Well, I just saw it, and I can say it was a little...disappointing. There's not much else the writers could have done, but it was interesting all the same. There were a lot of unanswered questions left. However, I am glad to see they stopped taking themselves seriously in the end. The script had a lot more one liners and humor in general than the most of the episodes in the last season. What did you think, if you decided to watch it?

Apologise for the bad english-it's 10:30 at night. I normally go to sleep around 10:00.

    WTH, can't believe no one replied

    i never actually followed angel, so the finale seemed your typical "oh demon, let's go kill it!" episode. my loss i guess. smallville season finale was better though.

    I loved Angel, it had great story lines and was an all round great show. I wasn't happy to hear that 'Fox' cancelled the show, it could have gone on for a while yet. I thought it was a great ending seeing as they had to rush the story line...sad to see it go. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I was extremely disappointed aswell. I read a spoiler that Amy Acker was going to play her ' Illyria ' character for another 2 seasons, but Joss Whedan had to wrap it up quickly by killing off the senior partners and leaving an open ended finale. Shame Shame. Well England gets the last episode soon <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I was a little disappointed too, but not because of the ending, more because of the lack of a proper fight for Spike, the killing of Lindsay (which didn't seem to really fit) and the excessive speed at which everything progressed.

    Should have been a 2 hour special, really.

    Yeah. They had way too many plot lines to tie up for 1 hour.

    Agreed. I so hate fox! They cancel all the good shows. Angel, Firefly, Futurama....the list goes on my friends! <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yes.. I am now going to go and throttle Fox for being retards.. again.

    Other then that. I loved that show.. I mean. come on David(Angelus).. he is so hot and with James(Spike).. couple of very fine young men. They were just beginning to get their wings spread too, I mean acting wise.. it took them a while to develop their characters during Buffy .. and Buffy's last two seasons I thought were really good. I actualy prefered the more serious matters then not. But I am kind of peculiar that way. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    My local fox station calls it the WB hour; Smallville and Angel are part of it.

    Look: <a href='http://www.thewb.com/Shows/Show/0,7353,%7C%7C139,00.html' target='_blank'>http://www.thewb.com/Shows/Show/0,7353,%7C%7C139,00.html</a>

    Same with Smallville: <a href='http://www.thewb.com/Shows/Show/0,7353,||126,00.html' target='_blank'>http://www.thewb.com/Shows/Show/0,7353,||126,00.html</a>

    Why would another network have a website for it? I also checked the FOX website and there is no mention of either of these shows.

    Networks often sell the rights to a tv show to another network. Thats what happened with Buffy the Vampire slayer; Fox sold it to UPN <a href='http://www.tvtome.com/BuffytheVampireSlayer' target='_blank'>http://www.tvtome.com/BuffytheVampireSlayer</a>

    Here's more proof if you dont believe me: <a href='http://www.tvtome.com/Angel/' target='_blank'>http://www.tvtome.com/Angel/</a>

    Notice the part where it says network? IT SAYS WB, NOT FOX <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Fox distributes it, the WB produces it. Big difference.

    EG. Valve produced Half-Life, and sierra distributed it.

    There were talks by weadon about a possible revival by another network. Hopefully one of the other sharks will hone in for the kill and bring it back.

    Or another spin-off. Spike has lots of potential.
  • SnidelySnidely Join Date: 2003-02-04 Member: 13098Members
    I don't think Angel ever recovered from the Connor (unsure if that's the right spelling for his name) mankiness. "Evil Cordelia" was the naffest plot line, and screwed up the show.

    I wasn't expecting much, so I wasn't too dissapointed. However, Spike pretty much saved this series for me. I hope he does get a spin off show. As long as they give him a different take on the hunting and slaying, anyway. The first few series would be great, and after that, the writers would screw up as usual. :/

    What I found funny was that the muppet looked almost identical to Angel. Great stuff. :D

    Isn't Jim Henson dead?

    I mean, the production company: Jim Henson Productions.

    They own the copywrite on "Muppets".

    I'm pretty sure it was the Jim Henson Company who made them.

    When that episode finished, i watched the credits and there were no mention of Jim Henson Productions (i recorded it).

    Yes, WB produces it. I live about three blocks away from the Warner Ranch Studios, and I couldn't help but laugh at the half-hearted picketers... early evenings, it was the goth kids. During the day and overnight though, they got their parents to stand out with signs reading stuff like 'Life isn't worth living without Angel!'. Pretty pathetic, honestly.

    Even moreso when the police showed up and had them move off the WB property (they apparently own the sidewalk and traffic signal at each of their gates, for security reasons)... and they moved down and were picketing a gas station about five blocks away. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->


    Honestly, I never really watched it so it didn't affect me much... 'Buffy' made me incredibly cynical toward the whole series of shows. In fact, the only lousy part is that Spike's stunt double won't be picking up any more residuals from the re-runs, and he hangs out at a get-together once or twice a month. Sucks for him, has to look for work now (well, beyond doing 'tarot readings' where he cold-reads the sucke^H^H^H^H^Hclient).

    I'm not a religous man, but amen to that network!

    Although the sexy Eliza Dushku (who played Faith in Buffy and starred a few times in Angel) got her own spin off show not so long ago which is again, another one of Whedon's creations.
