I'm gonna smack 'em for making us wait a whole summer (that is, if we see it at all, pending shoe renewal) to see if/when/how Cordy's gonna wake up. But then again, I love Cordy, and I'm definatly an A/C shipper, so I may be biased (If they try to shmoosh Angel and Buffy back together on nexts week's Buffy, I'll smack them again). I'll admit to screaming "goddamn you Connor!" when I saw Cordy all strapped with explosives... who knew what'd happen (is Charisma even coming back for sure next season?).

I'll also admit to getting teary during the last scene.

You have to keep in mind that Charisma was EXTREMELY pregnant at the time of filming for those last episodes. Don't worry, she'll be back and good as ever. (At least, she better be. I hated the whole evil Cordy, sleeping with Connor bit.)

I also enjoyed Fred's reference to MacGyver. That humored me, since the WB will be ressurecting that franchise next year.

Just for me...I thought it was the best season finale of either Angel or Buffy. I like it that they didn't wait for the last episode for the cliche confrontation with the Big Bad like they usually do; that's why I liked the end to Season 4 of Buffy so much when we got "Restless".

But I just felt that this wrapped everything up so nicely while definitely giving us something to look forward to again. Team Angel is just that...they're a team again. Although it seems that the foundation is there for possible infighting again which seems to be the way at W&H. But I guess we'll just see if that tradition continues since they won't have to answer to the Senior Partners...or will they?

I love the fact that in a sense the prophecy, fake or not, came true. The father killed the son, albeit to give him a better life. And by doing so Angel proved that he loved his son more than anything in the world by giving him up, the same as he did for Buffy when he was restored to being a human. Of course, one wonders now if they'll ever revisit the original prophecy that they set up in which Connor was supposed to kill the time travelling demony guy who's name I could never spell. Sajhan? Something to that effect.

Wow, I feel like I'm writing an essay or something. I love Wesley's act of kindness even though it amounted to nothing. At least he tried and once again proved his feelings for Lilah were real. And I'm definitely looking forward to whatever they have in store for Mr. Gunn. I'm gonna lean towards the idea that he's not entirely human anymore.

So what happens now? The old saying about power and corruption comes to mind. Will Team Angel be able to stay with the straight and narrow, or will they become everything they've hated over the past 4 years? Can't wait to find out.

I'm sooo glad we are rid off Connor, at least as a regular - he was annoying me immensely. And they did it nicely, not killing him off, but giving him a good life. And who knows, maybe we'll have a chance to see a nice, friendly, normal Connor one day...

Is it by now approved that Angel will come back next season? I certainly do hope so. "Mr. Angel" gives the story a whole new twist! I hope that means we will continue to see Lilah, I really have grown to like her.

All I want to know is: What the hell happened to Gunn? I wanna know what happened to him, or what he saw.

I loved it :)

I liked that angel wasn't impressed or interested till:

"Cool! Is that high def?"

I was hoping through the entire episode they'd take the deal. Talk about a radical new direction! Is it just me or are those sets insanely large? I guess the hotel has been pretty damn big too though(is that a real building or a set? I assume set)

Me too.

I liked her line, "It's the deal of a life time. (beat) Just... you know... not mine." or something to that effect.

Anyway, I was happy, I've been waiting to see Daddy kick his son's ass all season long and I finally got it to see it. I laughed in the episode when they're all free except Conner and Angel throws him out the window. Oh, sorry going into a tangent. I really didn't like Conner. Although I had to agree on him with the magic. Hello, I know it's a major theme on the show but every Gorramn episode? Plot crutch anyone?

Simply put, I liked it.

ZOE: I wish there was another way...

DOBSON: Oh, no, no. That woman is like a dragon. I mean, I believe she has a tail. If there's any other moons we need to visit, or if we could just
fly very slowly...

Hi There, John Scott again...I thought the ender
was good with the offer and I was also thinking
"Connor, stop with the freak-outs". Talk about
a screwed-up kid growing up in a hell dimension.
Once again, Angel is the better man(sorta man) by
saving his kid from a life of misery. Touching.
But anyways, that's my quick rant, and love to all

That last scene was a direct depiction of every dream Angel had for his son, and for himself too for that matter. I guess selling his soul to the lawyers was worth giving Connor the ultimate peace.

I'm curious to see what circimstances will bring Cordy out of her coma; what happened between Gunn and the pretty kitty in the room; and what kind of new night club Lorne will get to put together. Now that W&H won't be trying to blow it up anymore, he might actually get somewhere.
