didn't feel that Faith was getting a happy-end. Oh no. But I never saw it as a dead-end either. New beginning, with all that implies - new chances, new opportunities, new risks.
She's still travelling it here, it's a complex, tortuous journey. We are shown her next steps on it - and I believe we'll see her progress by the end of this arc. I just feel that she's on a loop. (Much like Buffy in 'Three Deep'.)
No, the war wasn't a formality: yes, Fred was gone but they still had to deal with Illyria threat which was much more important issue then, frankly. 'Save the cheerleader. Save the world.' Except Spike and Angel had to let the cheerleader die to save the world. And then fight what she turned into... which leads me to:
He did that to prevent the end of the world, and he was ready to kill the one guilty of ushering it. Oh yes. But my point is, he'd already lost any reward. Faith, however much she might be 'saving the world', is also at the same time buying herself a ticket out of her crappy life. Her motives can never be 'pure' - just like, when Buffy went after Faith to cure Angel, there was also a whole bunch of issues between them. That fight was never just about healing Angel.

And that is my problem.
