Me: WHAT????????????
[livejournal.com profile] canadia_bit: Yes?
Me: Did you watch it???
Me: ???
[livejournal.com profile] canadia_bit: I did
Me: THEY ENDED IT LIKE THAT???
[livejournal.com profile] canadia_bit: I read the summary two weeks ago - I was prepared
[livejournal.com profile] canadia_bit: *hugs spoilers*
Me: Deeablo tried to prepare me. But I was unprepared. WHAT?????

[livejournal.com profile] canadia_bit: "Oh, I won't leave it with a cliffhanger. I'd never do that."
[livejournal.com profile] canadia_bit: Joss=Liar
Me: Joss is a big fat fucking liar and I think I hate him.
Me: If it weren't for the Firefly movie I'd write him a letter and tell him he's a big lying fuck!
Me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
[livejournal.com profile] canadia_bit: I liked it - the fight goes on. It's all symbolic and shit
Me: Fuck symbolism!
Me: That's a load of bullshit!
Me: What a crappy ending!
[livejournal.com profile] canadia_bit: And where's our fucking chat? Someone needs to start this. I'm slacking off doing marking to chat
Me: The Smallville people will have a better ending!
[livejournal.com profile] canadia_bit: And they killed your trial sized lawyer
Me: And their show SUCKSSSSS!
Me: I'm literally SCREAMING in pain.
Me: AAAAAAAAAAAAH!
[livejournal.com profile] canadia_bit: I'm so sorry
Me: I need a drink.


And one more for good measure. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Okay, so I liked this. I really, really did. This was good. This was the ending "Chosen" should have been over on Buffy. This was good. I don't like the fact that it just ENDED, but at the same time, that's how I would have ended it. You know Angel would go out fighting. And you KNOW Wes would die. It was, for this show, perfect. It's just that I didn't realize how invested I was in this show until it ended, you know? I'm just ... Really, now that the screaming is over (because there WAS screaming), I'm speechless.

Clark needs to stop being such a bitch, Lex needs to stop touching Lana, and that ENDING? Chloe! Gabe! With the blowing up! I was sooooo not expecting that. And naked Tom Welling? Yes, please!

Heh. I kind of love that it ended like that. I need to rewatch, though.

Okay, see, here's the thing. Now that I've been able to process this a little better, I've realized why the ending PISSED ME OFF so much. It's that it just ENDED. Just, "let's go fight!" and then a black screen. No slo-mo running towards the enemy, no fade to black, just BAM! Black screen. The FUCK??? Joss, don't give me a fucking heart attack, okay? Give me a little time to prepare that it's over! Just because HE is all "hearing about our cancellation was like a healthy man having a heart attack" (pretty much a direct quote--check EW) doesn't mean that he needs to give me the same feeling. Give me just a few seconds to know it's the end. Don't fucking force it on me like a Mack truck in the face.

Stupid Joss. I love him, but I still say he's a lying fuck, and I'm angry with him.

(Also, right now I refuse to use my "Angel: Good to the Last Drop" icon. Because the last drop was bitter! So very, very bitter!)

What cliffhanger? They're all dead in 10 minutes, dude! But what a way to go (and damn, but I liked that soooo much better than Chosen ;))

You! You shut it! Little Miss Doomsayer We're All Dead Pessimism Deathwatch!

It's a metaphor. About how the fight will always continue. So nyah.

Hee! I think I might adopt that as my new AIM name ;)

Psst - guess what? Jaime's gonna bite it too!

Well, it'd definitely work as your LJ name. ;)

And I think that we need to make a bet on Jaime status. If he lives, you have to cede him from your boyfriend status. AND buy me dinner.

If he dies, I'll be in a puddle on the floor, and you can cackle maniacally over my sobbing paroxysms of grief. AND I'll pay for the booze.

Read my response to [livejournal.com profile] georgevna. I have no problem with them ending in a fight. I wouldn't have expected it to go down any other way. I have a problem with the actual execution of the ending. Grrrrrrrrr!

In some way, it could be another stab at the WB for not giving them a larger budget.

"We would have had a kickass battle sequence here, but we ran out of money."

On a similar note, I loved how the fight with Hamilton was essentially an excuse to start destroying the set.

I'm really disappointed that they didn't get a good last moment in with the core group, like the scooby 4 had in Buffy during their last episode. Everyone was so disillusioned, angry and mad at each other you think that they were happy each other was going to die.

Did they think that they had another season to work with? Because this would have been a good season finale - as a series finale it kinda sucked.

Konczal! Hi! Wow, how are you? Dude, I haven't heard from you in forever! How's life? Where are you? What are you up to? Can you tell I get excited when random old friends show up and post in my journal? ;)

I'm positive that they knew this was it for the show, and that they weren't going to be renewed no matter what. They got the news about 2/3 of the way through the season, I believe, and so while they claim they didn't change the course of the season to tie up loose ends, it seems to me that's all a lie. There was talk of a cast member from Buffy coming over to Angel for a bit, and from what I understand that was supposed to be Willow (to get Fred back). There was also a rumor that Nina the werewolf girl was introduced because Oz would return on a guest stint for a little while, to guide her through controlling the wolf. Beats me where the hell I read that, or how true that might be, but that was out there. So while this supposedly leaves room open for TV movies or whatnot, that's about 99.99% positive it's not going to happen. So feh on the WB, and feh on Joss for giving us such a huge, yet also totally anticlimactic, ending. That is, if he intentionally did that because he was so disillusioned with the network for cancelling his show.

Thanks for being my sounding board when I was freaking out last night. You rock.
