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.

What is even happening?

A bit of a rehash of what I said here, last night.

Busy, busy day. Feh.

Um.

The same publication responsible for "Vampire David Boreanaz" also did a nice writeup of the finale.

I have nothing to add to Micoles wonderful posts, though I'm surprised nobody mentioned Lindsays line about Eve being the only thing in his life not touched by Angel.

Still spinning over Wes' death. Ironic that it was at the hands of Vail - the one who restored his memories. Which ultimately led to Angels and Connors rapprochement. Talk about redemption for past sins.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Fred-as-lie was good for me, because Illyria clearly cared about Wesley and so I just read it as her expressing her feelings the best way possible.

During that moment, my brain flashed on a dying time during China Beach (maybe i'm mixed up - early 90s Vietnam army hospital drama with Robert "I'm not a hologram, I just play one on TV" Picardo). Kid's bleeding to death, wound irreparable, only survived to get to the hospital because of a tourniquet (or maybe inflatable pants, i don't know). They explain the situation to him, give him pen and paper to write a letter to his mother, he laments he's never even been kissed. The moment they loose the tourniquet, the nurse plants her lips on his. And he's gone.

And he's gone.

The evil is this way?

And the part of that show that stayed with me (if I am recalling correctly that it was this episode) -- that the kid told McMurphy (Dana Delany's character) that she would always remember him. She denied that she would. But she did.

The movie or the frog-asphyxiated executives at WB?

Either one works for me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Nice interview, FoneBone!

Joss posted at the Beta last night (is it cool to just copy his posts over to here, or not? I dunno if there is etiquette.) Made me laugh (of course) and cry (of course). He does that laughter through tears things pretty well, that guy.

I have to copy one sentence. It gave me a happy that might even last me until we see more Jossverse on TV.

I had dinner with Tim Minear the other night, and we talked about what kind of show we want to make next.

Off to read Jess' hubby's interview.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I'm still angry about the "Thank you from your friends at the WB" promo last night. For one shining second I was, oddly, both torn apart and uplifted, but then? Anger, anger, anger. It just wasn't the time.

I shouldn't dwell on this. But it smarts.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I think that Angel asked Lorne to kill Lindsey, for three reasons: 1. The "I'll do this one last thing for you" 2. Angel being so certain that Lindsey wasn't coming back 3. Why else would Lorne have had a gun?

I actually have not minded Connor in the last two episodes. I especially liked "You drop by for a coffee and the world's not ending? Please."
