I don't know who to link here, but theirs a 48 second video "Why would they cancel Angel?" and it's the funniest vid I've seen of the Buffy/Angel fandom.

Wesley stabs Gunn, it a way that seems, familar...ulp!

How to link from Youtube.

There's some comic book continuity that doesn't work for me if Willow is in the Himalayas.

Angel says to Lindsey "If I was going to kill you it wouldn't be quick." Now, if he was going to get Lorne to do it, OTOH...

James' shirt is off, Angel's on, like The Girl in Question. By the time he did These Girls less than a year after Angel, David is in fantastic (shirtless, and pantless for that matter) shape.

Why would they cancel Angel?

Quarks said...

@Colleen/redeem147: My recollection is that what we hear here does pretty much fit with the comics, especially the whole 'astral projection' aspect. I don't want to give any spoilers for the comics, but my understanding was that this was where Willow was in the Willow stand-alone issue.

Dusk said...

I agree with Quarks on the comic thing, it's the one thing from the break between the Scoobies and AI that they actually bring into the story. Otherwise, they fall into a tired, and now flawed, old formula in regards to a certain interaction.

Colleen/redeem147 said...

Quarks, I'm thinking more of what must be happening with Angel himself at this point for it to fit.

Dusk said...

About the Connor memories thing, ATF is inconsistant with "Orgin" as well, but from there, it's assumed everyone has the real memories in place.

Quarks said...

@Dusk: I always assumed that was because the Senior Partners ended their contract with Angel due to him taking out the Circle of the Black Thorn, and also as a punishment for Angel.

Dusk said...

True, but "Origin" makes us think Connor remembers it all, what he gets in ATF contradicts that.
