I like that firefly pic there, chief. It's right purty. But I'm not the one speaking out against the use of "copyrighted" material; I have no problem with it, infact The stage photo was taken by a fan so no worries there. The American Outlaws pics you might have a case for. However, I'm making no profit with the pics, nor robbing anyone of profits with them. Pictures don't seem to be such a big deal. Doesn't matter. Look at any terms-of-use agreements on a website, the WWE's for example, http://www.wwe.com/help/terms/, you can only use it for "personal use", and when you post it on the internet, thats no longer personal. This covers both commercial and non-commercial use. Video footage, television broadcast footage, film clips, song clips, etc. That seems to be where the crackdown is taking place. If there was a crackdown on pictures being used in a non-profit way, I'd not have them up. And, hopefully, neither would you. But the "reasoning" used here -and by you, for that matter- is that its board law that you can't use "copyrighted material". But you are only using that to cover part of the material used, while the majority ie: pictures, are still freely used. Its being used as a convenience. You live by the sword and you die by the sword, is what I say.

If it is necessary for one thing, why is it not necessary for another? In otherwords, If I don't see every single copyrighted picture on this board and/or its user gone (including myself) within the next week -or as long as those media posts are removed- then you're just as bad as those that you "incriminate" (for lack of a better term).

Looks like you are using some copyrighted images yourself, SP. Infact, your breaking the rules more than anyone else here as you manipulated the original photo which tends to be implicitly described as an act you cannot do. Unless, you took those pictures of the WWE stage and from American Outlaws yourself.

You guys might want to recheck your decision here because using "you can't publish copyrighted materials on the site" sets a bad precident. Pictures from websites can be copyrighted. Infact, many pictures in this thread are. Sorry Malibu, but you can't use your Zack Morris avatar because its copyrighted by TBS and they say you can't use it - ditto with your OC pics (CR by Fox). And forget about posting any pictures from WWE.com, they're copyrighted too. And how about the "World Wrestling Entertainment" folder? WWE is a copyrighted name, I believe, so using it could be illegal. Nasty Precident.

Yeah, I was wondering "Why the fuck are they in a fucking alley for the final fight?" and then I was like... "oooooooooooooh"

OR Angel pissed the SP off so bad that they (WR&H) said "fuck all the plans, lets just kill'em all now" and THAT is what Angels role in the Apocalyse was; starting it.

I had a surprising amount of closure after "Not Fade Away"; and I am a HUUUUUUUGE mark for happy endings, so it's kinda odd. Maybe it was because the episode was so darn good and satisfying, or because the fact that this universe will 'live on' (I don't mean in movies or anything like that, I just mean in how they ended it so openly); that -unlike Buffy where there was "the end"- it doesn't end for these characters I love - they don't die... cept Wes... but he got the closure he needed and I loved the shit out of that. Right now, my last memory is of them fighting. And to that I say, FIGHT ON, MOTHERFUCKERS!! *Edited for that last "motherfucker"*

Angel signing away the Shanshu prophecy showed what I said above - fuck fate. This entire time Angel has been a slave to others, even when he had a position of power, be it the Powers or WR&H or even the Shanshu Prophecy itself. Fuck it. And regarding the spoilers question, it wasn't long after the original spoilers leaked that there was clearification that Gunn still was alive at the end - which lessened the HOLY CRAP THEY'RE KILLING EM ALL OFF vibe, but I was still happy to see him there at the end. Angel Season Death Toll: 4 (Cordy, Fred, Lindsay, Wes). Are you sure Minear isn't involved with them any more ??

Hamilton is a stone cold pimp baby! Angel: People who don't care about anything will never understand people who do..." Hamilton: "Yeah...but we won't care." Hell pretty much every line between Angel and Hamilton was great...and of course the fight pwned~! *Big Pop!!* That was a fucking FANTASTIC line! I love reading everyones replies here. I'm fucking marking out just reading this shit.

It's simple. They said "Fuck Fate. We're going to show that we are still in control of our destiny. No more manipulation, no more prophecy, no more secrets, no more jerking around. If that means we die, so be it. But we will go down the way we want to go down." Joss said that he wanted everyone to feel how he felt when the show was cancelled, I think he summed it up nicely.

They could do a full movie on Wes trying to find Fred in heaven... or "another plane where lost spirits go". They could call it "What Dreams may Come of me"

&)(&)(*&%$#(*$#&^%&&!!! *curses in made up language*

I'd rank Wes/Fred higher than Buffy/Angel, but that's mainly because I've invested more into Wes/Fred, and I loooooooved that payoff (both of them, actually - Hole in the World included).

The thing with Lindsay was, well, he was a flunky too, but never saw himself as one.

You're right. It is fitting. Buffy News & Radio is important to us all.

"I want you Lindsay" NUFF SAID!!!!!!!!!!

It is kind of sad when you think about it. Knowing that Fred and Wes will NEVER be together again. But, that's how things work in the Whedonverse with relationships. NO! They *are* together! *Closes eyes* *refuses to read*

No fucking shit. I thought he was poetrying on about him saving the world for Buffy in the Buffy Finale. Which is another thing. No amulet, no bracelet, no broach, no rings, no necklaces... *BIG POP*!

Gunn busting out the DOUBLE STAKES was fucking HOT. I marked like a bitch for that. A BITCH. I marked like one. It was crazy.

Take your technicalities OUTTA HERE~! Dames, are you saying that the poetry he read was actually said before?

Oh maaaaaaan I read the spoilers but this is the kind of episode that fucking goes waaaaaaaaaaaay beyond that shit! God DAMN that was what I call television! Right there, RIGHT THERE is the best Angel of all time, and fuck it, it's the best motherfucking Buffyverse episode of all time, and I'll come over to your house with a motherfucking sword and "work"! if you don't agree!!! One last time baby! 1! That final moment fucking owned everything. "Let's work" (or "lets get to work" or whatever~!) is so my new fucking thing to say whenever anything happens. I was so fucking pumped after that, I think it was the perfect ending. I was jumping around my house kicking shit and yelling "YES YES YES YES YES!" What am I saying yes to? I DON'T KNOW! If the question is "Did you fucking love every (EVERY) second of that episode" then there's your fucking motherfucking answer motherfucker! 2! Wesleys death. Tears in my eyes. I was watering up. I watered up when I first read the description, and I was on the verge of crying like a little girl. God DAMN, I was worried that they wouldn't give it enough time with time left in the show, but it was perfect. You'll hear me say that word a lot in this... perfect... that is. I just loved the fact that he wanted the lie and that Illyria was crying for him. Jesus Christ, that was beautiful. BEAUTIFUL. How in gods name can people create such things, how can they make me feel this way? I love it. I feel all warm inside. It's a fabulous feeling. Fred saying "we'll finally be together" fucking did me in. God damn that's manipulative writing and I... LOVE... IT. 3! Fuck it. I'm pimpin it. HAMILTON IS A PLAYER! Jesus God Damn that was a fine addition to the show. His deadpan delivery and the subdued cockiness - oooooh I'm all about that shit. GREAT fight scene! "Now, tell me the one word you shouldn't have said there" - BLOOD MOTHERFUCKER! YOU SAID BLOOD! YOU GOT KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT~!!!!!! 4! The comedy. THE COMEDY! This had EVERYTHING in it - it made me tear up, it made me get right the fuck into it, and it had be LAFFING hysterically. Two things in particular: - Spike at the Poetry Battle. Spike raising his hand. Spike saying "at least it's not you" - Harmony asking for a reference and Angel having it on the table. 5! Lorne shooting Lindsay. That was COLD BLOODED. Man, they just made Lorne one of the darkest characters in that one moment. "He's not coming for you. Go." "Where would I go?" That's a sad moment that'll probably get lost in the shuffle. Very nice stuff. But MAN was that cold blooded. The silencer was a nice touch. "I was killed by a flunky". 6! When I first read how they were going to kill Sybassis, I loved it. When I saw it, I loved it. A nice twist, a very nice twist. 7! GUNN! Capping off his ALL STAR season proper~! First with Annie and her perfect response, then by fucking NAILING the senator in the head with a hatchet, and then -finally- making those 10 minutes count!! ALL STAR PLAYER!!!!! 8! Harmony in a bra. DAMN! Have I mentioned how happy I am she was included in this season?! 9! Illyrias head tilt when the lights came on - it was exactly how I envisioned it. I would have liked to have seen her wreck house, but I guess I'll settle her MORPHING FROM FRED AND PUNCHING CYRUS' HEAD OFF! JEEEEEEEEESUS!!!!!!!! 10! Great resolutions here, IMO. Angel signing the Shan Shu, Connor FINALLY being grateful for all his father has done (great save there too!), Wes and Fred "being together forever"... all it was missing was LILAH~, and I can easily forgive them for that, because this episode was flawless. 10 Spot OUT~!

YES YES YES YEYS defadlzgj sagjmkl YEYS YE Yhokljsafd gkljfdl;gjkfd;gmfdsa./ !!!!!!!!!! sAY IT WITH ME NOW~! BEST EPISODE EVER!

I'm going to miss the "Previously, on Angel"; I'm going to miss the letter box; I'm going to miss Goofy Angel - the one that sings mandy, the one that still has his penis and wants the world to know, the one that turned into a puppet; I'm going to miss how the show laughed at itself in a way that other shows are afraid or are 'too cool' to do; I'm going to miss Spike, cause this time he really is going away; I'm going to miss all the cast, but Wes in particular - these last few years have been very kind to the actor and I forgive him for marrying that abomination that is Ally Hannigan; I'm going to miss Lilah, even though she was already gone by season 5, and more importantly, I'm going to miss saying "the foxy" and all its incarnations ("20th Century Fox" and "Digitally Remastered in Foxtravision" being my personal favourites); I'm going to miss the gimmick episodes, because no other show does them; I'm going to miss the theme which rocked from day 1; I'm going to miss the nobility and spirit that the show had which I think tended to be stronger than Buffys; I'm going to miss Nipples and Harmony and how they turned me on in different ways - nipples with her Nipples and Harmony dancing in the halloween episode; I'm going to miss Lindsay, cause he was such a pecker and it was so fun to see him back; and I'm going to miss yelling at the TV screen and jumping up and down after a really killer episode - I don't do that for many shows, and I will really miss it. And finally, I'm going to miss geeking out with you guys and arguing over such nerdy things and making myself laugh hysterically by writing various stupid things.

Alright. It's a little over 2 hours till the FINAL ANGEL EPISODE EVER (!!!), so what are you going to miss????????

PLEASE. SOMEONE. ANYONE. Tell me I'm not alone in hating the drunk-with-MaJiK Willow storyline. For the love of everything that is good and pure, please restore my faith in humanity here.
