I wasn't going to mention it, but since someone else did... Last night I came up with a way to integrate the next scene with the slayers coming to help.
My proposed "teaser" for Season 6, Episode one....
----
Angel Crew head off to do battle...
Suddenly, slayers pour in from out of nowhere, fighting. Willow arrives and a barrier forms around the Angel survivors.
Buffy and Willow come up to the Angel crew.
Buffy: "Got your message," She says "Glad you aren't evil."
Angel: "It's about time."
Andrew comes up, reloading his crossbow.
Andrew: "You guys ready? We still need the help. There's a dragon needs slaying, too."
Various nods, they're ready.
Illryia: "This one is not. He will not survive much longer without healing."
Willow: "Fred? What– You're right. I'll be right back."
Willow teleports Gunn to the hospital.
Buffy: "Where's Wes?"
Angel: "Dead."
Willow returns.
Angel picks up his sword, eyes the Dragon. He looks at the group.
Angel: "I believe I was about to slay a dragon. Time to get back to work. Everyone ready?"
All: "Ready."
Angel: "Willow, drop the barrier."

That's just me being completely fannish.
Loved the real ending, tho.
Cindy ... I am intrigued. Do tell.
This black leather jacket (no size) was worn on screen in Episode 4, Season 5 by Angel on the television show "Angel."
Well, two lucky people got their own from the W&H Revue. Probably cheaper, and certainly for a better cause.
Why can't Angel sign away his shot at Shanshu? It may never even have been him. If the words had said "ex-Liam to become human," then I think there's no wiggle room. But I can totally see there being a mystical way to remove himself for consideration.
Did he sign the contract with the Evil Pricks, or did he sign it with reality? Or TPTB?
By the way, Joss, that ending really just encourages the fanfiction people sooo much.
I kinda liked how Angel was left with nobody alive (or likely to be alive) but crazy supernatural rivals. Lorne & Connor left, true; but Gunn's probably gonna die and he don't like Spike or Illyria.
Illyria, also? HOT! Like a blue flame.

The green oatmeal one was raffled, I've no idea how many tickets went into it.
The other was auctioned for $800.00
Much worthier cause, yes.
Wait, we need Peter Wingfield to show up as the immortal, too.
Buffy: "Angel, Bob, Bob, Angel"
Angel: "Bob?"
Buffy rolls her eyes. "The Immortal"
Angel: "Your name is Bob?"
Bob. "Well, it is this decade. Robert, actually."
Party people--I just got asked by an editor to do an Angel series wrapup, but I only caught the last 20 mins. Did I get all the good storyline stuff in that bracket? Does anybody know of a good non-TWOP recaplet? I am a helpless kitten fantastico... :)
Am I the only one who interpreted "You won't last ten minutes" as a reference to his ability to fight while wounded, rather than "in ten minutes your wounds will kill you"?
I don't know, I took it as a "ten minutes before your wound kills you." From Illyria's "You have only moments," with Wes, diagnosing the human condition seems to be a specialty- and she's done that before, with her "This one warms to me" with Connor. Maybe she doesn't understand everything about human emotion and intellect, but she seems to see everything about the actual vessel.
But I'm also pretty convinced he willingly surrendered it (or thought he did) and that's all that matters to me, in a finale like Not Fade Away.
Absolutely.
But I can totally see there being a mystical way to remove himself for consideration.
I'm just saying, every time we've seen a prophecy, they've come true. I agree it could refer to Spike or some as-yet unsouled vampire. When people try to mess with prophecies, it never works.
