon ...
"I can't go on, I'll go on." It's a metaphor for the whole show.
This ep was the first Angel or Buffy to make me cry since Becoming part 2. It was perfect from start to finish.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
iven that she was a W & H client we can expect Rush, Fox News and the current administration to demand an exhaustive (and civil liberties threatening) investigation.
Investigation? I figured they just ripped off their faces before joining up with the dragon and the rest of the demon army.

Angel said "Let's go to work," and then black screen, Joss Whedon. To me, at least, that didn't feel like the end of a scene/show/series. It seemed an odd place to end, and so the fact that it did end -- fade to black, Joss Whedon -- felt abrupt.

ie, the abrupt cut from the battle to the credits.
