By the way, Steph, Mark will be in Cleveland on Sunday.
So close! And yet so far. Plus, Hellmouth-y.
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!
'Just Rewards (2)'
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Appropriate! Wait, I don't remember whether the Cleveland Hellmouth has been mentioned yet. SPOILERS.
Today's off-topic thread is about whether jelly donuts are the worst or awesome. Also, one bold person has come out against donuts altogether.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Book died fighting to protect the home and the people he loved. He failed, but it was a good death, and he got to see one of his best friends one more time before he died, too. We just didn't get to see him being all heroic, which is too bad.
I have to say Fred's death was the worst, because it still bothers me, and I didn't even like the character that much. She and Cordelia were both consumed by a god-like monster, but Fred's death was worse because Cordy's spirit continued, as we saw. Fred was just *gone*, and that's beyond the not-fair-ness of a sudden undeserved death, like Tara's. I wanted to grab Illyria and squeeze it until Fred came out.
Best death was Buffy's (second). She didn't have to die, she could have saved the world by tossing the little cuckoo's egg off the platform, and it would have been justified, too - one girl who wasn't really a person to save the universe, that's a bargain. Buffy sacrificed herself not just to save the world, but to save her sister.

Worst death was Spike's, because it didn't stick.
Joyce's was definitely the most powerful death for me in terms of emotive impact. But I think the ones I enjoyed the most were the Judge's (if that really counts as a death?) and those of Holland Manners and most of his Special Projects division in the wine cellar.

That gets my vote for Most Viciously Enjoyable Death(s).

Given that Angel 5 wasn't specifically intended to be the last season, I never felt that Fred was completely out of the picture. Certainly Illyria kept enough of her memories to imitate her that it was never seemed done deal. So I was never completely convinced that Fred was dead.

Unlike Angel's after Buffy sent him to hell?

Angel didn't die, he went directly to Hell without passing Go. Buffy, Darla, and Spike are the only ones who've gone backsies on actually dying (unless you count all vampires).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Angel didn't die,
"I kissed him, and I killed him."
That's as much as dead as the others got.
