Angel's "champion" status - really iffy. And I don't just mean because he supposedly signed away the Shanshu.
To me, I think that Angel probably figured that, to fulfill his plan, he was going to need to give up on his hopes for the phropecy. With the kind of people that he was going to have to go up against, they wouldn't let him just get in on his good looks alone. He knew that he'd be called on to do things that would seriously hinder the whole Shanshu thing forever.
Both of the Wes/Illyria interactions reduced me to tears. The first in Spike's apartment just tore out my little heart, and his death scene then proceeded to stomp on it.
To me, this was one of the parts of the episode that rang the most true. Both scenes felt so real and emotional that it made the second one just that more emotional.
I felt bad for Lindsey.
This was the bit that I didn't quite get. To me, it didn't really seem to add up right. I guess it comes down to the fact that Angel thought that he knew that Lindsey wouldn't be on the side of good for very long following what went down. But it just didn't seem to feel right when it happened. Maybe it's just me.
So that's the Apocalypse with the capital "A"?
The "Apocolypse" is everything going on in the world now. The evil that is creeping into the every day world and threatening to take over everything. That's the apocolypse that Lindsey was talking about. This isn't a "Big Bad" battle like they normally have. This is an evil that is being weaved into the very fabric of our reality. The scene with Gunn at the shelter points toward this. He's questioning the reason to keep trying even if it seems like there is no way to win. The fact that the woman that he talks to (I feel like an idiot for forgetting her name) has no problem with continuing to try and work to make her little part of the world a better place shows that there is a reason to keep fighting and that, no matter what, we can't give up or that means that the "Apocolypse" has finally won.
