I think the "network" was falling all over themselves to get that John Wells Dark Shadows remake. Not enough room for two vampire dramas, so they went with the one from the mainstream popular John Wells and kicked Joss to the curb. I am going to miss Wesley more than any of the others (except for the lovely Winnifred), because I think there was so many stories yet to tell for that multi-layered character. Yet another in a long series of sad days for us Browncoats.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

This really hurts. I think Im going to cancel my cable at the end of the season with nothing to look forward to in the near future. Gorram it, Firefly is my only hope.

The upcomming Angel episode this week really looks funny too.

Dammit! This was the first year I begna watching Angel, and now it's over? Well, shit! Joss Whedon has no television shows now. It went from three to zero in a year and a half.

Angel - now we'll never know about his big battle, where he (or Spike) fights for good (or evil) and turns the tide, or whatever...

No Whedon shows...this hasn't happened since '96. Damn, wtf am I going to watch now? They stopped airing MST3K Saturday mornings...and now this.

He'd better get on the FF television series.

Hey, but no one mentioned the good news:

Quote:

"Like some of the great series that are leaving the air this year, including 'Frasier' and 'Friends,' the cast, crew, writers and producers of 'Angel' deserve to be able to wrap up the series in a way befitting a classic television series, and that is why we went to Joss to let him know that this would be the last year of the series on The WB," the network says in a statement. "We have discussed continuing the Angel legacy with special movie events next year, which is still on the table. "

So..a movie...that'd be nice, eh?

TV Movies seems to be the suggestion - if there is a movie, I'm guessing it would be Buffy.

Then again, presumably this will begin the rumours about Superman again, what with both properties being WB.

Am I the only person who never found Fred all that attractive? I grew tired of her by the second episode when the writers kept giving everyone lines expressing what a beauty she is. If she was truly a beauty, we'd see it. If you have to keep telling us she's a beauty, well darlins ... I'm not buying it.

Criminy, she needs a sandwich -an ice cream sandwich. Skinny, scrawny without even shadow of a hint of a curve on her. Stick figure in the sand.

I, for one, won't miss Fred. Everyone else, I'll miss like members of the family.

What a shame. I never got seriously into Angel until 2/3 of the way into the 4th season. I remember turning on one of the episodes in the Jasmine arc, looking at the various "previously on Angel clips", and having my jaw hit the floor. There was so much back story and interesting developments that I knew this was a complicated show...and I wanted to know more! I've seen just about all of them by now.

Most TV executives seem to hate story arcs, and want more stand-alone episodes. For me, it was the complexity and "epicness" of the story arc that made me want to watch the show. So, needless to say, I've been a little disappointed in this season (with its focus on stand-alone episodes). Still, I hoped it would continue.

(stuff cut)



Hmmm, it was the fact that she was so much unlike your typical hollywood bimbo type that attracted me to her in the first place. She is a little on the thin side, but it's more her cute geekyness that I find attractive then anything else.

Wow, I'm surprised. I think Fred is gorgeous, and she has a great ass.
