I feel so conflicted about the Angel finale. OTOH, I really love that show, more so than Buffy, and I love the last two seasons. OTOH the sheer hopelessness of it depresses me worse than CoE. Cordy. Fred. Wesely, who survived so much, and managed to get up again and again, who worried about Angel not wanting anything from, or in, life in S1, finding himself in the exact same position in the end. Lindsey, who was probably the only one going into the final battle without at least half of a death wish, shot. Lorne, forced to kill him and hating it so much. I love it, I love even the bleakness, it's good, I'm not arguing that, but at the same time part of me just wants to force JW to give his characters a happier ending...
