*sobs* No more Jossverse on Australian TV!

That's right, the Angel finale was tonight. I really, really liked the ending. To me, that's the way a finale should be. We don't want to think they all died, but the possiblity is strong and it's a proper apocalypse, not some mamby-pamby "oooh, we destroyed Sunnydale but mostly we're okay" ending. Okay, so I liked the Buffy final too, but this one left me much more satisfied. I'm a bit unhappy about what they did with Lorne, and poor old Lindsey (why would you kill someone so goddamn sexy? I mean, hello, "I want you Lindsey.") And making him leave like that was kind of off-putting, because he's so much more important than they let him be - although at least he got to sing. I liked everybody going down fighting, and the fact that Harmony betrayed Angel but he wasn't remotely upset. I LOVED seeing a kick-ass, well-adjusted, completely normal Connor who was an important part of the final fight. Illyria's dispatch of the creepy bodily fluids guy was very cool, as was pretty much everything she did. But the absolute best part of the show?
Spike's POETRY!!! Utterly and completely brilliant - Spike ends up with his fighting and his poetry, and everybody loves it. Wonderful stuff.

To watch it I had Ash, Shemane, Phoebe, Misha, Lea, T&N over. Plus Clare and her friend Jess, so it was quite a full house. We had Boggle and Dude Where's My Car earlier (the "Dude!" "Sweet!" and "Dude, they're llamas!" jokes just never get old, the "and then?" joke got old as soon as the movie came out.)

I still don't know what I think about the Angel finale, and it's been months since it aired here. I have it saved on mt TiVo so I can watch it again with a clear head and see then what I think. The thing that unsettled me was how uneven the season was as a whole, and how I almost stopped being emotionally involved with the characters, unlike on Buffy where I cried, cheered, and sobbed throughout the entire thing, and then sobbed at the realization that it was over. I don't think I'll miss Angel as a show as much as I would have had it ended after Season 3, whereas I miss Buffy all the time. But I think I am in the minority in my intense love of Season 7 of Buffy.

I did love Good!Connor (who is also Hot!Connor!Yay!) And I may have been more sad about Wesley's passing had I not read about it weeks earlier by accident.

I loved the ending too. And Spikes poetry. And Connor fighting. And Wesleys dead. I cried sooo much. *sigh*

I like these Lijah pics. He somehow looks like a vampire in the second and third *lol*

They brighten mine too, that's why I share them!

Really? I thought this season was *so* much better than any of the others except season 1, which was very good. I even sort of cared about Angel (not a lot, but a little,) and of course I loved Spike and Lorne so that helped.

I didn't like Wesley, Gunn or Angel much, but to tell you the truth I haven't cared much about Wesley in years and I've never, ever liked Angel, the whiney git.

I LOVED Season 7 Buffy. I only liked seasons 3 and 6 more. I think I'm alone in my love of season 6 though!

Spike's POETRY!!!!

I think vampiric!Lij is hot.

I've always liked Angel as a character. I thought the first season started off slow and got its groove just before Doyle died. *sob* And from there through season three I thought the show just kicked ass and took names. Season four...left me feeling used. Until Faith showed up, and then when she was gone, I was back to feeling used again. I wasn't thrilled with it at all. Except for Badass!Wes, which I am a huuuuuge fan of. Made him all sexy.

I like season six of Buffy. It's not my favorite season, but it has a lot of stuff that I loved. I mean, there is not a season of Buffy that I don't love, so...But seasons 3, 5 and 7 are definitely my favorites.
