Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Angel 5: Is That It? Am I Done?  

[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.

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

I'd pay to see a comic version of the story that Victor Infante's been writing in Buffistas Fic though.

Heh. I was thinking last night that I'm writing it like a comic book. If someone illustrates, we can pitch it. (:

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

But if you can't use Buffy you don't get the HSQ of Buffy turning up in the alley with Faith, Willow and 400 Slayers 10 seconds after that freezeframe.

I would really hate that scenario.

Wrod. Angel does not need his butt saved by Buffy.

I wouldn't look at it that way. The dude clearly needed backup in that scene. It's not like he's a damsel in distress.

My issue with it is simple. Show not called Buffy.

So? Had it been Illyria or Faith or Nina or anyone else would you have the same issue? Wait, was Illyria there?

Illyria was there. Illyria and Nina were characters on Angel the show. They were part of it. Bringing in Buffy would have been, to me, very Deus ex Machina.

Yep. And I'd lay odds on her surviving, at least, given what she can do to a car.

Illyria, Nina, Lilah, Kate the Cop, Gwen the Electro-Girl--I was seriously expecting her somewhere in there.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

That, I guess, is just a difference in view - Angel was always a spinoff, to me, and it seemed right that the parent show should re-enfold it at the end. It's the Buffyverse, not the Angelverse.
