Oh, I love that!

Especially Connor beside Angel

eternalfate

Same here!
I love it as well. Nice how well their relationship has gotten! I love how everyone got to see how Connor lived in his dimension.

Just an awesome shoot.

Me too, I always wanted to see Angel & Connor fighting side by side like that, with all the other stuff behind them

banane

Id love to see Angel and Connor like that

starryeyesxx

We got a little taste of it in s5, & I loved it

banane

Yep. And in S3 when they fight together in some club and tgey play outside the club.
And Connor smiles.

I love the little father/son moments.

eternalfate

Yeah I know. And I know since you try to always defend Connor a lot, you would have loved the storyline (if it was done on the show) of everyone going to see how he grew up... which wasn't good.

At least we kinda got it in a way, I had always hoped that he'd become a real part of the fang gang

eternalfate

Probably if the show went on he would've been.

You think? I would have like him to stay after Origin but it didnt happen and I dont know if he would have appeared in the finale hadnt it been the series finale.

I didn't know there was a Fang Gang thread! I've always been more of a Scooby Gang fan, but every time I watch the early seasons of AtS, I'm reminded of how much I love the Fang Gang and how much I adored their closeness. Perhaps my favorite Fang Gang is the end of "Dad" where Angel, Cordy, Wes, Gunn and Fred walk down the hospital hall with baby Connor in tow. It's probably the last time they really felt like a family.

Has anyone read the Angel: After the Fall comics? They're really great and they take place right after "Not Fade Away". Unlike Angel & Faith, where Gunn, Spike and Connor just made guest appearances,they are in After the Fall full-time (although Gunn is a vampire and the Big Bad). Illyria, who wasn't in A&F at all, is there as well and so is Wesley as a ghost.

I think of Angel & Faith as its own little title separate from Angel the Series, whereas After the Fall is truly an AtS comic. The entire Fang Gang is present, except for dear departed Doyle, Fred and Cordelia (although Cordy makes a guest appearance).

Contrary to popular opinion, I don't like the reunion arc in Angel & Faith. Gunn only had like two scenes, and I found the Angel/Connor dialogue to be extremely sappy and saccharine. It felt like they were saying 'I love you' every other page. But After the Fall is loaded with great Angel/Connor moments, that are hilarious and heartwarming, but are written well and not too sweet. A&F was decent and I do recommend it if you're an Angel/Faith fan, but if you want your real Fang Gang fix, then I highly recommend AtF as well.

What is your favorite incarnation of the Fang Gang (feel free to rank them)?

Angel/Cordy/Doyle (S1A)
Angel/Cordy/Wes (S1B)
Angel/Cordy/Wes/Gunn (S2A)
Cordy/Wes/Gunn (S2B)
Angel/Cordy/Wes/Gunn/Fred (S3A)
Angel/Cordy/Gunn/Fred/Lorne/Groo (S3B)
Angel/"Cordy"/Wes/Gunn/Fred/Lorne/Connor (S4)
Angel/Wes/Gunn/Fred/Lorne/Spike (S5A)
Angel/Wes/Gunn/Fred/Lorne/Spike/Illyria/Harmony (S5B)

I didn't read ATF, I kinda kept up on it though, & still do, some things I like to hear about

I'm not gonna rank them all, but my top 3 are probably:
Angel/Cordy/Wes/Gunn (S2A)
Angel/Cordy/Doyle (S1A)
Angel/Cordy/Wes/Gunn/Fred (S3A)
