There's not enough time.
Sniffle. Snort. Wipe nose on sleeve.
I wish I had a big checklist to agree with all the things people are remembering....I keep saying "yep.....yep.....yep"- especially AD in "Billy", Nilly (Heh. Me with the rhyming.) I'd meant to say that. In fact, why don't I just say AD in everything he's done, the darker the better, for I love him so. Last night I was watching when he and Gunn played Risk.....the glee they had after slaying the fire-breathing thing and discussing their own agency..
Gah!
I am so going to be refreshing the board all day, and get no work done. (sniff).
Also -- loved the Angel/Connor Jasmine tribute to the tune of "Mandy."
And the "Man, look how hard I rock" expression on 70's!Angel's face when he hit Mandy on the jukebox.
There are so many others, but I'm more interested in what you all have to say. I really just wanted to pop in and say thanks for being Buffistas!
Okay, NOW I'm verklempt.
A few of my faaaaavorite things

Huh. Sad now.
There's a nice write up on zap2it today. my favorite line:
"The pain of loss I felt when they cancelled the show, I'm going to share," Whedon says.
It's really the last day. I just got a call from the person I'm watching the finale with. Promised to bring booze and something chocolate, as both will be essential.
This season of Angel has not been my favorite, but I'm still sorry to see it go.
"I'm not a eunuch!"
More "Guise Will Be Guise" fun:
1) The fake T'ish Magev: Magev: "You need to get over her. - Okay, what does she look like?"
Angel: "She's beautiful. - Small, blonde..."
Magev: "Right. So here's what you do. You go out and find yourself some small, blonde thing. You bed her, you love her, you treat her like crap, you break her heart. You and your inner demon will thank me, I promise."
Angel: "Uhm..."
2) Magev: "A little affected? Come on. How many warriors slated for the coming apocalypse do you think are gonna be using that hair gel? Don't get me wrong - you're out there fighting the ultimate evil you're gonna want something with hold."
3) Angel: "What's going on? - Were you in Virginia?"
Wesley: "That's beside the point."
4) Wes drinking blood: "Dear god! That's - nummy."
I think it's a real testament to Whedon that we are not just grieving that our show goes off the air, or that there is no more of his shows-- but also because he created a whole world, a universe to live in, that's going away today. Or at least I am.
You know, I'd read that quote from Joss, saying that he wanted it to hurt to watch the finale, because he needed to share the pain.
And, while I'm sure that it will only make the finale that much more kickass, the fans of the show already had the pain. We had lots of pain. So Joss just whips out his salt shaker to pour lots of it into our wounds!!!!
But, like I said, it'll be kickass.
