 All right guys, I just read the finale for Angel on a spoilers page and now I'm thinking " ." I mean Angel and the gang are taking over Wolfram & Hart? Did they forget they were evil? Wasn't Lilah dead? Has Conner gone crazy? Like the traditional Joss Whedon fashion, the man leaves us with more questions that answers in the finale. I keep thinking "Wolfram & Hart are setting some kinda trap", but so far it looks to be genuine. They've been the big bad behind all the other big bads for all four seasons and now they're just handing the reigns over to the good guys. Sounds like a big ol' trap to me, but I guess we'll have to wait a few weeks to see. Don't get me wrong I'm thrilled Wolgram & Hart is back. I was pissed when the Beast tore them apart (even though that was a cool espisode). Onto Conner, according to the spoilers he's set up with some sorta mock family where he's more or less a normal kid worrying about the usual kid stuff instead of demons and darkness. And the kicker is that Angel seems very aware of this fact yet just lets it proceed. A few other interesting sidenotes is that Jasmine seems to have mysteriously vanished (or destroyed) and that Cordelia still remains in a comma. Personally I'm hoping Jasmine gets a little more devious before she departs, cause this "love is the way" shraoud is gonna get old really fast. While we're on the subject of bad ass bitches, Lilah's back! I'm not as surprised about this "resureection". I mean Holland from season 1-2 returned from the dead after Darla and Dru killed him, so maybe the top executives are bound to the service of Wolfram & Hart even in death. I'm kinda hoping the little girl in the white room returns as well, cause she was kick ass. It sounds like a perfect finale that will probably end in cliffhanger badness, but it'll also lead into a spectacular beginning for season 5. I'm expecting Willow to have to save everybody from Wolfram & Hart's clutches, assuming she makes the crossover journey to LA after Buffy bows out.So like all things, we'll have to wait and see how it all turns out.

Everything I've read and seen points to it actually being the real deal Angel. Plus I doubt the First would try and pull that crap with Buffy. She's too slick for it's illusion tricks. Everyone else though is fair game. Faith seemed to be falling under it's influence when it became the Mayor, which I loved by the way. I really really wanna see more big bads pop up before the end. Also the biggest news SHE FOUND THE WEAPON IN "FRAY" (comic about a future slayer that is written by Joss "God" Whedon) I was so loving that. That was the best 2 seconds ever. I can't wait to see her use it. Also any scene involving the First and Caleb's interactions is priceless. I loved the part when Caleb was trying to get Buffy and the First was sitting there saying "Caleb, this is getting a little embarassing." Also the part when the Bringer was talking through Andrew was neat. Gave some cool insights into how they think and feel. Some people were bashing the ep and I was like "who are you people?" I thought it was a great ep. Not the best, mind you, but great. My personal fav thus far has been "Dirty Girls" , but moving on. I will defintly have to make my presence known at the Alias board. I'll probably kick it off with some Irina postage.Also Angel's finale tonight was a whole messa' 
Sick, twisted bastards! Oh yeah, I forgot, this is W&H I'm talking about. My bad. I do have to say, the part with Gunn was odd. I assumed his comment about the little girl was about the girl that was his tour guide, that he'd rather have her instead of the jaguar. I could be wrong. I was a little shocked to see that he'd pass up the offer at first for W&H when they tried to lure him with Buffy. She's always been a weakness for Angel. But Conner is what did it for him. And Cordelia. Interesting. I'm excited to see what he does on Buffy next week! All in all, I thought it was a pretty good finale!
