Wonderful links! Thoughtful, intelligent, and not overwhelmingly negative. Thanks PM.

[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.

Just skipped ahead. Saw the finale. Satifying but I think I need to watch it again to take it all in.
Did anyone notice that the actress who played the Crazy slayer earlier this season is the same actress who plays Theresa on The OC?

I questions the taste of Canadian Angel fans. At least the ones who voted for the Space Marathon. These are the top ten episodes as aired in the Angel Marathon today.
10. 4x06, Spin the Bottle
9. 1x18, Five by Five
8. 3x13, Waiting in the Wings
7. 5x15, A Hole in the World
6. 4x15, Orpheus
5. 5x11, Damage
4. 1x09, Hero
3. 5x12, You're Welcome (100th Episode)
2. 1x08, I Will Remember You
1. 5x14, Smile Time
Not one episode from Season Two! Not one from the whole pregnant Darla arc! Where was AYNOHYEB? I was Shocked and Appalled!
I think the only one on the list that I voted for was Smile Time.

Not Spin the Bottle? That was my favorite ep of season 4. Though I wasn't around in the threads that year, so it may not have been well-received here, I dunno.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Well, so many of the Darla arcs needed, well, the whole arc to make sense.
Excuse me. I need to go wash now.

Spin the Bottle was okay, but it wasn't a standout for me.

There was a specific point made that Drogyn had been given, not immortality, but "eternal youth." He didn't look young when Angel killed him. He was withered and his hair was faded and almost gone.
Huh. I was confused about what had happend to change his appearence so much, but it never pinged that it might be age.
That said, I'm not so sure about the theory that his telling a lie would cost him his eternal youth. Because eternal youth isn't exactly a picnic when its spent living in (okay, near) a cave guarding the corpses of dead gods. An out like that doesn't make for a very secure guardian - the isolation and despair might make it very tempting. OTOH, the way he reacted to questions might then be a defensive measure against his own 'human' fallibility. Still, I'm inclined to think that if there would have been some on-screen tell if that's what we were supposed to glean from his appearance at the end. It seems more likely to be an indication of the power of the Thorn when they're gathered together, especially since that became a key element behind Angel's subsequent planning. But hopefully someone has a more coherent theory, since right now I'm not very clear on what happened, let alone what it was supposed to mean.

Wow. Not a single episode from my favorite season, and at least three episodes I hated anyway. Weird top 10 in my eyes, but I'm probably not representational in the least.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I know people like Smile Time a lot more than I did, but number 1? Really? Huh.
