It was very Wolverine-into-Mystique.

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

Huh. I thought the "lie to you" thing and the punch were terribly overdone. But that way leads to the whole divide of "loved the ending/despised the ending." Not going there again.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

The "lie" was good for me. I did like the Fred-to-Illyria change mid-punch but the actual fist through head looked so fake that I wasn't able to accept it within the show's reality.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I figure one of three things happened:
(1) Vail was some sort of demon that disintegrates like vampires upon death
(2) Illyria still had some vestigial time-warping powers, and getting that pissed off allowed her to hit him with not only physical force but also speeded up crumble-into-dust mojo
(3) Mutant Enemy ran out of CGI money halfway through the effect

I'm voting for number 3.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan
"Judgement" with an "e" is indeed an acceptable spelling. Just not amongst lawyers.
Okay. That is frustrating. Because "judgement" does look right, but I've been spelling it "judgment" since it's been beaten into my head that that is the only correct spelling. I had no idea both were acceptable. Every time I've accidentally spelled it with an e, I've had it corrected.
So weird.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This.
(It was also originally scripted to happen in super-slo-mo, but slo-mo effects mean more frames means more $$. So.)

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Next time, direct the person to a dictionary.

Hey. New board.
You talk about the the "lie to you" scene and I start tearing up.
Yeah, it worked for me.
The effect was bad, but the punch worked for me anyway. Want! More! Frillyria/Wes! Stupid cancellation.

I'm feeding my addiction by watching the entire series from the beginning. And by beginning I mean Season 1, episode 1.
4840 minutes of excellence.
