The one thing I know about angel is that it’s renowned for its season finales. This one seems to be no exception. (I can’t tell, however, if they’re hyping up the “I’m not bursting into flames!” line from THIS year or LAST year…)

this year
I saw the full ad once, and he’s not bursting into flames while in the
offices of Wolfram & Hart.
Re: this year
nice to know when he’s not bursting into flames. (sorry…I just love the whole “I’m not bursting into flames!” line. it’s very…oddly hysterical.)
Can someone catch me up?
My fiancee got me into Buffy last year and then I started watching Angel at the start of the Angelus storyline, about 6-8 eps ago. Having just seen the season finale, I have a couple of questions.
1. What’s the story with Wolfram and Hart? I picked up that they’re “evil lawyers” (obvious joke about that being redundant omitted) but what all have they done exactly?
2. How long has Connor been on the show? Just curious on this one.
Thanks.

Re: Can someone catch me up?
Quite a bit. Let’s see… Wolfram & Hart were, as you surmised, a lawfirm.
We never met the “senior partners”, but have been lead to believe that
they are serious evil who live in a demon dimension. LA is just a branch
office. A couple of years back we learned that they had some dealings
with Loren’s home dimension too, though they didn’t go into that in too
much detail. All along they’ve known that Angel would play a part in the
apocalypse so they spent quite a bit of effort trying to turn him so he’d
be on their side in the final battle.
Trying to recall. There’s a good episode guide at TV
Tome. He was born in season 3, wisked off to a demon dimension
only to return at the end of the season as a grown teenager. We just
wrapped season 5, so he’s only been a major character for 2 seasons
and a bit, I think.
Re: Can someone catch me up?
Who’s Connor??
Re: Can someone catch me up?
go to buffyworld.com, it’s got all the seasons episode summaries in a super easy to read format!
Re: Can someone catch me up?
Cute. I’m glad I’m not the only one who picked up on that subtle bit. I think it’s Wolfram & Hart’s plan to get ahold of Conner like they wanted, that there’s more to him that just the Jasmine story. Could be just wishful thinking though — Conner is a good character, played extremely well by Vincent Kartheiser. I’m really hoping they didn’t just write him out.
New Direction
Well, They Said The Show Was Going To Go In A New Direction Next Season.
So We’ve Got Angel Heading Wolfram And Hart…
Connor Doesn’t Exist To Any But Angel. So Now He’s Got A Day Of Being Human And Boning Buffy That No One Else Knows About, A Son, And The Gem Of Amara (Doyle’s Dead.)
So, Next Season, No Connor (No Offense, But GOOD! He Was Kinda A Failed Story Arc, If You Ask Me.) We’ll Probably Not See Cordy For A Bit. And, We’ve Got The Team Probably all Getting Suspicious Of Each Other As They’re All Slowly Corrupted.
Is It Just Me, Or Does It Feel Like The Show has Some Closure, And Next Year Is Going To Be A Fairly Fresh Start For Them?
Re: New Direction
I heard a rumor that this episode was meant to act as an end point
as well as a marketing tool to encourage WB to pick it up for
another season.
Couple of quick points
First did anyone recognize the scientist guy who led Fred around. After reading the Buffy discussion i realized he played the vampire in “conversations with dead people” oh my god he’s either back from the dead or has a semi evil twin brother! I wonder what happenned with Gunn they didnt show us what happenned with the panther thingy. Also we dont know the full terms to Angel being the boss so now i gotta know what happenned there too. Darn well here’s to another 6 months of waiting but on the bright side i can catch up to all the epsiodes i missed.
Re: Couple of quick points
THAT’S WHO HE IS!!!!
I Couldn’t Place him. I Was Trying To Figure Out Who It Was For The Rest Of That Entire Episode. I Think I Know Him From something Else Also.
…(Hits Up IMDB)
Nope, Evidently Not.
Six Months? Don’t You Mean Three?
Re: Couple of quick points
I can only hope that it’s a case of Mutant Enemy simply liking an actor enough to use him twice in one year (I liked him quite well myself) as two completely separate characters. That kind of continuity I neither want nor need.
Good episode and discussion, but…
OK, all this is fine and all, but WHO IS CONNOR?
:)
Re: Good episode and discussion, but…
Re: Good episode and discussion, but…
Yeah, but who’s Connor? ;- )
Re: Good episode and discussion, but…
Is there an option on this site to block posts from people who don’t understand when they’ve run a joke into the ground? And, for that matter, posters Who Can’t Capitalize Correctly?
Re: Good episode and discussion, but…
Nope, maybe we could use an option to block posts complaining about
posters too, because this is something like the 12th post about Mr
Capital Letters BTW.
We should find where he lives and confiscate his Shift and Caps
keys.
Time to round up the posse…
Re: Good episode and discussion, but…
Pittsburgh.
Can We Go For Coffee First?
Re: Good episode and discussion, but…
Lame piontless and stupid. Forget about the shift keys.
I though this site was meant for discussing about kewl topics like Angel. Not for complainig.
Re: Good episode and discussion, but…
He’s an Immortal, born in the Highlands of Scotland. He is over four hundred years old, and he cannot die.
There can be only ONE! :-P
Oddly enough, that’s my proposed tagline for all things Highlander.
Offtopic like anything…
See, it works!
Highlander 2: There should’ve been only [Highlander] 1.
Highlander 3: There really should’ve been only 1.
Highlander TV show: there is only one, and it’s certainly not Adrian Paul
Highlander Endgame: Highlander TNG – if no one sees it, there will be only one [movie with Adrian Paul as a MacLeod].
