Because I love Angel far too much, and am an incorrigible optimist....
You might have worked out that I am looking forward to 'Angel: After the Fall'... what you didn't know is that I (and a few kind souls that I talked into joining me in my madness), decided to set up a community dedicated to all things AtS S6: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
angel6_atf. Basically I'm hoping that it can be the one-stop place for all things relating to the new comics. But for that to happen we need people to join, and then share everything they find/create!
Oh and you could of course also pimp! Pretty please?
(I promise that now I will concentrate on part two of 'AYW + One' - when I get some spare time that is...)

Also, I'm over-all a little disappointed in Buffy: Season8. I liked a lot of things about it, but I like my person vision of the post-chosen story (not to mention everything I've read in the many wonderful fan-fiction stories I've devoured over the years) much more than "Buffy, et al live in a remote castle, cut off from the real world".
I kinda don't want to spoil Angel, Spike, Ilyria, and Gunn that way. Though if Gunn get vamped I may be swayed... It's a puzzlement!

Oh I love NFA too. Impossibly much. The thing is that in my world no comic book could *ever* be canon.

I'd have to use far stronger language than that to express myself on S8...

Amen, many times over! But - it's Brian Lynch writing S6 (even if Joss is giving him lots of imput... *worries*), and I have *adored* his stories so far. Also Urru will be doing the art, it it'll be PRETTY! All I wanted from S8 was a great story. So far it hasn't shown up. But I refuse to be a pessimist re S6. I mean it can't possibly be worse than S8! *g* (Also the point of Chosen was that Buffy could do *anything*, which is why tying her down again makes me sad. The point of NFA was that the fight never stops. I'll happily read a story about more fighting!)

Come on, like that's stopped anyone before. They just need to "forget" that and make up some story about how... um... let's say Eve... was actually hiding outside and teleported Wes away at the last second, and...
...what, me bitter?
I'm with you on the wariness re: s6. The end of NFA is such a strong statement, it's going to be *very* hard to come up with a wannabe canon to continue that...
no subject
At least Joss is unlikely to forget that Wesley actually *died*!
I'm with you on the wariness re: s6.
My optimism comes from two places: 1) The show was *cancelled* and there was supposed to be a season 6! [*hates Fox*] and 2) Lynch is a total fanboy and will hopefully respect the characters we love. Both of which should - if all goes well - add up to a story that's as good as the fic out there. And I adore post-NFA fic.

That's exactly what I said about Warren.
The show was *cancelled* and there was supposed to be a season 6!
True, but the last 5 episodes were written *after* they knew they were getting cancelled and that there wouldn't be a s6. NFA was intended as a final statement.

Ah - but the ending was decided from very early on. They had to wrap things up v. swiftly, but NFA would not have been significantly different (except for Wesley staying alive) - and as it happened it also turned out to be the perfect ending:
FURY: The really cool thing about Season 6, we knew how Season 5 was going to end very early on and we knew what it was going to launch into with Season 6, which was a post-apocalyptic show [and] which I thought was going to be great. It was going to be Angel in The Road Warrior, which I thought would be awesome. In the ruined city of LA or out in the desert or something, it was just going to be kind of a really cool, different, show.
[...]
JOZIC: I thought the ending was brilliant, although I know a few people who didn't care for the lack of a tidy resolution. What are your thoughts on the finale?
FURY: Again, we had planned this very early on. The basic idea was to discover who the architects of the apocalypse were and then were going to do this Godfather-like massacre where all of our characters were going to go killing each of them, and the last beat of the episode would be Angel and whoever was left of his crew about to launch into the apocalypse. You know, "Let's go, let's move…whatever."
My thought on that is, that's the perfect way to end the show. The point of Buffy was always girl power and showing that power. The point of Angel was always that the fight never ends. He'll always fight. It's an eternity of fighting. You can't ever win but the fight is worth fighting. That was a perfect 'going out' scene - you know, the Butch Cassidy/Sundance Kid sort of we're going up against impossible odds and probably die? That's the perfect way to end the series, and anybody who says otherwise is dumb.
Huge long-ass interview here!
