What a day this has been....

Of course, everyone's all abuzz with the news that this will be Angel's last season. They have eight episodes to close out a whole bunch of storylines. Hopefully they'll do a good job and not muck it up completely. I use the mantra "Trust The Joss" to keep myself from going absotively babnas (a little eBay Bidding Board lingo, there)...but now that he has nothing to lose, he could just kill everyone off in an apocolypse and be done with it. *sob* What will we do without our weekly dose of Spike?

The press release said something about possibly doing some movie specials next season. I'll believe it when I see it, but it's a thin reed of hope. But if everyone doesn't have a reason to be together for a whole season, then chances are they'll be scattered around doing other projects and won't have the time. So, this is probably it. I signed an online petition (for what that's worth. Heh). Might write a letter to the network execs. Dunno.

Just found a site that has ratings for "Angel" vs other shows on the WB. And am now wondering why in the world they're cancelling a show that consistently scores in the upper third of all their shows? Seems like a dumb decision to me, making that many fans go away, to make room for... ???? Who knows.

The ratings site is here:

if anyone cares.

On the other hand.....I'm still giggling over the promos for next week's ep. Some of the art that's come out of that is so good (check out my "Memories" for one), and the whole concept is just hysterically funny.

Pretty icon!

alliterator made this for me. [glomps him fangirlishly] Much better than the one I did. Maybe I'll ask for a better photo program for my birthday.

Instead of a DVD player for my laptop. Uh. Maybe not.

Okay. Toddling off to bed now.

Joss Whedon Surprised by Dark Shadows Pilot... January 20 2004

Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon was left disarmed when asked for his reaction to the WB's new Dark Shadows pilot, the Alameda Times-Star reports. Whedon, currently producer of WB vampire drama Angel, had not been told by the WB of their plans. "At least it’s not an important, successful producer," Whedon replied drily.

Warner Bros chairman Jordan Levin later apologized for not informing him earlier. "I think the two shows can co-exist," commented Levin afterwards. Angel is an action-adventure, while Dark Shadows is a gothic soap opera."

Angel Cancelled as Pilot Details Emerge February 14 2004

A fallen Angel seems to bode well for the WB's Dark Shadows pilot. The network announced the cancellation of its Buffy spin-off yesterday, just weeks after WB executive Jordan Levin insisted that Dark Shadows posed no threat for the show's future. For full coverage on Angel, visit Zap2it.

Un. Frickin'. Believable.

"A fallen Angel bodes well"???? Pissing off the fanbase for one vampire show bodes well for another?

HOW? Before they cancelled my favorite show, I might have been interested in taking a look at their new Vampire Gothic Soap Opera. Now? They can eat my shorts.

Someone needs to take away the WB exec's crack pipes.
