first off, thanks for the all the reviews, i always looked forward to your perspective on the shows...

as for the finale...i too was very happy with the way they wrapped things up, while still leaving room for interpretation. i was actually more satisfied with this ending than with buffy because oddly enough, in my mind, it felt more optimistic than buffy.

there was a certain sadness when buffy and the scoobs were standing over the hole in the ground that used to be sunnydale. it was if all of their hopes and dreams were swallowed up and they were staring at a very uncertain future. conversely, even though angel, spike, ilyria and gunn were facing what appeared to be insurmountable odds, i felt like they were going to live on to fight another day.

as for the individual story lines, they were all handled well enough to feel complete. and most importantly, everyone played a significant part in the end which i appreciated. angel always seemed to be more of a group effort whereas buffy was clearly the dominant player with a very helpful supporting cast.

wesley's death was undoubtably the hardest part of the show, followed by lorne's agonizingly difficult task of killing lindsay. the wesley/ilyria death scene was fine, although i would liked for angel to have been there for him considering all they had been through...

to sum it up, i couldn't have said it better than your assesment "it fulfilled all that was good about the show to such a degree that it raised my opinion of the whole thing" - so i'll just leave it at that...

I'll really miss doing this, in equal parts because of the writing and the feedback from everyone. Joss needs to do another show.
