Television meme day 22
Oct. 1st, 2010 01:24 pmThis television meme was snagged from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
autographedcat by way of serenejournal. The idea is to answer one question a day from the list below. (Yes, yes I'm way behind. Never mind the applicability of the day numbers. I'm just keeping the numbering because I'm anal that way. I'm slow at this but I'm still having fun answering them when I can, so moving right along :-) Today's is:
Day 22 - Favorite series finale.
I genuinely loved the end of Angel. It was a strong episode independent of it being a finale. In fact, it remains one of my favorite Angel episodes. So many good scenes: Lorne as he goes off to do his part telling everyone he would do this, but afterwards he would be gone.
After Lorne shoots Lindsey, Lindsey: "You killing me? A flunky?! I'm not just... Angel... kills me. You... Angel... [dies]"
Illyria turning into Fred to comfort Wesley as he dies.
In the fight between Angel and Marcus Hamilton, Hamilton: Let me say this as clearly as I can. You cannot beat me. I am a part of them. The Wolf, Ram, and Hart. Their strength flows through my veins. My blood is filled with their ancient power.
Angel: Can you pick out the one word there you probably shouldn't have said? [he vamps out and bites Hamilton, draining his blood] Wow. You really are full of it!
I especially like that Whedon leaves most of the group still fighting evil:
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence.
Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.
Angel: Amongst other things.
[A horde of demons and monsters is bearing down on Angel's team.]
Gunn: Okay, you take the thirty thousand on the left…
Illyria: You're fading. You'll last ten minutes at best.
Gunn: Then let's make 'em memorable.
Spike: And in terms of a plan?
Angel: We fight.
Spike: Bit more specific?
Angel: Well, personally, I kinda want to slay the dragon. Let's go to work.
I realize that some people think that that left the entire series up in air, but I disagree entirely. It pretty much wraps up all the individual storylines and starts them off on a new adventure. Anyway, I loved it.
I also enjoyed the final episode of Stargate SG-1 Mainly because it was so very different from the regular show. It's a complicated plot setup, but the short version is that the SG-1 gets stuck in a "time bubble" outside of our time (or at least so slow it might as well be) and the team must eventually spend their entire lives together on a spaceship. What I really loved is it gave me the opportunity to experience this group of people living their lives. It was a small quiet storyline that I found to be a comfortable little goodbye to their fans.
