Unless he was looking to commit suicide, I don't buy it. And Illyria isn't all-knowing. She could have been just as fooled. I really have no idea what the out was planned to be, but I'm sure one exists in the back of Mr. Whedon's mind.
i acknowledge all possibilities and this certainly makes sense.
still, wesley is not infallible (he did get fooled about the prophecy about angel killing his son). he may have completely underestimated vail. i guess we will never REALLY know.

Wesley is going to free Lilah from Hell. Just my guess.

Wesley can't even remember what Lilah looks like ;)

Yes, he can.

In the season five episode, Origin, Wesley breaks the spell and his memory returns.

The Faith and Connor would be a cool pair. If Angel is out of the picture she would easily take it upon herself to look after Connor.
None of the other characters really work though for me. Wesley is dead. Illyria is too one dimensional. Willow really doesn't want to be a fighter. Gwen only cares about $$$. They'd have to find some other super beings. Plus the whole super evil world ending thing will get old quick I think.
It's a good idea but I don't think it could work.

But that's what the Buffyverse is all about... Sounds like you just don't like these shows or the characters in them and should be watching something else.
Illyria is far from one-dimensional, there's a thousand things I could do with that character. You brought up one good point, though - Gwen can finance the new team
Great idea!

I wasn't being literal. And there doesn't seem to be much need for spoiler quotes - people have spoiled half of S5 in this thread already!
