I always took it that drinking the blood was a temporary thing. It gave a charge at the time, but would wear off.

The same thing happened when he drank Buffy's blood after he was poisoned. The blood of a slayer cured him, but he did not have any lasting slayer powers as a result and he almost drained her dry.

It even seemed to work the opposite way too, when Buffy drank Dracula's blood. She was under a temporary 'thrall', but then it wore off.

OK, but here's where I gotta wonder.....when he drank Buffy's blood, Angel had been poisoned, and her blood was merely the antidote. A Slayer's powers doesn't come specifically from her blood, but her entire being. However, Angel was healthy when he bit Marcus. Marcus had the power of the ancients 'in his blood' the power which made Marcus so strong acted equally on Angel. And we saw how Marcus pretty much kicked everyone's ass, up until then.

For Angel, fighting an army of monsters would use up that energy, eventually. But since he used little of it to defeat Marcus, it seems most of it should still be in Angel's system when the 'final battle' started.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

I finally finished Angel. I know, took me long enough.

I say it was similar to an energy drink. It was a boost that lasted for a limited time. It is conceiveable that he would still be a bit juiced in the alley.

Side note: I'm pissed at what he made Lorne do. Very pissed.

Hi, TWG!

I suspect that the jolt was temporary, but one never knows.

I agree about Lorne. However, the truth was that the organization of Wolfram and Hart WAS corrupting Our Heroes. They each, I think, did things in that last season that they would never have considered before. Lorne was loyal to Angel, but realized that he did not belong there in the end. After the thing with Fred and Ilyria, Lorne was never quite the same.

It might have been Cordy's visit that put Angel back on track, I don't know.

but we are going to find out soon!

I'm pretty excited about IDW's Angel season 6 comics which Joss is helping Brian Lynch to write...
we are going to find out everything about that battle in the S5 finale,
about whether the strength from Hamilton is permanent (that never occurred to me, it is a very cool thought) and about which of our gang survived!

(I'm enjoying the BtVS S8 comics and I expect to enjoy these just as much!)
