Angel cancelled

For those rantspacers that care...

Angel has been cancelled... I haven't watched the last couple of seasons.... but it seems I'll ahve plenty of time to catch up now.... that being with no new episodes after this season.

From joss himself:

Some of you may have heard the hilarious news. I thought this would be a good time to weigh in. to answer some obvious questions: No, we had no idea this was coming. Yes, we will finish out the season. No, I don't think the WB is doing the right thing. Yes, I'm grateful they did it early enough for my people to find other jobs.

Yes, my heart is breaking.

When Buffy ended, I was tapped out and ready to send it off. When Firefly got the axe, I went into a state of denial so huge it may very well cause a movie. But Angel... we really were starting to feel like we were on top, hitting our stride -- and then we strode right into the Pit of Snakes 'n' Lava. I'm so into these characters, these actors, the situations we're building... you wanna know how I feel? Watch the first act of "The Body."

As far as TV movies or whatever, I'm not thinking that far ahead. I actually hope my actors and writers are all too busy. We always planned this season finale to be a great capper to the season and the show in general. (And a great platform for a new season, of course.) We'll proceed ahead as planned.

I've never made mainstream TV very well. I like surprises, and TV isn't about surprises, unless the surprise is who gets voted off of something. I've been lucky to sneak this strange, strange show over the airwaves for as long as I have. I don't FEEL lucky, but I understand that I am.

Thanks all for your support, your community, and your perfectly sane devotion. It's meant a lot. I regret nothing (except the string of grisley murders in the 80's -- what was THAT all about?) Remember the words of the poet:

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the road less traveled by and they CANCELLED MY FRIKKIN' SHOW. I totally shoulda took the road that had all those people on it. Damn."

See you soon.

emphasis is mine.... damn that fucking reality show shite

Damn people making long single word comments and breaking the page

Okay. Shame. I stopped being a fan of Angel, but I understand that many people liked it, and it probably would have picked up now that Joss has slightly less to worry about. I hope he manages to do something new (I don't suppose he would be picked up to write Dr. Who? That would be good). Maybe he could go and write a good film about Vampires and Werewolves so we don't have to suffer the sillyness of Underworld again.

I'm sure there are good things ahead.....

i didn't know my comment would make the page different, thought the comment would break after a certain amount of characters.

Well. Boosucks to Jordan Levin the Head of Network at the WB. Obviously he wants his network to concentrate on making "quality" drama's like Seventh Heaven and Dawson's Creek. You realise this means MORE reality tv . . . (PS Joss was rumoured to be in talks to pen a Dr Who script. He is instead going to be working on a series of X-Men comics - don't they say someone opens a window every time he closes a door??)

Does Joss Whedon have any history in the comic writing world? I can't remember every hearing anything. I'm sure he'd do a great job.

As an absolute total fan of Buffy and Angel, i have to say yay and nay at the same time!
Although i am sorry to see it end, i have to say everything semi-good has already been done, and done and plaguerized and done again! Even though i will stay glued to the beanbag till the very end, and will be ever watchful for the mini movies with spike and other characters (annouced on rove) i will say ashes to ashes dust to dust to angel and friends.


P.s Hi there droidy and DK! =)
