ANGEL: The Fang Gang spends one final night of "normalcy" and then goes toe
to toe with the Black Thorns and the Senior Partners.
Okay, so...no pretty way to put it. Blew the call on that one. I figured
Lorne would be "out" since they'd done nothing interesting with him all
season, and therefore thought he was toast. Well, I got the "out" part
right, since he said he was giving up the fight-for-right life, but I sure
never saw the death of Wes coming. I'm absolutely positive that, were the
series continuing, Wes wouldn't have died. As it was, the farewell scene
between Wes and Illyeria was not only heart-wrenching, but I think Wes is
now firmly entrenched as being the single most tragic character in the
entirety of the Whedonverse. That Andrew winds up with gorgeous blondes on
either arm while Wes' only solace is that he gets to wind up with Fred in
death...jeez.
But hey, kids...let's talk ending. The Butch and Sundance ending. An ending
that I think is likely to polarize "Angel" fans. This will simply not be
something that people go "eh" over. They'll either love it or hate it.
Personally, I loved it.
Why? Because it wasn't an ending. Why is that good? Because it was a true
ending. It was true because the fight against evil has no ending. "Angel,"
particularly in its last season, has been a series about ambiguities, about
gray areas. The fact that there was no clear cut conclusion means that the
series ended in a way that was thematically consistent. And that was a
nervy, incredibly gutsy way to go. Gutsy because it was 100% guaranteed to
piss off a lot of fans who wanted to see if Shonshu was fulfilled, who
wanted to see how (not if) Angel triumphed over the Senior Partners. The
final episode of BtVS bent over backwards to have a tidy ending, and the
incredible plot contrivances in order to accomplish that were painfully
obvious. "Angel" made no such compromises. Whether Angel and the gang win or
lose is almost less important than that they fought knowing that the fight
itself is what mattered.
And what was the single most horrifying moment of the evening?
The closing adios from "your friends at the WB." The WB which, in the words
of Warners staple Elmer Fudd, would have to stand for "Wat Bastawds." If
they're gonna be assholes and cancel the series, then be assholes and cancel
the series, but don't dump a sad, Gee, sorry to see you go tag at the end
when they're the miserable wat bastawds who handed Angel and Company their
walking papers in the first place.
Jerks.

Abbastanza d'accordo con te, quindi. Ma lui e Joss si conoscono? Ah, quanto
vorrei che Peter scrivesse per Star Trek o per il buffyverse...

Be', per Star Trek scrive. Romanzi, ma scrive... quanto vorrei scrivesse
romanzi su Buffy, almeno ci sarebbero romanzi su Buffy decenti!
Non credo si conoscano cmq!

Ti ho detto che due anni fa (alla Sticcon) gli chiesi se avrebbe voluto
scrivere per Buffy? Lui mi rispose parlando per dieci minuti buoni del
buffyverse, con entusiasmo traboccante, e alla fine disse... "Perdonami, mi
avevi chiesto solo se mi piacerebbe scrivere Buffy... beh, sì!" Di una
simpatia debordante, quell'uomo.

Lo dice sempre (a questo punto dobbiamo dire che lo "diceva") che voleva
scrivere Buffy... solo tv pero'! Purtroppo cosi' non e' potuto essere...

IMHO rispetto alle serie tv, i libri derivati sono marginali.
Comunque tu non hai mai letto Federazione, vero?

No, non credo.
La figura di Cochrane emerge molto meglio rispetto a First
Contact..anche se tutto il blocco narrativo relativo a TNG e' una
puttanata, e serve solo come scusa per la scena in cui i due equipaggi
si "salutano".

Go go Power Rangeeeers
:DDD

 si "salutano".
Infatti, a me quello e' rimasto impresso. Ed e' vero che Cochrane emerge
meglio, ma alla fine perche' e' in pratica un personaggio diverso...
