It makes me wonder just what Joss and Co. had in mind for Angel next season. No Wes, no Lorne, no Lindsey, possibly no Gunn. I'm kinda glad it ended!
Errrr... I kinda think that if the series weren't ending, this season would've ended differently.

[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 knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
Was killing Lindsey Lorne's task or was that part freelancing? Did "I've heard you sing" mean "You may think you've changed, and Angel may believe you've changed, but I've seen your future - and I can't let that happen"? Maybe he didn't want to go back not because of what Angel asked him to do but because of what he'd become in his time with the MoG. Not sure I buy my own argument, but I do think it was ambiguous.

This heart ain't gonna cut itself out
Fanfuckingtastic ending for this show. Gah. I'm just...I am without words.
And those monsters coming at them were all shadowy and loud and totally creeepy!
I think the entire human portion of the MoG are goners. Doyle, Cordelia, Wesley, Fred, Gunn in about 10 minutes.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I flashed back to the Buffy episode and Giles telling Buffy that you can always tell the good guys by the white hats, the bad guys wear black and nobody ever dies.
GILES
Yes. It's terribly simple.
The good-guys are stalwart and true.
The bad-guys are easily distinguished
by their pointy horns or black hats and
we always defeat them and save the day.
Nobody ever dies;and everybody lives
happily ever after.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh! And Gunn! With the double Eject-O-Stakes!
And how fucking creepy is it that Fred and Wesley got to die in each other's arms?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
That's been my big question on this finale- how the heck was this just going to be a season finale.
I love shows that turn my world upside down. Agreeing that the WB's "Thank you" was too much. Am in fact broken by tv. But good broken. In a horrible way.
Joss, as expected, you've paper-cut me, poured salt in the wound, gave me an indian burn, paddled my ass, and pushed me face down in the mud.
Thank you sir, may I have another?

Gunn seriously rocked in this episode. Between the scene with Anne and the stakes out of his sleeves.

It's a remora, dimwit.
And again, fighting the dragon, ref. to saints and that original martyr hero, Beowulf. (I don't really consider that a spoiler since I'm guessing most people would realize that if you were in one of the first bits of fiction in the Englishy world you're probably not still alive unless you're a vampire, but then it'd be Beovamp and AP English would have been a lot more interesting.)

So....is that it? Are we done?

And how fucking creepy is it that Fred and Wesley got to die in each other's arms?
It had to happen. I'm thwapping myself in the head for not seeing the symmetry before the episode aired.
Joss loves symmetry. Of course they had to die in each other's arms: it seems so obvious now.
