The ending to Angel sucked. Period. (I know I'm a little late posting, but I had to have somewhere to vent.)

I did not like the way they ended this series. I did not find the Illyria/Wes scene touching becuase it was not Fred. Illyria to me did not evolve enough to have those feelings yet, and who knows if Fred really loved West like he wanted. And the whole Angel not with Buffy or did not find redemption, is another story!

SPOILER COMMENTS: It didn't have the big "bang" I might've wanted, but it went out with a message consistent with the show: No matter the odds or the outcome, always fight the good fight. It was very "Butch and Sundance" if you think about it. I really loved the Illyria/Wes/Fred death scene. Remarkably touching and sweet. It also served to flesh out (as it were) Illyria's character. The Lindsay/Lorne scene was perfect film noir. Death by betrayal; an honorable man does a horrible thing; one man forever changed and made unhappy. (Which is a recurring Joss theme, BTW.) Loads of great one-liners, too. "Can I deny you three times?" "Well, personally I want to slay the dragon." Maybe not perfect or even rousing, but I'm satisfied.
