Saturday 15 May 2004, by Bana : Wow.. so well-written, except the Connor/Cordelia part. I thought it was brilliant when we saw Cordelia evil. (I mean, if you hadn’t read spoilers!) Also, bringing Connor brought these incredibly touching emotions, because nobody had ever seen their own flesh and blood hate them that much. I agree with the other parts, though. I almost cried where he talked about "A Hole in The World." Saturday 15 May 2004, by JohnnyB : articles like this make me feel a lot better about the end of angel. Kudos to the author :)Sunday 16 May 2004, by dela : oh my gosh - AtS would never have ended with Angel human and getting back together with Buffy. I mean, not unless Joss Whedon died and forgot to put it in his will that this should never happen to his characters. You know, just in case anyone couldn’t already tell that Buffy was saying goodbye to Angel (and Spike, for that matter) at the end of her series, and Angel was on his way to having an adult relationship as well at the end of his (and not with Buffy). Joss characters ultimately go forward, not back to High School crushes. The women don’t go back to controlling daddy-figures they worshipped more than loved, and men don’t go back to the need to be so controlling and adored. It would just ruin both shows, the messages of both shows, for Buffy & Angel to get back together. Hokey, wrong, wrong, wrong - and most definitely would not have happened in a million years Sunday 16 May 2004, by Wolverine68 : I to am glad to see Angel go out on top. I would prefer it going another year, but at least it doesn’t go past it’s prime like Buffy did. Be honest now, did Buffy really have any stories that NEEDED to be told after season 5? No, she had over come every obsticle. She had faced the basic vampires, and legendary vampires (from The Master to Dracula), she faced off against a giant worm, a frankenstein like robot compilation of many types of demons, had to deal with lossing her mom, and sending her own boyfriend to hell for the sake of the world. On top of all that, she had one final test ahead of her; that was the face a GOD and win. She faced this challenge head on, and gave her life to win. That was the, most defining moment, and nothing else could top that. Sure, there were great moments, and the fans were glad for 2 more years. But it didn’t need to continue, it had gone everywhere it needed to. Buffy was alot like a video game, where you fight through legions of enemies. Each season is like a level, the monster get tougher, and the bosses more challenging. Again, what challenge was greater then a god? It is also important to note, that chossing to continue Buffy has screwed Angel. The only reason UPN did not pick up Angel after The WB cancillation, is because Buffy was not that profitable. Had they not known that lose, we would have Angel season 6. But on top of that, no gripping, Am glad the show never had the chance to go under. It over came it’s 4th season drop in plot & ratings, and pushed one of their greatests seasons. I shutter to think of watching Angel season 6, if it were to be like Buffy’s. (Well done Mutant Enemy.) Sunday 16 May 2004, by Slayer : "goes out on top"? Please, this has been a painfully terrible season! Angel’s high point remains season 2’s "Dear Boy" - and Darla MADE that episode so good, nothing else. I mean, how many times exactly do they have to do the whole "Is he Angel or Angelus?" thing? It’s pathetic....I’m glad this show has been cancelled, and really hope that NBC don’t pick it up for a sixth season. That rumour sounds like a crock of bull anyway. Monday 17 May 2004, by Anonymous : Here’s what really gets my goat. The WB was going to push for an updated "Dark Shadows" series. Now, they’re not even going to do it. Not even in the fall lineup. Kick out a show for crappy reality TV (which will soon die a thousand deaths, mark my words) and not even follow through. I MIGHT watch ’Smallville’ next season, but like I said before: A one-two punch isn’t a one-two punch without the two.Monday 17 May 2004, by Anonymous : its true that upn didnt pick up Angel because of the lost profits from Buffy - but if Buffy hadn’t reached past Season 5, how far would Angel have gotten?Monday 17 May 2004, by Anonymous : I have to disagree with ’Slayer’ here, thi sseason was the best so far. Great acting, superb storyline, and a willingness to do the hard things to characters. "Painfully terrible" is way off-base. Still, that is just my opinion. Then again, "Citizen Kane" was treated like a crap-fest in 1940. Now it’s considered one of the best film ever. Sometimes opinions are opinions, and sometimes opinions are wrong.Monday 17 May 2004, by Lostsoul : Its been a great 5 yrs with Angel. We have watched throught it all but some how knowing that the end will never come makes me feel a little better for we spend our lives on one path trying to reach a goal. Then some how we get distracted and there is a new goal. Let us remember Angel as we should, a vampire, a hero, and a man who carries burdens that we could not. Let us just be thankful that Mr Whedon share his dreams with us for 5yrs of Angel and 7 years of Buffy.Tuesday 18 May 2004, by brenna : It is such a shame. Season 6 was the best BtVS season; I’m guessing it might have been the best AtS Season as well. One more Season at least, and AtS truly would have gone out on top - and with a cherry on top.
