A nice Chicago Tribune article on the show.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So, um... I've been gone for... a week. Was there a general consensus opinion on the finale? Yay? Nay?
Sorry.

I've seen a lot more Yay than Nay here. Hell, even on TWoP. It could just be that the Yays are more vocal because they have many many fascinating, lovely reasons for loving it, whereas the Nays don't hate it enough to keep on talking about how much they hate it.

I think that people who do not have any shows that they would consider "appointment tv" are not as aware of the tv season
I think even if you just watch whatever's on, you still know new shows/episodes start in the fall and finales air in May, more or less. It's just so heavily promoted that it's probably like knowing more or less what the baseball season is, even if you don't watch the sport.

No, we realized that trying to denigrate something others were calling the most perfect thing ever, full of deep metaphorical meaning that touched their hearts was cruel and self-defeating. We went to LJ.

Eh. For me, I disliked it but in a very detached way. I think Angel stopped being my show long enough ago that I can't summon up the energy to go on about what I hated.
Though I am sorely tempted to put in some old DVDs now and remember the love affair.

I've been saving my S2 and S3 DVDs. If the rerun of Angel--assuming they run re-runs, the bastards--doesn't please, I'll pop in a DVD and catch an old episode. Hubby lost my tape of Smile Time, so I'm hoping to at least see that again. "Which of you short-bus bastards turned the CEO of Wolfram & Hart into a puppet?" and "Spike! Just turn around and walk away!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Really? Where? This sounds like fun!

Hey. New board.
The tvtome rating is an impressive 9.21 for the finale. I think "yay" is a pretty general consensus.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Faith=Hot
I just have to disagree with this, here. Faith ≠ Hot, Faith > Hot.
