Angel 5.12 - You're Welcome (100th episode!)
Buffy's 100th episode, (Season Five's finale "The Gift") was nowhere near as memorable as Angel's 100th. I didn't even know that Buffy's 100th was "The Gift" until five minutes ago when I looked it up. "The Gift" wasn't really the 'milestone' episode that it was supposed to be. Besides, it didn't get as much attention from the media as Angel's 100th did. It was a perfect episode with an even more perfect ending.

Joss Whedon didn't even have write or direct this episode and it was this good. This episode had more drama packed in it than all the other episodes combined. The funniest parts: Angel agreeing to Tuesday racquetball with someone that looks like the Devil, Lorne saying he was probably making some filthy demon urine right then and there when he saw the blade Gunn was holding up, Cordelia calling Eve "Lilah junior", Cordelia asking "Who's Colin Farrell?", and Cordelia telling Spike that her soul was better than his.

I'm not sure how any story or any character could have more closure than LOTR. But Cordy did. You would've thought that the part where Spike talks civilly to Angel after having his hands reattached in "Damage" was heavy. But that last scene with Angel picking up the phone and finding out that she died (after they shared a final kiss) was the most bittersweet moment in the history of Buffyverse. Nothing on Buffyverse has ever initiated this finally-nailing-the-last-nail-on-the-coffin feeling. Even though I hadn't seen Cordy in action for so long, I could still feel the closure. Damn, if Angel ever ends, it better go out with enough closure for both Buffy and Angel. I don't want any of that quasi-closure stuff that Buffy finale "Chosen" emulated.

Supposedly, Angel is going through a ratings revival. So it better be picked up for another 2 or 3 seasons. I really don't want to watch American Idol. Or Survivor All-Stars. Or anything that could result in a breast being revealed "accidentally".
