This ending reminds me a lot about something Buffy told Angel in s3 (I think?) while sitting on a bench about how evil never stops coming and we still have to keep fighting it nevertheless...
now seeing it in the literal sense with this finale gives me chills
Angel season 5 just dropped the single best finale ive seen, I was crying, laughing, sometimes stunned… I dont know what to feel right now. They took my Wesley away from me too 💔
This is genuinely blowing my brains, WHAT DO THEY DO NOW????
@ohMyG00och I'd say it's on part with the scoobies too, if not better.
Yes the Angel investigation family gets dysfunctional at times but they handle it well, all together. It might be recency bias but yeah I love them more
Another thing I'll just leave it out before I forget, I found all of Andrew's guest appearance in this season really annoying, he just pmo a lot of times. Didn't even feel this sickened by someone returning all 'changed' for Riley too.
Just wish they'd pick anyone else
@AlisonNolan9 yeah right I'm glad they left Spike's resurrection a mystery for Buffy, Spike himself explains it well, he does the heroic act for saving the world, and then just reappears in her life again... it just lowers the weight of his sacrifice
@SuperPurple_uwu and don't even get me started with making Lorne kill Lindsey, that is just such mistreatment of him. He could have achieved this by sending Illyria with Lindsey bc she's unpredictable.
I'm sort of disappointed with how the whole Lindsey/Eve arc was played out, had potential
@SuperPurple_uwu yeah I too have mixed feelings regarding Lindsey's death here, Angel was def skeptical about him entering the team and possibly betraying when the right opportunity came.
Like by this point Lindsey was a grey character who was changing, already learnt his lesson from the SPs
This is the greatest spin off series I will have ever watched, I can't believe the buffyverse experience all ends here
But genuinley, what happens from here onwards? They die fighting? Would be fitting for Angel's storyline

So Spike really had his big hero moment in the sunnydale apocalypse, only to be brought back and supposedly perishing yet again? 😭 Bollocks
well at least he didn't have an amulet or anything with him as he promised, and went down fighting, just like he once told Buffy
In my headcanon, Spike secretly brought the Mutari generator device to give Illyria back her powers and then she wipes the entire horde the Senior Partners sent after them.... and they keep fighting (:
