Joss Whedon’s stated point of view, is that it is not his job to tell
the story the fan’s “want” but what they “need”, though he admits
criticism “affects” him:
Joss:
“It always affects me. At the same time, I need to give them what
they need, not what they want. They need to have their hearts broken.
They need to see change. They hated Oz, and then they hated that
he left. These things are inevitable. If people are freaking out, I'm
good. If people are going, "Hmmm...well, that was fine," I'm
[old anglo-saxon term omitted].”
(Whedon, 2002)

Season 5 was terrible, and the finale especially terrible! Let's just kill off the whole cast why don't we???
Especially terrible, or terribly upsetting? There's a difference.
Hmm. You did know that UPN had canceled the show.
They didn't kill off the cast on screen, you know. We just see them running forward into the fray. Of course they were killed. That's Joss. Did it
make you angry? If yes, then to him 'mission accomplished'. What was the title of that ep? Take a minute and look it up. You'll understand then, I
think. (*)
Plus they completely botched the whole "Nyazian prophecies" storyline, where Angel could have potentially won his humanity back and reunited with
Buffy....
Well, either you have not yet read the Nyazian Prophecies FAQ, or perhaps the writers were running out of ideas.
Besides, Angel, with his humanity, is about as dangerous as any normal human. Oh, wait, without it, he -is- a normal human. I doubt he'd have a very
long lifeline after that happened.
Did you see the interview, recently where SMG talked about coming back and doing a Movie?
