Frank is DEAD to me.
I am not much of a fan of B/A and spent most of "I Will Remember You" cackling and rolling my eyes and calling Angel names, but "Prom" still got to me, damn the sparkly umbrella and Jonathan's speech and Giles talking about children surprising you with their graciousness and Angel showing up at the end. *sniff*
I think "Gift" was a flawed finale to a problematic season, but I still cry at the swan-dive and the aftermath. Acutally, I think most of that is Chris Beck's infernally heartbreaking score to the episode.
Pauses to listen for retching sound coming from, if I remember correctly, Matt the Bruins Fan among others.
You misremember. While I energetically spee-yack over all the schmaltz in "The Prom" and "I Will Remember You," I actually liked the snowfall in "Amends." Particularly with Buffy and Angel walking through it under that big theater marquee that had PRAY written prominently on it, apparently without having been specified by Joss.

Hmm. Then (on an opposite note) was it you who suggested that AMENDS was essentially the first episode of ANGEL the series? I remember that notion got tossed out here (though "here" was probably TT or WX) by someone, which I always liked.
I think both of Joe's are pretty funny!
Also, AH is said to have signed on to another sitcom pilot . . . wonder what this means for
Veronica Mars?
Goodbye last Buffy thread to host new Buffy episode discussion.

I know it wasn't me, but I like this idea. It certainly was the end of B/A (though it would end again in The Prom, and again again in IWRY, and for a third time in the Buffy finale, and possibly for a fourth time in The Girl In Question.) And it helped establish Angel, and not just Angelus, as an interesting character.
