Also, just warning you now before you start season 5 of Angel: DO NOT WATCH THE OPENING CREDITS OF ANGEL 5x01 !!! MAJOR SPOILERS! After you watch 5x01 then you can watch the credits :-)

Part of the reason Cordy was still in a coma in this finale has to do with Charisma Carpenter being pregnant throughout filming most of this season and at this time (end of season) she was probably due to give birth soon so they probably didn’t give her a big workload and long schedules.

As problematic as this season can be (and that’s all been discussed plenty) I actually really enjoy this season and a major part of it is that last scene with them. The acting between David Boreanaz (heartbreaking) and Vincent Kartheiser (also heartbreaking) is some of the best of this show I think. But more beautifully tragic is how the last scene of this season perfectly bookends with the very first scene of the season: a family sitting together at the dinner table. Even the parallel of the toast (“To family.”) where in ep1 it’s Wesley who says it and now in the finale it’s Connor. It’s what Angel and Connor both needed and wanted with all their hearts. And this has been sprinkled throughout this season through Connor, like when he got so affected by the Svear family massacre, and in this episode where he gets so mad at that cop who was gonna kill himself and leave his family behind. In the end they were both fighting for family but unfortunately Angel came to realize that in order to give that to Connor he couldn’t be the father he needed. Ultimately, the same theme we’ve seen before in Buffy and even earlier in this season of Angel is that love is sacrifice. And he literally had to kill his son in order to have him essentially be reborn to a new family and happy life. Also the ending music in this episode......so beautiful too, on par with the Buffy season 5 finale music (interestingly titled ‘Sacrifice’).
