Angel totally had Lindsey wacked.
After their scene, there's no way I can read this as anything but his consolation prize.
Gunn: You ready? Fred: Is no an acceptable answer?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Has anyone posted links to these yet?
Nope, but I'm so not surprised. They did exactly the same thing to Buffy, after all.

Nah, amych, not surprised at all. But what they are selling? cracks me up. A brown belt that was part of costuming one day for Angel? WTF?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
ANG1108 ANGEL LEATHER JACKET: This black leather jacket (no size) was worn on screen in Episode 4, Season 5 by Angel on the television show "Angel."
Just ep 4? How is it different from the leather jacket he wears in every other episode?

Love love Micole's comments on the Anne subplot. Well said!

I loved Spike kicking ass while holding a baby.
I missed this. Last I remember seeing was him turning and finding the Brethren saying "Put the holy vessel back in the bassinet." (I can just see the Brethren at Baby Gap--or, at least, poring over the website.)

"Church, cult, cult, church. So we get bored somewhere else every Sunday. Is this really going to change our day to day life?" Bart - the Joy of Sect
Nora Deirdre - I completly agree WRT the Godfather. I actually thought that (and mentioned it somewhere way up thread) when Angel looked around the room after his Black Thorne initiation. I was taking bets on who would be killed in a revolving door.....
Micole: as seems to frequently be the case, thank you for putting into (very eloquent) words what I was thinking. It was a nice subtle touch.
(jumping on the Micole's spicy braiiiins bandwagon)

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Micole, I will continue to believe that Wes had no intention of dying. He knew it was a possibility, sure and it didn't bother him, but he wasn't actively seeking out a suicide mission. Wes doesn't have much of a reason to lie to Illyria, and I really don't think he would, especially in the context of the conversation they were having (truth vs. lies).
I just ran home for lunch, and reviewed Wes's death and the ending again. This time I let myself start to have the cry. This time for Gunn, too, because, no matter what happened in that fight, Gunn wasn't coming out alive. Makes me sniffle.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Am I the only one who thinks Wesley wasn't actually planning to die? Or part of him wasn't, anyway; though part of him found it a relief.
Nope. I've agreed with everything you've said. Just picture me in a corner, nodding and smiling and going "what Micole said!"

I also like the idea (though it didn't occur to me till I read it here) that he has known for some time that this was coming, and he was not looking forward to it.
I forget which episode it was, the one where it opens with Lorne in a bar and the bartender asks him to read his aura? Lorne does, and then complains that he's tired of lying to his friends, but he'd go out and do it some more. I've got a feeling that Lorne knew since Fred sang right before she died exactly what was going to go down and he was resisting it with all his might.
