Yea, I saw that in the paper this morning. I pretty much agreed too. The one I didn't agree with though was "Seinfeld". I liked their finale.

As far as a stand alone episode, I liked Not Fade Away. As a finale though, I didn't like it. I would have rather seen an actual ending.

As for NFA, gee, first Angel murders Drogyn, a warrior of good, and incidentally, leaves the well without a guardian. Cthulhu alone knows what horrors will emerge from the depths (hey, sounds like a apocolypse to me!). Then he allows Fred's killer to join the team because he trusts her for no apparent reason that I can see. Then he betrays Lindsey, thus turning Lorne into a cold-blooded killer, while letting Harmony go with a job recommendation after betraying him. As Angel's piece de resistance he not only throws away everyone's life away in what he himself admitted was a pointless suicide mission, he unleashes a demon army on LA. Way to go, you a$$h*l*! |

And yes, I will confess the Pacey/Joey ending was absolutely the icing on the finale cake for me, but there was a lot more to it than that. You could sort of feel the affection for the audience that the PTBs held coloring the entire finale. They managed to create a believable, loose-end tying ending that paid homage to the beginning (and indeed, the entire series) without once giving us what we needed as opposed to what we wanted. The show started with Jen getting out of that taxi and shaking things up for the entire Creek, and it ended with her death causing them all to reevaluate their lives and, yes, shaking things up. I loved Dawson turning and seeing 15-year-old Jen getting out of that taxi once more. I loved that Dawson and Joey had their childhood friendship left intact while Pacey and Joey moved on into a committed adult relationship. I loved that scene in Pacey's (PACEY'S) restaurant where they're all sitting around reminiscing. Like I said in an earlier post, after six years as a viewer (two as an appointment-tv-turn-the-phone-off viewer, much like another show I refuse to name), the DC just really resounded emotionally for me. Which is why I still watch it from time to time. I can't think of another show finale ever that had that sort of effect on me. And now I'll stop talking because last time I checked, this wasn't the "show your love for the DC finale!" thread.

The DC finale was the SHIT.
That's all I have to add.

No need to "ouch", I was just agreeing that we needed to stick to the subject at hand, that being the series finale of AtS. Yup, series Finale of AtS. That's what were here to talk about....the end of good old Angel. So, when do you plan on breaking out the Tomorrow People? I want to laugh and point at John with you. |
