WB Cancels 'Angel'; Save the show!

[Ben]

I'm anxious to see Gunn and Wes duke it out now.

And I always figured that Knox was a no-good sonuvabitch.

That Knox was always a slimey bastard.  

What a great episode!  Spike had some interesting lines, and sounded quite reflective.

I can't give up hope yet; I'm still sending postcards to lots of the addresses recommended. Even if they aren't actually read, its still fun, and may make a good pile of cards their assistants have to go through.

I guess everyone who makes the show happen is resigned to its fate now, but what the hell.

I had about 31 messages in my inbox from the Save Angel campaign. Apparently, someone goofed, but the messages are all pretty much useless. So, clean out your inboxes if you gave the campaign your e-mail addy.

Pretty interesting article here.

This, however, is more interesting. Not in a good way.

Pretty cool. I hope it works.

Watched my first episode of Angel in a long time, only four fresh episodes to go. WTF is up with the WB calling new episodes "fresh"?? That alone makes me never want to turn it on again.

[Ben]

I've missed the last two episodes, because I'm used to the WB running 'Smallville' in its place.

What happened?

[Xander]

You missed two episodes?  Ok basically,

1 Ep:

- Gunn, Spike, and Angel find Lindsey held captive in a Powers That Be suburb dimension, tortured once a day in the cellar, living the same day every day.  Gunn volunteers to take his place as redemption for what he did to Fred.  Adam Baldwin shows up to take the place of Eve as a Powers That Be go-between.

Meanwhile, Wes and Illyria have comical conversations about other dimensions vs. this world, while you can tell Wes is sinking into depression.
He dreams thematic dreams about Fred.

2 Ep:

- Connor and parents show up ("Hey, Dad"), and we find out the high powered Warlock who reprogrammed all of their memories needs Connor to fulfill the prophecy of killing Sahjhan (who is held in the urn). He blackmails Angel into bringing Connor to him, threatening to return his memory.  Meanwhile Wes, with more funny/touching scenes with Illyria,  catches on that some kind of reality shift occurred when they joined W&H, so he suspects Angel of betrayal.  Wes shows up at the fight and gets the magic box that will return all the memories.  He smashes it, so he remember what actually happened - all the bad stuff between him and Angel - while Connor gets the memories back too. Connor gets viscious and kills Sahjhan.  Connor leaves, without actually saying he remembers, but he hints he does, and decides he must go back to his adopted parents.

Oh, OK, thanks.

Guess I'll have to catch up when the DVD comes out, whenever that it.

So anyone else notice who is gracing the cover of Playboy this month?

Cordelia!

[Ben]

Heh. I've seen them.
I've even seen unpublished Charisma pics. Oooooh.

[Famine]

I <3 the internet.


What worries me, and maybe I missed it...wasn't the cat in the White Room Gunn? And the Cat Gunn slugged him, knocked him out, and came out as Gunn? So what happened to our man Gunn?!
