Current Talk '04 I / Re: OT - Angel to return

Well, I LOVE Angel. And I'm not happy to see it go by any means. But there's not much I can do about it.
The interesting thing is even Joss Whedon isn't sure if HE wants to do anything about it because part of him is happy to see Angel end (a fact that many of Angel's fans conveniently choose to ignore). The WB has proposed continuing Angel as a series of TV movies - however, Whedon's response to that was, "And who will make them for you?" because he's heavily in the development of the film Serenity, which is based on his canceled FOX series, Firefly. Now, that statement could have simply been a ploy to make the WB sweat. But there's also the fact that with Joss you never know if you can actually believe what he's saying. For example, in one interview he's condescending about SMG's decision not to appear on Angel earlier this season, but in the next he's quite understanding, and then he's back to being condescending again in another, and then understanding again, and... Well, you get the idea.
Of course, Angel's cancellation won't stop me from watching a WB DS. But then, as much as I enjoy Angel, I'm a bigger fan of DS.
