Dulce et Decorum EstNot Fade Away - Though it may be too late now to sound a death knell, it's time to declare this the end of Angel. As usual there's plenty of angst and gloom: just forty-two minutes 'till they meet their doom. It may start with a scuffle, but it ends with a clang. There's a hole in the timeslot where Cary once sang. This is the end, the end of Angel. For five (or more) years, his life has been hell. At least he's finally free of Buffy. Now save up your pennies for the DVDs. |
