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.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

[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.

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

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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Sex just doesn't cut it anymore. Pink Flamingos do.
Ahem.
I can't be sure if this is the completely right place for this; not being on this board for long means I'm still working out the kinks.
I missed the episode. And couldn't get someone to tape it for me.
So, I'm lost. I need my Angel-fix, especially since its penultimate episode goodness.
If anyone has a tape they can send me (I"ll pay for postage and the tape), I would appreciate it.
