Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Angel 5: Is That It? Am I Done?

I don't think Lindsey's spoken a single sense-making sentence this whole season. And I found it more than a little annoying.

Yes. I get that he's been trying to join the Circle, since I was told it, but I can't get from Dead End to this season in a believable way. I understand that they like CK and wanted him back, but they could have had him explain his change in attitude to Eve or something and I would have a lot less problem with his character arc.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Dan, as ever, your caps are great. In fact, this time around they seem especially wonderful. Without you, I'd never see the eps clearly.

Gotta say, I'd have expected Spike to say, "F.. er, um, hell yeah, I'm in," rather than that almost cautious hand-raise.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Spike is the only one of them who has paid the (pen)ultimate price Angel's talking about. He knows in concrete terms what they can expect, because he didn't expect to come back after the last Buffy!Apocolypse.

I just wanted to say that this is the best thread title ever. Makes me all sniffly.

Ann, that's a ferret.

OK. Saw the ep. And even though I was spoiled by the thread, the ending got to me.

So who dies? I'll go out on a (unspoiled) limb. Show called Angel ending. Show called Angel ends with end of Angel's journey -- he gets dusted.

Though this means "movies next year" was a fake-out.

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

Joss said he always planned to kill Buffy in the fifth season finale. There'd be some nice parallelism. But *sniff* I don't want him to die.

What is the origin of the phrase "show called Angel"? It's the title of the spoiler thread, so I figure it has some sort of meaning I'm missing.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Did Angel biting Drogan remind anyone else of Angel biting Kate?

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

"show called Angel"

IIRC, it's something Tim said -- to the end of "Show called 'Angel' not 'Needy Multi-Ethnic Street Kids'" to explain why more time wasn't spent with Gunn's gang.

I think Micole pointed out the similarity in structure to "Shroud of Rahmon," with the biting in the teaser and the rest of the episode told in flashback.

Except Angel didn't snap Kate's frickin' neck.

Sorry, I must have missed that. I read through the thread quickly last night.

Very good point.
