I'd just like to share that [livejournal.com profile] sisabet's vid Two Words (AtS) still makes me cry. I cannot imagine loving Angel more or being more proud of him than I am in that final moment. Angel is a tragedy in many ways, but also a triumph. It lives with death in a way that Buffy doesn't, because the lead is dead the entire series run. Buffy lives with dead in the action, Angel lives with death in the being. Dead, but all too human in every way that truly mattered.

The greatest... thought behind everything that I've seen Joss Whedon write is about not giving up. About fighting those battles, even when you're sure you'll lose.

Strong is fighting. -- Buffy

If nothing that we do matters, then all that matters is what we do. -- Angel

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one. -- Malcom Reynolds

Oh thanks - I am much calmer now - I think I just jumped on this earlier because I am a bit stressed about work and the weather and everything and this was just one more thing and now I feel better. Thank you for letting me know about this - and it is just a strange situation, isn't it?

Very. And yes, Christmas can be a stressful time.
I'm sure no bad will come of this... The studio would probably have to slap James Marsters'...... wrists... for allowing it to be shown at the con! That would be good publicity, I don't think.
