Buffyverse Deaths

[VisionBoy]

Now this is new information. I dont recall Lilah saying this but if she did then maybe Jasmine or the beast might had had hunted Lilah down to Wesley's apartment. they did leave her alone in the sewers thou.

LILAH
(chuckles) Working the sewers. Beast took everything. Killed them all.

ANGELUS
It's all the damage. He does have a flair for it.

LILAH
Not just at the office. Everybody. Field ops. Liaisons. People out sick that day. But not me. Not yet. (exasperated) Why is he picking on us? We're the bad guys!

Wesley was expecting her to leave the sewers and go elsewhere. When she came back there was this dialogue:

WESLEY
When I said "go underground," I didn't think you'd— Is that where the Beast—?

As I said before, that was her best shot at getting out and getting away from The Beast. Hanging around the AI gang was hardly going to cut it, as was evident later on.

Just go back and read my previous posts on this threads to answer your questions, i dont want to repeat myself anymore. And Lilah was Evil? Angel is evil to the maximun so is Spike, and dont mess with wesley's stuff or he'll put a bullet in you

Indeed they were, but they sought redemption; something that Lilah never had any interest in. Lilah was proud of her allegiance, she never had any intention of changing it. I personally think she's a more compelling character for it, but morally gray? No.

I have read your posts and I still haven't seen an answer that isn't a huge leap from 'Wesley dumped Lilah' to 'Lilah gets killed' with any evidence as a basis for the claim.

Look, we've swerved way off topic now and while I'm happy to have a debate/discussion, I'm not interested in this turning into an argument and I sense the tone shifting that way... so let's just leave it okay?

Its not easy to make a definitive choice, but I suppose my favorite death would be Lindsay McDonald only because I never saw it coming, I loved Lindsey, and it was sad to see it happen, but such a great scene. My absolute saddest were Wesley and Tara. Mainly because they are my favorite characters but additionally Tara had grown so much and had lots of character potential for the remainder of the series, and I think she had a personality that would fit in with the cast of Angel if they had spun her off after Buffy. Wesley's death was so tragic because of the tragic life he had led, the engulfing depression he was in because of Fred's untimely death and also because of the circumstances of dying while attacking the black thorn, the final act of heroic defiance of Angel investigations and of Wes himself. Wesley's death was also quite brutal, bloody ,and quite painful, hard to watch. It was, along with Tara's, perhaps the most realistic death scene. After all the vampires and demons he is stabbed to death brutally. Significant honorable mentions go to Fred, Cordy, Doyle, Lilah, and Jenny... oh and Anya, Holland and Joyce ... Oh and Jonathan and Warren ....... Oh, lets face it they were all great. 

I hadn't realized until now how many death we actually have to choose from. Actually, all of my favorite characters aside from Faith died.

My favorite death would be Buffy in the Gift, it was a great conclusion to the slayer line.

Most tragic death, probably Wesley. He's the definition of a tragedy. Thetopher explained it well, by the end of it, Wes literally had nothing to live for. He was slowly dying away, and it started years before his actual death.

The death that made me the saddest, probably Tara's. I was so shocked when it happened. On Angel it would be Doyle.

There's just so many unfair, and sad death on the two shows, it's hard saying which one was the hardest. Every death felt like a punch to the gut, but it also made for some of the best episodes ever filmed, like the Body.

I totally forgot about Buffy, I need to edit my post lol

Wesley's life/death was the most tragic, all circumstances building (declining) toward death considered. I can't add anything to the excellent posts that came before me. I admire Wesley but I do not envy him.

Joyce's death had the most profound and immediate impact on me. The body felt real, it felt unfiltered and shocking in its absurdity. That's the word for it: absurd, the way the existentialists talk about it. It is a point of departure for an existential assessment of the brevity of life, the shock of sudden death, the picking up of the pieces afterwards...the absurdity of this very fleeting thing we call our life (as well as more distantly related issues like the nature of responsibility and freedom in the face of an absurd world). Powerful death and episode on a gut level. An insider view into the trauma and bewilderment and numb shock that death causes on those left behind.

Doyle's death was the first one that really got me bad, despite the fact that he had not been around that long. It set up the rest of the series and I just loved him.

Joyce's death hands down when it happened broke me. It was my own greatest fear and having now gone through it I simply can't watch it. It is one of the best hour of television for a reason, it is real and it cuts.

Agree about Doyle
