'Beneath You'
[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 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.
That's "Lie to Me". How apropos. Off to watch the end of the basketball game. Thanks everyone. Show's been great, you've been great. Au revoir.
So....is that it? Are we done?
I was just going to say that. All I know is that the fight goes on...
I think Angel specifically told Lorne to kill Lindsey. I think Lorne would have killed Lindsey if he could have directly blamed him for Fred's death, or he attacked, but just knowing that he had an evil future would be something he'd report to Angel and then let him make the decision. I do think that's a sharp bit of irony - that Lorne's now all morally gray and doing stuff he considers wrong because he joined with the good guys.
Wow. I think that worked on all levels.
It hasn't hit me that its all over now. The creation is done, but I don't think it's day seven yet.
No cliffhanger Joss? Yeah. right.
Joe--I'm pretty sure that killing Lindsey was the "one last job" that Angel gave to Lorne.
I kinda think that if the series weren't ending, this season would've ended differently.
Maybe, maybe not. We'll never know. Unless there are script sides out there that have Joss' original intentions in them. Anyone know?
Not really happy about the death of Lindsey (not just on a liking the character level, but on a "I don't get the reasoning behind it" level.)
I'm liking Joe's theory. Killing Lindsey was Lorne acting solo. He'd read Lindsey, had seen him returning to evil, and couldn't let him live.
t on edit but Madrigal's theory is good too. Hmmm....
Really, it does sort of fit for Angel to end this way because the emphasis with him wasn't the reward, or actually being able to atone. It's like what Buffy said in "Amends" - strong is fighting, and it's what the good guys do everyday. For Angel inactivity would be the bad ending.
Um. They're all dead. Or I read them as all dead, but going down fighting.
Unless there are TV movies.
Or Illyria might survive, because she's the one left who'd want it least.
I'm just so relieved Connor got out. For now.
Damnit damnit damnit.
No more show. Show gone.
