listersgirlWow.
Now that was a finale. I think I may have even cried at one point. I loved that the writers brought things back, and tied things in - the mention of friends who were lost (Doyle, Cordelia, Fred), references to earlier episodes. I loved that it was big and dramatic, and that people died, and that the group broke up, even though nothing hits me harder than friendships being broken for whatever reason.
And, oh, the ambiguity of the very end. Hopeful and depressing, all at once.
I was never as deeply into Angel as I was into Buffy. I watched, and loved, the first season, but somewhere in the next few I stopped watching (mostly because of circumstances, not disinterest). I started watching again last season when Faith showed up again, and I got totally hooked in. I think the show has had some problems finding (or choosing) the right tone, but sometimes it was brilliant, and I'll miss it.
And I can't believe there'll be no Jossverse on the small screen next year! Thank pete for DVDs.
ETA: I think I know what I'll be doing on Victoria Day.

ILLYRIA: I will make trophies of their spines.
ANGEL: Good to know you're on the team. Okay...
