But I think that they finally sacrificed the arc.
I think there were meta reasons for that.
Although it is ironic that it went back to the format it was supposed to have year one (i.e. no or little arc).
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

[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.

I understand. I just don't like.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I understand.
But do you comprehend?
I heard Alias was put under the same pressure to be less arc-y and more stand-alone-y last season, and having finished watching it on DVD, I think it was still pretty successful at keeping a decent arc, moreso than Angel S5.

I tried to get that in, but my brain just couldn't do it today. Thanks!

What is even happening?
I was just going through my bookmarks, to clean them out, and found this: Ling Mao "Angel 4: Well, It's a Start." Feb 25, 2004 7:21:51 pm PST
I'll paste the text, because Angel 4 is closed, and could get archived.
From an Angel writers' panel at last year's San Diego con:
Jeff Bell then directed the conversation to another writer, Steven DeKnight, who was greeted with huge applause and offered, "I'll tell you an aspect. I wish I could sit here and tell you that we struggle and it's tears and sweat 24 hours a day, but we have the best time you've ever seen. We spend 90 per cent of our time laughing our asses off. And to give you an example, the other day I believe we spent a good, solid hour with a vigorous argument between who would win in a fight against an astronaut and a caveman. And it actually got angry in the room!"
I was laughing myself sick during that exchange.
eta...Oh upon scrolling, I guess Ling Mao posted that because the Astronauts v. Caveman episode aired then. I thought it aired later in the season, and that she's displayed some awesome E.S.P. t /litella

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, but it looks terrible. Someone on LJ said that it's Abraham Lincoln, with a sword, and she's right.

It's pictured with a sword, I hope it comes with the sword!
