I've heard him sing. I didn't know I was going to be the one to end Lindsey's path--the Powers mercifully kept that knowledge to themselves--but I knew it would end badly.

Life's all about choices, right? The choices you make determine the life you lead. Where does destiny end and free will begin? Does the fact that Someone up there knows what you're going to do, before you do it, preclude free will? You're still choosing, right? So. I don't know. Anyway. I've done this last job, and now I'm leaving.

Goodbye, Angel-cakes. Goodbye, LA. Goodnight, folks.

Wow. Very nice introspective Lorne piece. I was very saddened when Lorne said that last line.

*sigh* Me too. He did what Angel asked him to do, but Angel pushed him too far. If he went in for that sort of thing, he would have stayed in Pylea.
