Time hasn't passed for them. So I'm where Wolfram is. They may die.
They haven't yet.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They're all dead. They just don't know it yet.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.
They're all dead. They just don't know it yet.
And locked in a hatch on an island off the coast of Australia.

Well, Connor's still around.
I understand the "if they were alive, they're alive" thing, and that's fine, but I don't see why Connor's got to be alive if others aren't. I mean, sure Angel sent him away. But does he really think that all the evil baddies can't figure out who he is, or at least that he might be important given that Angel spent his last day with him? Plus, the coming to save the day in the fight against AB (can't think of the character's name now, but it will come) isn't exactly low profile.

If I only had a brain...
This is SUCH a Schrödinger's moment. They're all 50% dead until Tim opens the script.
Okay, Fred is 99% dead; Lindsey and Wesley are a mere 75%, as we saw them die but nobody said "They are totally, utterly, no-give-backs pinky swear dead."

So they're only mostly dead?

Right.

they could be brought back at any time. We saw Willow take the bullet out of Buffy, so we know it can be done. Maybe Eve?

libkitty -- Hm. Well, I don't think that Angel & Spike & Illyria & Gunn & Wesley & Lindsey & Eve survived the end of the show. Connor did. Nothing has happened in that fictional world since the show ended, because... the show ended. Therefore he's still around there.
This all sounds very reasonable in my head.

That happens to me a lot, too. Me. In my own head.
I... am just interested to see what Tim does with it. I'll take whatever timeline, and if it's post, hope I can wave the hands. Hell, I watch the Stargates and Alias. I am le Pro.
