Every time I watch that finale I feel grief and wish to do more violence.
Specifically to the b******s who canceled the show. (Grr! Argh!) At least the season 6 comic will be out soon to ease my pain... Oh wait, this is new Angel I'm talking about. *prepares to feel more grief*
Even the littlest Joss chicks are absolutely kickass

Right there with ya on THAT one...! Well, both of them. If there's one thing I'm NOT looking forward to about Season 6, it's more deaths.
Me can't take no more! (thinking about Gunn now...grr argh)

Maybe we should set up some kind of support group?
I mean, between all Buffy characters
Select to view spoiler:
Oh GODS it took me WEEKS to recover from 'The Body'
Angel characters that died over the years
Select to view spoiler:
Noooooo! Not Fred!!! Anyone but Fred!!!
and Firefly/Serenity characters
Select to view spoiler:
Gorrammit Joss killing Wash is JUST TO GORRAM MUCH!!!
we'd have a pretty hefty turnout. And that's without the added grief from the Buffy and Angel comics.
"Hm, Joss is leaving 'Buffy'! I guess that means we won't be ripping the fans hearts out and tap dancing on them like we used to. Now, who shall we hire to replace him? Oh, here we go! The guy who created 'Runways'!"

i thought the finale of angel was... just dandy!
and joss blames donald sutherland* and others for the movie -
has never blamed the director much -
you should hear him on Alien 4 if you wannna know WRATH.:)
the watchers guide, for one, though careful to leave feathers unruffled, is pretty accurate.
*Joss does. not my words! not my opinion!
worship her

Oh it's a great finale, don't get me wrong! Heck, I think it's the best ending to anything since 'Blakes 7' and may even top that.
It's just... they were in the alley, and... it was raining, and... there were monsters, and... I loved those guys... *sob*

Ummm...it's "narrow" thinking to not understand why anyone wouldn't like either of those shows?
But it's open-minded to not understand anyone that does like them, as you feel?
Whatever.
Now, now, hang on a second. I don't remember Mistressahara in particular, or any of the non-Buffy-fans who've posted here in general, stating that we "don't understand anybody that does like" Buffy or Angel. I think those that aren't so crazy about the show/s have been reasonably respectful in stating their cases for why they, personally, did not like the shows, but not bashing them or acting as though nobody should like them, or that they were inherently "BAD," or anything like that. I think it's been a pretty friendly and rational debate so far, and I'm enjoying it. Personally, I apologize to the Buffy fans if anything I said could have been misconstrued as bashing the show or implying that their opinion of liking it was in any way "wrong."
"When you can't do somethin' smart, do somethin' right!" -Jayne Cobb quotes Shepherd Book
Actually, she has, and that's fine. That's her opinion.
I am NOT offended by someone not liking Buffy, that's her interpretation, and it's obviously yours, and you're both wrong.
What I said was that I don't understand not liking BUffy or Angel, which I still don't and that's not going to change. Doesn't mean I take it as an insult.
But to call my not understanding that perspective "narrow thinking", jsut because it's the opposite of hers?
I'm not the one interested in fighting here. I didn't start anything. She was apparently misinformed about the facts surrounding the making of the movie and it led her to misinterpret what I said and why I said it.

Lord, just let it go honey. Your the one making more of this than it is. Doesn't matter to me if it isn't what Joss wanted and I'm glad he was able to make up for it with tv, but MO is mine, I like the movie, I don't like the show, I like pink, I hate olives, and sometimes for no reason at all I scream at strangers on the street and tell them they dress horribly. K, not so much the last I'm just saying let's just LET IT GO and move on to something else hmmm?
