But, but didn't they give the world Home and Away?
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Hah! They also gave the world Neighbours but then cancelled it, so Channel 10 took over and made it a "success". They created Home and Away to try and make up for it.
Two more fucking good reasons to cause Channel 7 execs extreme pain.
Speaking of extreme pain: no more Angel! Waaaah!
Loved, loved, loved the ending.

I loved it too...although (my Buffista card should be revoked for life for this) I actually thought there was one more episode, so I had to readjust everything slightly when I realised that nope, that was it.

Loved, loved, loved the ending.
Ah, so you folks finally got it? Totally agree on the loving it part. I think the NAFDA buffistas were generally very happy with it, but I'm memfaulting on whether there was an uproar with the fandom at large.

I thought the end of Angel was pretty much perfect.
As for H and A. Didn't Guy Pierce, Heath Ledger and Melissa WhatshernamethatsnowinAlias all appear in it? Not bad really. (This does not consitute a defense of H and A by the way).

Guy Pierce, at least, was on the vastly superior Neighbours.

And yeah, the end of Angel - and I was disappointed with scads of the last few episodes - was truly, truly wonderful.

By the power of imdb it would appear he appeared in both. Bet he likes to keep that quiet.

Hmmm, the one where they went to Italy was pretty rank, wasn't it? I thought some of the later episodes were pretty good though--eg the one where Connor came back (the first time). But then I lose my critical faculties when Connor is on screen.

The connor one rocked, but I found the Evil Smurf Fred plot incredibly talky and static and Trekesque until the last episode. And I've scooped the memory of the Italy episode out of my brain with a spoon.
