I really liked that show, and I had hope that it would be picked up by someone else, but now I'm not sure. Dangit!

Thank the Goddess for Stargate: SG-1 and the new Stargate: Atlantis.

Hmmm, haven't seen any of those shows, or even heard about them! What are they about?

i cannot believe they killed wesley off. i was sorta hoping they would spin him and Illyria off into a show of their own. what i never figured out was why they didn't grease illyria early on. this well thing has two ends one in england and the other if it runs straight through somewhere near new zealand in the salty deep blue. if they did the ceremony at the beach in LA there wouldn't have been anyone to get soul sucked as Illyria got dragged back to the well.

there is hope for a tv movie of some sort i hear.

star gate is a tv series based on the movie stargate. i like it better than the movie which had some parts that struck me as being painfully stupid. i cannot believe that vet spec ops troops would split up like that so they can be picked off one by one by the bad guys. the jaffa were better in the movie than the tv series. jaffa are supposed to be rather longer lived than unaugmented humans and presumably achieve some skills during that time. possibly even advanced skills like "seek cover when shot at". in the tv series the jaffa seem to attend the same tactical school as star fleet security officers.

haven't seen atlantis here yet though so no idea what that one is like.

tv worth watching seems to be getting thin on the ground doesn't it.

That's because the series have not begun yet. I think the first episode airs sometime in July. Makes you wonder waht is going to happen to the original SG-1 series. My guess is they're killing the show (this might be their last season).

Maybe it's time we pick up the books again?

Angel was a spinoff of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Angel is a vampire (one of the worst ever, when he was known as Angelus). However, he gets cursed by gypsies when they restore his living soul. (This creates unbelievably large amounts of guilt over the men, women and yes, children that he killed over the years.) One moment of absolute happiness and he loses his soul again and becomes Angelus. In Buffy, she sleeps with him (they were in love) and he has that "special moment." Buffy has to kill him to save the world, but he gets kicked back to Earth. Because they can't be together, he leaves Sunnydale (home to Buffy) and moves to L.A. (and gets his own show).

He seeks the path of redemption for his terrible deeds. He is still a vampire, but he fights evil rather than joining it. He finds a prophecy that talks about the vampire with a soul being restored to humanity if he saves the world during an apocalypse. In the final episode, which aired last night, he signed away that right to prove his loyalty to the Circle of the Black Thorns.

Stargate: Atlantis doesn't start until July, and I haven't heard anything about Stargate: SG-1 being canceled any time soon. They will run back-to-back this upcoming season on Friday nights on SciFi.

The premise of Stargate: Atlantis is that another Stargate has been discovered, presumably in or on Atlantis. From what I have seen of this new Stargate (from previews and going to SciFi.com), it has different symbols than the one that SG-1 has been using. The first trip through this gate could be their last if they don't figure out the gate coordinates back to Earth, and there is a new menace to deal with.

When last we visited Stargate: SG-1, Anubis and his fleet have been destroyed and Jack (series star Richard Dean Anderson, from MacGyver) is frozen, presumably "empty." I find it hard to believe that he won't be back, so you have to figure that the Asgaard or the Tolens or the To'Kra will find a way to help him.

This makes it sound like I watch a lot of TV, but I really don't. I do watch some shows consistently, like Stargate and Angel. Now that Angel is gone, I guess I'll have more time to spend in-game or with a good book.

As far as series finales go, that was one of the best.

It makes the most sense, that if he really needed to kill off a character, that Joss Wheadon decided Wes was the one. He's been wanting to die ever since Fred did.

I wish they get picked up in one form or another because Illyria/Fred was just getting interesting.

I do agree that now TV is lacking in anything good. There are way too many reality shows. Now that Angel is gone, I have no use for network TV.

I just Love Angel's Last Line


"I don't know about you but I kinda want to slay the dragon"

So what did the series finale say to you. I'm kind of big on themes, and series finales are supposed to be big on themes too. The folks who wrote the Buffy and Angel series must have had viewers/fans like me in mind when they wrote these final seasons and the series finales.

The whole point of the Buffy series is that we (especially the girls in the collective) can defeat anything from societal pressures to the devil itself if we draw on the power inside of us.

And the theme for Angel? Those last few shows told the whole story. Maybe you can't save the world, really, but you have to do what you can do. It's the fight that matters.

Anybody else take a different lesson home with them?

Oh I loved that show too atei...And it was a sucky way to end it..So many questions unanswered. I really hope someone does pick it up. I heard that Spike was going to break off and make a show just about him. That might be cool. We will see though...That was my favorite show of all time...

Love Elwen
