The wife and I are quite sad that the one show we really loved is gone, but we couldn't have asked for a better ending.Wes was probably my favorite character of the series. The amount of character development he went through was phenomenal while remaining thoroughly believable. I was very sad to see him go, but at the same time I am glad that Joss chose a truly profound death rather than a cop out (Illyria would have been an easy card to toss, seeing as she was basically just a dead Fred).I loved how every member of the team had their mark, and the manner in which their mini battles were portrayed. Very empowering for each character and a real honor to them as individuals.Lindsey's betrayal was a shock. I have liked his character ever since he was introduced as the confused prettyboy lawyer at W&H, and I admit to a certain exhilaration when he started talking about being a member of the team. His assassination by Lorne (at Angel's instruction) was very very strong.Angel giving up the Shanshu. This was a shocker. The series had seemed to be leading up to Angel (or possible Spike as of Season 5) regaining his humanity. It was a driving factor that went unfilfilled. Again, a very powerful maneuver.The actual ending... the remains of Team Angel, battered and ready to go up against a demon horde. And then of course Angels' great line about the dragon, as mentioned by everyone else. One of those bitterly beautiful moments as you realize it's a perfect ending even as you are kept from seeing what will ever happen.I loved this show. This was a great ending. Can't say the last time I felt emotional about the end of a show... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> Cheers.</blockquote>
