My Thoughts on Not Fade Away
The End of an End
- Quotes to Love
- VAIL: Sebassis! Your manservant has become tangled in my bodily fluids again!
- ILLY: I'll make trophies of their spines.
- ANGEL: I want you, Lindsey. (beat) I'm thinking about rephrasing that.
LINDSEY: Yeah, I think I'd be more comfortable if you did.
- Angel: No... but I have very nice handwriting.
CONNOR: You girl.
- ILLY: I wish to do more violence.
- GUY: You're funeral.
SPIKE: Well, I never had a proper one.
- ANGEL: One of you will betray me. (Spike raises his hand)
- You haven't heard a word I've said... for like years back.
While Lindsey looked uber-cool when he knocked to door in, his end was a little less heroic.
- It was horrible to make Lorne shoot Lindsey (for Lorne's sake). It really made Lorne a darker character, I felt bad for him.
- The Gun mottif in the Jossverse has be reserved for the bad guys. It sad alot that it was in the hands of a White Hat.
- Being shot by a "flunky" was very undermining to everything Lindsey has done. I felt bad for him. I think he was a little too not-evil for Angel to kill.
- Could Lindsey have changed his way? We'll never know.
- Yeah, they're mixed in there with the new ones. Kind of like, uh... a bad dream I had, I guess, a very strange and violent, at times, inappropriately erotic...dream.
- Most people hated Crazy-Connor, but who doesn't adore Normal-Connor? He's funny, sweet, and loyal. His story was very well resolved. Home was a pretty good wrap up, but no good for Angel. A happy Connor makes everyone happy. (Love the "inappropriately erotic", I think they may have relized their mistake).
- How did Connor punch Hamilton all the way across the room when Sngel couldn't?
- The Wanton Folly of Me Mum.
- I love a good nod back to Buffy. The Cecily poem was ace. I was all proud of him when everyone clapped :) My friend who doesn't watch Buffy thought it was funny anyway because he looked so drunk.
- First off, I'm not wearing any amulets. No bracelets, broaches, beads, pendants, pins, or rings. Did anyone not die when the heard this?
- I was hoping it'd be vamps. I haven't dusted nearly enough this year.
- Gunn has come full circle and is all the better for it. From Street Tough to Annoying Layer to Cool Guy again. His casual clothes say it all. Gunns back and he rocks. I was hoping it'd be vamps, too. He hasn't dusked nearly enough this year.
- I liked seeing the girl from the shelter. It says alot that he spent his "last day" on the streets.
- It's not an act. I really am this nervous.
- Harmony should never have been evil. I supposed it helped the plot a bit, but I just hate seeing her evil. She is supposed t try hard to do the right thing. I don't know, I was just kinda sad about it.
- And yet, you still managed to fail everyone around you. Doyle. Cordelia. Fred.
- Oh no he didn't!!! Hammy did not just drag those three into this! He shouldn't even be alone to think those names! (Stepping aside, I really have to get over this.)
- Try not to die, you are not unpleasant to my eyes.
- Illyria is coming to terms with her human emotions. This makes her all the more likeable.
- Illy looked so cool in the car headlights. The head cock sends this rush of pride and excitement through your body.
- Illy has a low voice...but, anyway...
- And since I don't actually intend to die tonight...
Assuming you didn't see it coming before (like me) this linw was a total give away that it would be Wes who kicked it. Not to mention the extra long stare between him and Angel. And for some reason I was still surprised when his died. (Just like Anya didn't think she would die)
- It was totally right for Illy to turn into Fred for this scene. It wouldn't have been as sad if there wasn't so much emotion flowing.
- He's come so far: See Character Grievers Anonymous
- ILLY: You're dying.
WES: I know.
He said it with such surprise in his voice I had to laugh through my tears.
- The morph from Fred into Illyria was so spot on I think I made this weird noise while I watched it.
- If we make it through this, does one of us get to be a real boy?
- Angel signed away his Shanshu: no ifs, ands, buts, of maybes: he did.
- Spike? Spike could totally Shanshu. (If he really wants to.) Keep in mind that Spike seems to like Vampirism. Human maybe only to be with Buffy, but she would be much to old by the time he Shanshus. SPIKE: Well as long as it's not you.
- Humanity's so over rated anyway.
- Who you kidding? We're not gonna make it through.
- THE SURVIVORS: Angel, Spike, Gunn, Illyria, Lorne, Harmony, Eve.
- Eve may or may not have gotten out of W&H. It's anyone's guess.
- Gunn had a mortal wound and their is a good chance that he could not survive such a battle.
- Angel, Spike, Illy: Everyone seems to have concluded that they all die. Well, I, for one, remain optimistic. Here's why:
- Spike has to Shanshu
- Super powers aside, they are the three with the best odds in a fight.
- There was supposed to be a season 6 (a post-apocalyptic one, I read in a magizine). Therefore they must have been intended to live.
- They want a tv movie. There fore they must have lived.
- He's Angel. My God, haven't you even watched the show? Of course they wll live!
- The End
- My raging anger about the ending far over powers the sadness I had- like totally. When Joss' name pops up and you relized what they've done to you, you're body sort of pounds agains your skin like a large blunt object. I believe my exact words were, "OMG, I HATE you!!!" Out of my mouth, just like that. Of course I don't mean it, but boy was I mad. I couldn't even be spoken too.
It's over. Whoa. This is one of the saddest eps (eps the first time you watch it), but one of the funniest (the second time). Watch it again with an open mind. We promis to NOT FADE AWAY
