not fade away
Well, that's it then. Angel is over. Done. Finished. The finale kicked lots of ass, but I do have a few complaints. First off, WHY did they have to kill Wes? I love Wes. Couldn't they have just killed Eve or Harmony instead? Yeah, yeah, emotional resonance... but still. GAH. And what the fuck was that ending about? Not only was it a cliff-hanger, it was a mid-scene cliff-hanger. It just stopped. Now that I've had some time to think it over, it's appropriate... the fight never ends. But it did lack the closure that one generally expects and/or desires in a SERIES finale.
But still, I loved it. I had to pee the whole time but I absolutely refused to budge, no matter how many commercials I thought were left. As I told Adam, "It's the last one I'll ever get! I'm not going anywhere." And I'll admit to crying. I'm a big geek that way. But Wes' death got me, and then again at the end when it was just the four of them in an alley. It's always an alley on this show.
Oh, and a big fat FUCK YOU to the WB for their "Thanks for 5 great years!" clip thing after the finale. Yeah, "Thanks! You're cancelled." Asshats. I hope every "fresh, exciting" new show you try out flops like a fat kid coming off of a diving board.
Bah. So, so sad. But Jasmine finally got booted off of American Idol, so that's something.
