Because happy endings end shows. As much as I like cheery endings like the one of Smile Time I know that Joss is going to follow that up with something that rips our hearts out and does the macarena on top of it (ooh, that's a good line, I'll have to write that down). It is essential to the show.
Just think about it this way. If Angel had remained human in I Will Remember You, or even if he had kept the gem of Amara, the show would have ended there, the writers would not have been able to go anywhere after that.
Happy ending keep good things the way they are. They are nice every once in a while but in the long run they get boring. Now tragedy (evil chuckle) that keeps things moving, that keeps things shattered and interesting.
So.. unless it is the series finale I wouldn't expect Joss to give us a happy ending of any kind (although Not Fade Away has made us question this much)
cheers.

(deep sigh)
You've made a good point there.
I think I will have Angel suffer more than I planned in Episode 3. Which I have been thinking of a lot but still can't come up with a title.

suffering good, happy endings not so good. i glad that angel has some sufferings in his life because if he didn't suffer, that would be boring and even thought sometimes i am a sucker for happy endings, i think in the long run angel wouldn't be half as good as it was if there wasn't any pain or suffering. i thought i say that because i am really bored.

How did you guys create your logo? The FUWB thing?

I used a program called Logo Creator. It comes with several templates, but everything in it is completely customizable... downloaded Buffy and Angel fonts and then just played around till I got what I wanted. It's not exactly the way I wanted it, though... I had wanted the "Smart Television For Smart Viewers" tagline to be in a Firefly font, but I couldn't find one... the closest I one I could find wasn't free, so there you are And on that note: if anyone can find me a Firefly font, I'd be happy to take a fresh swing at the logo... I love playing with the Creator, so anything to give me an excuse

This may not be the most apropriate place to ask this, but, hey, I'm in a hurry:
Who is our resident Willow/Giles/Wesley; in other words, who does the research now that our main cast consists mostly of immortal heavies?

I guess that Andres since he is the most nerdish of the group and the one that has most knowledge (I don't care how much of a wimp he is he still has a higher IQ than Spike)
Actually in episode four Angel kind of hands him the role of investigator of the case. It has varying degrees of success.

Yeah I got a question.
What happened to putting the episode dates on the board calender?

Post by Drew on Jan 2, 2005 21:48:11 GMT
To answer that question, I'll refer you to the fact that we kept exactly one deadline - for our premier episode. In our original plan, we were gonna have the first eight eps done by now. We have three. So that's why we scrapped the calender. Oh well.

Yeah, our intention was that every Wednesday there would be one episode out, just like on Tv... Yeah, anyways we found out that with the various problems that we expirience that can be done. So I am proud to echo Drew in saying that (after delaying two weeks) we were able to meet ONE deadline with Winning. After that... We are not getting paid, that's all that my publicist is letting me say about the matter.

I understand the problem you guys are having but It'd be nice to have a rough idea of when the episodes go live. Ah well.

Hi all! New to the boards. Went through some major Angel withdraw and started searching the net for fanfic. I must say that I have read the first 3 eps, and they are fantastic!! I am in awe of the talent here. You all have made it easy to see the story in my mind. Thanks! I needed more Angel and now I know where to get him. My question (finally I get to the question) when is the 4th ep coming? I can't wait! I looked through the calendar and nothing.....
Also. there is mention on the other threads about a password for the pre-production? Please advise....

All right: Your first question: Episode four will hopefully be released sometime around mid-January. We all realize that the gaps between episodes are a bit wide and are trying to do our best to shorten them. But problems keep coming up, either technical or scriptwise. But I'm confident it will be out by month's end. Boy was that vague? Second Question: All of the Pre-Production section are under a password in order to keep the ideas for our season away from the public. To have the password you must be a writer or "idea-man" for our season. For further details on this check out the section called "Join the Team" Hope that helps.
