Tiz the end of an era

[LemmingofGlory]

I didn’t get why Lorne wanted out, and why he killed off the hippie.

It was my impression that killing Lindsey was on Angel's orders. Lorne's depression, though, struck me as rather out of character.

• What happened to Angel and the rest of the gang in that alley? Did they all die?

The ending reflects the theme of the final few shows: "Victory is impossible. All you can do is fight." As such, I felt the ending worked very well. I like that it's unresolved. It seems somehow more heroic that way.

• How would Wes’ father react to his son’s demise?

I thought Wes's death was just a ratings grabber; they shouldn't have put it in the previews for the finale, at any rate. Illyria's humanization at Wes's death was touching. She rather reminds me of a recycled version of Anya, though.
