i can foresee the day when i am at peace with the angel finale, but at the moment i'm bitter. lindseeeeyyyy!!!!! whywhywhy???? i don't understand why. except to make me cry, clearly. and to have lorne do it? what's with that? and... to trick him and all. i just don't see how that was necessary. meh. what lindsey said was perfect, though, of course.

yes, all the connor!love came pouring forth from me. i have not seen the creepiest of the connor eps, so it's easy enough for me to feel the love. and i felt it powerfully. ♥

and wesley. they set it up so it feels cruel to want him to live. but i do. because i never bought the fred thing... the great, destined love aspect of it. so i don't see that he should be quite as destroyed as all that. i think he could have recovered. and so his death scene just made me feel dirty inside.

do we even need to review the woman thing? thank goodness illyria was back to kicking ass. but harmony betrays angel and eve stands around like the most pathetic and useless thing that ever was. i used to kind of like her (i know i was the only one).

oh, and shanshu... that's it? it's like they knew they had to wrap it up but had no time to deal with it. have him sign it away, that's the ticket. meh.

so. i felt sad and betrayed. i think maybe someday i'll watch season 5 on dvd and think this ending was appropriate. but tonight i'm just pissed that it's the end.

oh, and, i’m back. ::removes crazy opera filter::

hear, hear. disappointed. i mean, yes, i love character death and all, but um. the pointlessness. the wesley/fred thing, i mean, when was it that we were supposed to see him snap enough to lose his will to live? i love ilyria though. can't help it. and i love the wesley/fred and wesley/ilyria stuff in this ep, except that A. w/f love should have been so much more well established and B. wesley shouldn't have died.

and as for lindsey. am i confused? am i living in an alternate world in which lindsey's redemption didn't already happen a couple seasons ago? did i miss something? and since when does angel kill humans willy-nilly, just because they have the potential for evil? on top of all that, i just don't understand at all how it was necessary for him to die, or why angel even thought he was that big a player? where was the setup for that? was it that teeny conversation in the boardroom? dumbness.

however, yes, loooved the connor stuff. even having seen the badness. i loved it completely and utterly. so that was a plus.

and as i was just reading in this article (http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&call_pageid=971358637177&c=Article&cid=1085049205610) today, joss loves the fanfic, so maybe he's just doing us all a favor by leaving it openended. but yeah. stupid shanshu. stupid poop.

oh well. time heals all angst.
