Oh. I'm dumb. That makes much sense, then.
Not dumb, just new. You can't be born knowing everything.
I just thought she was divine.
Of course she is.

But I tried. Oh, how I tried.

I don't really like Joss endlessly bitching about Angel being cut short, either. I mean, they gave him time to wrap things up, and he essentially wasted an episode with the goofy Rome crap.
I did like the end of the show for the themes discussed here: the importance of the fight and the relative morality of noble actions. I especially liked the Wild Bunch heroicism of choosing a losing battle on moral grounds, because the choice to fight for a particular cause and against a particular form of evil should be reason enough to suffer all hell raining down.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Living in hayden's brain, am i.
Listening to the Firefly extras one night I remember Joss saying that because they were running on fumes and could be struck down at any moment, every second of film was a precious thing, and so every episode had to tell the story from the rawest emotional point.

Well, this is really two different issues. In the first issue, I don't see endless bitching about it, just endless rehashing here of the same one or two places he bitched.
The second is the Rome issue. I still think that it was a good episode, and if they'd actually been able to get SMG involved, it might have been a good way to say goodbye to her. As it was . . . . Not good for the 3rd to last episode.

We said goodbye to her in Chosen. I felt a bit angry at the concept of using her as a bone for the vampires to fight over. She's my girl, yo. Leave her be.
The last smile in Chosen, when she was finally free? I like leaving her there and knowing she's living her life out in the world and I didn't appreciate the idea of the hair double standing in for my hero.
I sound like a heartless asshole, re: cancellation.

All is well that ends in pizza.
From the responses to author Peter David's Smallville ending blog:
"In an ironic twist, all the actors whose characters' fates are in doubt demand more money and are replaced with members of the former cast of 'Angel.'"
Except Tom Welling, who is replaced by former "Friends" star Matthew Perry ("Could I *be* any more superhuman?"), after Perry learns that he has no future in movies whatsoever.

This this this. That is exactly what was bothering me about it, but I was having trouble articulating it. Thank you for explaining it so well, Allyson.
