i have to say i love this epsiode..angel and his team go up against wolfarm and hart who is ranned by all this demons called the order of the black throne.
angel gives spike,lorne,wesley,gun,illyria,and even harmoney a mission to do and complete.
angel took out some demon in this cool way(watch youll see what i mean)and told harmoney his plan just to get her to get the super vampire to come to angel.once harmoney did that not knowing angel knew she would betray him.harmoney left the building and angel tried to kill the other vampire(whos name ive done forgot).angel tried his best to fight the other vampire but angel was getting wiped with the floor.connor then should up to help his dad which was nice.angel then drunk blood from the other vampire b/c the vampire said he as the strength of all the members of the black throne or whatever.so when angel drunk his blood angel then had his stregth too.angel killed the vampire and angel told connor to go home to be safe.
spike took out the men that took the baby from the lady.
lorne killed lindsey after lindsey kills this demons for angel.lorne then leaves to have a better life.
illyria killed this demons but you dont get to see it.i wish we would have seen it.she then goes to check on wesley.
wesley tries to kill some wizard but fails and illyria kills the wizard..
when illyria was crying over wesley dead body and wesley ask illyria to lie to him b/c it was his last moment.illyria turned into fred which was very sad.u could tell the love illyria had for wesley.
gun killed this lady who was running for mayor or something.gun killd her and her group of vampires.
by the end angel,spike,gun,and illyria was standing at the end ready to fight the last couple of demons that was left..
alot of fans said that you dont know if they survied.i can tell for me its common sense.if this guys can survive what just happen i think they can survived this too.i think the ending was suppose to be like this are the ones that are tough enough to survived and get through the battle.i like the finale...
btw illyria was so sweet in the end when she was mouring over wesley.i love that finale scene when she meet up with rest of the guys and she says''i think im feeling grief over wesley i cant control it.i wish to do more voilence''that line ws so funny but at the same time sad..
this epsiode was very good but i did have this thing where i keep wishing cordelia should have been there.so since she wasnt there i didnt give this a 10.even tho her character was sent off peacefully.
Not Fade Away was a perfect series finale of Angel, though it leaves some questions unanswered. I enjoyed watching this episode from start to finish because there was drama, action, humor, and exploration into the darker side of some characters. I thought it was great to see how each of the characters spent their last day before the plan goes into effect. It was cool to watch how each of the characters fought their targets. The scene between Wesley and Illyria was touching and perhaps she has truly felt human emotion for the first time. I thought the ending was ok, but wish we could have seen more of that last battle, or maybe the series continuing to another season! I suppose the ending more or less left me satisfied enough, though hungry for more!!!!!!!
This episode didn't give me everything I really wanted, the perfect ending I would have liked to have with the show I've been so into, but it did have a pretty good sense of closure.
I was okay with everything except for a couple things. I get that they were probably necessary for the story, but they still made me sad.
First, Angel signing away the Shanshu prophecy. That had been his driving force for three years. The way that he could so easily give it up annoyed me a bit. I know it was for the biggest cause ever, but still.
Wesley dying. I definitely could have done without that. Wesley was probably my favorite character overall on Angel. He had gone through the most changes as a person and to just have it end like that made me extremely sad. I did like that Illyria showed so much emotion over it though. That almost made up for it.
And Lorne shooting Lindsey. It was a very powerful moment, and I loved Lindsey's reaction to being killed by a 'lackey' and not the big guy himself. It kind of rounded out the intense relationship he and Angel had had since the very first episode. The part I didn't like was the effect it had on Lorne. He had started out as such a good carefree person way at the beginning of season two, and then he became more a shell of a being in this final ep. It just makes me feel terrible for the sweet green guy.
Other than those few things, I loved this episode. Always makes me feel good to watch it.
Another amazing series ends. hide show
Well, the ending finally came. I am very sad about the fact that the show had to conclude after season five even though it still had a lot of times left to be told. However, that doesn't remove the fact that the series finale was absolutely amazing.
It all ties up nicely, and for me personally it makes up for the fact that the season started out uneven. I loved every fight in this episode, I loved how almost all loose ends ended up and I even made my peace with the show ending like it id. I think that it just wouldn't be right if it would end with the gang winning and going on with their lives - this is just not that type of a show.
As for Wesley's death - it was heartbreaking. I couldn't believe it, yet I think I saw it coming when he told Illyria that he has nothing left on this world to look forward to. The scene with Illyria crying as she "lies" to Wesley was just amazing. I loved Illyria's scenes and her amazing adaption to Angel's team.
I loved how Angel managed to beat Hamilton, and how Connor was around to help out his father. I even think Lindsay and Eve got what they deserved - and what a way for Lorne to exit the show, huh? Pretty much the entire episode was amazing and I can only imagine what would have happened next, with the gang going into the fight...
I loved this show... it was my favouirte show of all time. To give its last episode (which is nothing short of brilliant up untill the end) a low mark like this is actually painful. Unfortunately, a low mark it recieves.
Not long after this episode aired, a Producer made a comment against fans, calling them idiots for not thinking that the ending was a fitting ending. Well I'm hitting back. Screw you. It WASN'T a fitting ending, for me as a fan, for the charactors we had all loved and invested in for 5 years (and some longer on Buffy), for a superb show. For five years, it all centered around Angel fighting an aplocaliptic battle to win back his mortality. This was never answered. Wolfram and Hart was not destroyed. We don't even know if Gunn, Illaria, Spike or Angel survive (unfortunately I'm not into comics, and if the Angel team insist on telling the story afterwards then dosen't this just prove that this ending was too much an open one?). Don't get me wrong... I wasn't expecting such a dark show to have a happy ending. But to leave us in the lurge, not having a clue what happened to Angel and co is wrong. Ridiculous. It failed to complete what was otherwise one amazing show from start to almost finish. A huge shame, because the rest of this episode is Angel at its best. Wesley's death scene stands out for me; Illaria assuming the form of Fred when its obvious that her tears are real and not faked for him. And the way she despatches Syrus Viel is very cool too. Angel of course needed a deaf match (he spent wayy to much time getting his ass kicked in his last season) and the one with Hamilton was very good. Wolfram and Hart cannot be destroyed but Angel and co. proved they wern't owned by them. If there was one thing I didn't like about this episode (apart from the ending) it was what Lorne did to Lindsay. Entirley out of nowhere and out of charactor. A fitting end for Lindsey but it would have been better if Wes had pulled the trigger, or Gunn. Anyways, I loved Angel and I miss it. It beggers belief how a show as good as this got axed considering the horros that have survived for years on TV.
