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."
Angel: Is that what you think you are--a hero? Spike: Saved the world didn't I? Angel: Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.

[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.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think that Angel & Spike & Illyria & Gunn & Wesley & Lindsey & Eve survived the end of the show
But didn't the show end before anything happened to Angel and Spike and Illyria and Gunn?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Of course, nothing may happen at all, and he'll finish Moon, and the next show will go to pilot, and there could be no Spike flick at all, and the 'verse is truly dead.
Which is what I'd like, truth be told.
