Angel

From coriander817: What did you think of the Angel series finale?

I was disappointed, to be honest; I thought it was a pile o’ steaming dung. I know Joss had his beef with Sarah Michelle Gellar wanting to be on the finale, but I sorta wish he had let her—it would have added some much-needed oomph. Did anyone like it?

From Jason_15: Regarding the last Angel episode: What in the blue hell was that? No battle for the ages, no earth-shattering events, no cool cameos—tell me this is not over or I’m gonna die. I need closure! What do you know about the movie-of-the-week deal? Give me something!

I wish I had something to give. I can only tell you that I saw it coming when Joss told us they did the best they could under the time and budget constraints. Usually he’s confident, but he didn’t seem so this time around. But don’t blame Joss—blame the dubba dumba you be.

From goduke1111: What did you think of the Angel finale—other than its obvious greatness?

Yay! Nice to hear somebody liked it. I suppose my expectations were simply too high. (Pssst...Joss, is that you?)

From spikepoet: Why were you disappointed with the Angel finale? Was it the harsh ending or something else? I personally went a bit catatonic, but I still thought it rocked.

Okay, good, I feel better. Honestly, peeps, I watched it at 6 a.m. this morning after having spent eight hours waiting around at JFK Airport and then taking the red-eye cross-country, so I might not have been in the best state of mind. I’ll give it another shot.

From beebee: Thank you for asking Jordan Levin what we’ve all wanted to know: "What were you smoking when you canceled Angel?" Did he say anything else?

Actually—and it’s awfully mean of me to tell you this—he actually answered the question twice. He was clearly nervous about answering and sort of sputtered out, asking if we could start over. (Maybe he realized he’d made a mistake?) I sort of started feeling sorry for him, until I remembered that he had booted Angel for Drew Carey and Jeff Foxworthy.

From Amy_Wallace: Holy crap! The WB pulled out all the stops for their finales: Angel’s Wesley died, plus they left us with a major cliffhanger; on Everwood, Ephram got Madison preggers; on One Tree Hill, Nathan married Haley (plus Dan’s heart attack!); and on Gilmore Girls, Luke and Lorelai hooked up—and Dean and Rory did the deed! When can we expect spoilers for the fall season?

I milked everyone at the WB for info, but sadly, it seems that nothing has been decided for the fall season. One thing you should note, however—the actress who plays Madison (Sarah Lancaster) has been cast in the new Rob Lowe show. I begged her to stay put to no avail. But on the upside, the Lowe show looks wretched, and she could be back in no time. Love that girl.
