Subject: Possible Finale Information....Spoilerish
I will prefice this by saying that I am highly skeptical of this information because I believe that I heard somewhere that David Fury said that the finale would not film until April. But I am posting this information because if it is true, it is very interesting.
Today I was talking to a member of the "Angel" crew. He said that they have just finished wrapping this season yesterday. The finale was shot, and yes Sarah Michelle Gellar did show up for a surprise cameo. He said that in the finale Angel goes "Godfather" on the Senior Partners and everyone that ever had some sort of evil background. In one particular scene he recounted for me, Lindsey, who has since joined Team Angel and has been working very "closely" with Angel is sent along with Lorne for some reason to finish off killing some demons that are tied to the Senior Partners. After Lindsey kills the demons, Lorne pulls a gun on him. Lindsey tells him that he is now 100% on Angel's side, that he can be trusted, and if he wants he will sing for him to prove his faithfulness. Lorne says he has already heard him sing, and that it was Angel that has ordered his death. Lorne, who has never fired a gun before, then shoots Lindsey in the head killing him. This sets off a montage showing Team Angel excuting anyone that has ever been remotely tied to evil. In the end, Angel and the Fang Gang have taken out all their enemies including the Senior Partners.
This crew member did not tell me if Buffy chose either Spike or Angel. He had no news on any shippage, just that Buffy appears.
Now like I said, take this with a grain of salt. I really do believe that the finale will not film until April, which would make this foilage and not spoilage. Regardless, I posted this because it would be a very interesting ending if they chose to go this way.
А вот эту cskre я нашла на Whedonesque - первое "после-аннуляционное" интервью Энди Халлетта:

Spoilers warning: all of season 4
General Spoilers for season 5
To the Hebrew Version
The Hollywood Highland Complex on Hollywood Boulevard is packed with people, and I'm sitting there on a bench, trying to figure out who among all of them is Andy Hallett. After all, although I googled him for pictures, so far Ive only known him as Lorne the Host on "Angel", and Lorne is green, with red eyes, and horns. For a moment there, I almost mistake him for a forty-ish, balding Japanese guy, but then the real Andy comes along, and he looks great, and much much taller.a
We go over to a nice restaurant, take a sit, get our cran-apple-tinies from the waitress, and start the interview. Nobody in the entire place, not even the waitress, suspects that Andy here is a primetime TV star, and that seems to suit him just fine.a
So how did you end up doing "Angel"? I ask him, and he gives me a look. "I mean the show", I correct myself. "How did you end up on the show?". Andy smiles and says:a
When I first got to LA seven years ago - God, Ive been here forever - I came with a friend of mine, Dawn, whos related to Joss Whedon, so I basically got to know him socialy at first. So he watched me and my friends singing at this bar in Holywood, I used to beg him to come to that bar. Make him. It was scary, I mean scary.a
Too sleazy for him?a
Well, he likes stuff like that, but there were darts, you could play darts (at the bar) and these were some serious dart players, and the dart board - that was the stupidest arrangement ever, I used to bitch about it to the owner all the time - the board was at the middle of the bar. People are at the dance floor, and then you see a dart flying and you just have to duck, Im serious. These guys playing darts were old time dart players and there was this guy, Jim, whos the darts champion over there, and he didnt take it from nobody and if you were in his way, he would just throw the dart anyway.a
What a nice guy! Can I meet him?a
Oh, hes dead. He got clubbed over the head and hes dead, so no. Unfortunately you cant talk to him, no. So Joss developed this idea and I saw him in the airport, and he was like "What do you think of coming and auditioning for this part?" and he told me straight up, he said "I was inspired by you", so that was nice, but he also said "That doesnt necessarily mean youll get It", because I didnt have any experience.a
So if somebody else got the part you were the inspiration for, wouldnt that just suck?a
I would have been PISSED. I would be watching the show every week going like - "@#%$ @#%$!", So I auditioned, and then I had to audition again and again, and then I got the part. I was only supposed to appear a couple of times, like two or three times.a
But people went crazy for you.a
Yeah, which was great. Really really great.a
Are you at all bothered by the fact you have this role in which youre covered in prosthetics and make up-a
Yes!a
and people cant recognize you? I finish my question.a
No, that part is good. I like that, that anonymity thing.a
You get the best of both worlds.a
Yes.a
But the make-up is a bitch?a
A BITCH! A bitch, whore, slut. I HATE the make-up!a
Do you at least enjoy the time you spend with the make-up artist?a
Dane is really good. Hes a true professional; hes won Emmy awards for his make-up and stuff. Dane is cool, its just that this make-up procedure takes a long time and I cant sit still for two seconds. And also, it's usually in a stupid hour of the day.a
Like 4 a.m?a
Yes. Ive never been a morning person. Never ever ever.a
As you probably already discovered yourselves, Andys mind tends to wonder a little. Behind every fairly simple question lays an informative, interesting-beyond-expectations answer. He loves to talk and it definitely shows, but at this point I decide weve had enough with the small talk, and cut straight to the good stuff.a
What do you think about James joining the cast in the fifth season? Do you like what he brought to the show?a
Yes. James has a huge following with the ladies, huh? A lot of the fans followed him to the show. He also added a lot of action scenes to the show and his character has a lot of history, which creates a deeper story line. And it also gave us a chance to work with new people, new faces, so thats always fun too.a
When did you find out that Cordelia is never coming back on the show, and how did you feel about that?a
I guess I found out in April or May but I dont really remember vividly. I just remember being at home, in Cape Code, at my parent's house - to hear the news about the show - and then finding out that we got picked for a fifth season but Cordelia was not going to be in the mix. And I remember being surprised, but I also knew she was pregnant and having a child, and that she probably wanted to spend time with her child.a
She did appear to be surprised about the news herself. I mean, do you really believe it was her decision?a
I honestly dont know. I know she wanted to spend more time being able to raise the child, because the way her schedule was prior to that - she couldnt have. It just takes so long to shoot this stuff. So LONG. To shoot one show is eight days, and its eight long, long days, and its exhausting. So I can see how one would want not to be doing both at the same time. But I think that Joss and those guys also thought that her character had come to a... I dont know, that she had reached a plateau or whatever, but I didnt see that and I dont think that a lot of the fans saw that, so I was really surprised. But I LOVE her. Shes one of those girls that... shes in charge, shes a powerful person. Shell let you know right away if somethings bothering her on the set.a
So shes kinda really like Cordy?a
Yeah, in a way. But not the bitchy part. Just very direct and has a powerful presence about her.a
Now with Cordy gone, you hardly have any female characters on the show (except for Fred). How do you feel about that?a
I dont notice it that much because a lot of my scenes have women in them. And we have Mercedes Mcnab, whos funny and great. I love her.a
What do you think about the changes in the fifth season - the new format, new locations?a
I LOVE the new locations! It makes it a lot more fun. Its a bigger set and just
well, new. But its also hot as balls in there (you can print that). In between takes, I have to go and stand next to the air condition units, because I get so hot and can melt. Its ridiculous. But aside from that, the new sets are the bomb! I just dont know if that was the right story arc. To me, its like we say were going in to change it (Wolfram & Hart), but the place is so evil that... I dont know.a
Andy has obviously put a lot of thought into the matter, yet finding the exact words seems difficult for him. I'm not sure whether or not to press the issue, thinking that I have trouble putting my finger on the problem myself. Plus, the show may be cancelled, but I wouldnt want to mess with the writers, nor would he. I try to change the subject into a more cheery, colorful one, and strike gold.a
Whats your favorite episode?a
Vegas.a
Well, you can't get more colorful then Vegas. "The House Always Wins"?a
Yes. Thats my favorite. Favorite-favorite-favorite! Not because it was all about ME, but because we got to go on location to Las Vegas. When we go on location, its usually around here, like an old house, or a gas station, so that was fun. And Ive always wanted to have like a Vegas show, so it's like a real Vegas show, except that all the people sitting in the audience were getting paid to be there.a
Remember the scene where Joss played your brother and did that ridiculous Dance of Joy? How could you keep a straight face during the shoot - in other words, how many takes did it take?a
A lot! But I didnt know it was him. He was keeping it a secret.a
Do you think knowing it would have made it funnier?a
No, I knew after a little while, but HE wanted it to be a big surprise, so he even had his make-up done in another make-up trailer. And I remember, cause the make-up artists were having to cater for his needs, so the whole time I was in make-up I kept hearing "Weve got to do Namphar over at the brown trailer" and Im thinking "Who the @#%$ is this Namphar? And why is HE getting special treatment, more than I am?", And then we went to a rehearsal, which was out in the woods, and I was late and they were waiting for me. And usually before rehearsals I go up to the other actors and introduce myself, but I was late this time, so I couldnt. And then I saw Namphar and he did his dance and I thought "Oh my god! Who IS this guy?" I thought he was trash. And... how did I find out? Umm...a
He yelled "CUT!"?a
He smiles, Yeah, right. Thats very funny... I was standing with David Boreanez, and he was like "Oh my god! Do you know who that is?", and he told me, and Joss was really pissed that David told me.a
