Yeah, they kept arguing about it, but she just wasn't going to go - no matter how dangerous it got

At a convention (the middle actress is Clare Kramer, who played Glory; she, Julie Benz and Charisma are best friends in real life)

Aww, love that pic!

I always like to pretend that all the characters are still alive & together, continuing the fight against evil

Crystal Clear

I find it so funny that Cordy, Darla and Glory are real-life BFFs because they have such similar character traits


J ages like fine wine


I still don't know what to think about the ANGEL series finale. You could tell that it was the consequence of Joss having to quickly wrap up the show when it was prematurely cancelled. He had plans for Season 6 that went to waste.


I was already devastated that Cordy was gone forever, then they went and killed Wes and Gunn

Charisma & Julie being so close always makes me wish that we got more Cordy/Darla scenes - & now I wish that Glory had somehow made an appearance on Agel too

& J does still look so good!

I have mixed feelings about the finale too, but I do kinda feel like it sums up the show - it's about fighting, even if you can't win & I know it's completely illogical, but we didn't see Gunn actually die, so in my mind, he survived

Crystal Clear

I do appreciate the message - that it's open ended because "it's important to keep fighting" It was just so bleak that I was kind of shocked. I remember being stunned when Lorne killed Lindsey.


Didn't Illyria say to Gunn "you don't have long left?" Poor Gunn. I think his forthcoming death was pretty much implied, right there.


The sad thing is that it had already been a tough year for Gunn. He was still blaming himself for Fred's death. Also, I don't think the group ever moved on from Cordy's death.

Yeah, I think Gunn was pretty close to death, but I like living in denial

I do feel so bad for Gunn in s5, I feel like he had pretty much lost most of his will to live by the end of it

Crystal Clear

Season 5 depressed the hell out of me I wasn't sure it would even be worth watching still after they killed Cordy. The Angel puppet episode was hilarious! Then they held Gunn inadvertently responsible for Fred's death by allowing the sarcophagus into Wolfram & Hart, and he spends the rest of the season either suicidal or being treated like the odd one out by the rest of the group He basically has the same role that Wesley had in Season 3 after he kidnapped Connor.

It was pretty depressing, if you're a Gunn fan though you should check out his thread - I just put a new OP in there with his whole story arc on the show

I wish Cordy could have been there for more than 1 ep, she had that hug with Gunn & they didn't get any other moments

Crystal Clear

Great! I'll come over



We were totally deprived of Cordy/Gunn in S5 That one shared moment where she thought he was "prematurely bald" was cute though

starryeyesxx

Oh yeah, I don't think that was the reunion he expected

Crystal Clear

The show got more and more weird as it went along. Season 4 jumped the shark, for me. I couldn't bear the not-Cordy hook-up with Connor and the only part I liked was when Gunn, Fred and Angel were looking everywhere for the real Cordelia (before she got amnesia).

starryeyesxx

There were definitely tough spots in s4, there are a lot of episodes/moments that are hard to watch...it's a shame, but I guess Joss just wanted the show to go dark which meant that bad things were gonna happen to our fang gang

I'm glad they got a hug - I don't think they had had one before
