Was the Cranky Hamburger Lying?

There's another possibility. "The vampire will devour his child" might no more HAVE to refer to Angel than the Shanshu does. Granted, Angel was the first vampire to father a child (at least, we're led to believe that) but who's to say he's the last? Maybe the entire prophecy thing referred to some entirely different vampire and son. For that matter, it might be something so simple as a father and son both being turned at the same time, then having some sort of fight that results in the son being devoured. My point is, the prophecy could be gospel true, but refer to a completely different father and son.
 
Unrevealed Revelations

Wouldn't they have revealed that sometime? I guess the writers love having us think like this lol.

They never revealed that Angel and Andrew were secretly lovers, that Wesley was adopted, that Fred's real father was the Immortal, that Buffy was really half of a set of identical twins whose sister was abducted by aliens, or that Giles was a member of the Communist Party, either, but if they needed any of those things for a plot line...

Communist party? Lol. Yeah they also never revealed that Faith and Buffy used to be secret lovers, particularly during Season 3 of Buffy... Though there were plenty of hints.

'The Father will Kill the Son' wasn't it?

Although I understand what you are saying, I was of the belief that the prophecy came true, just not how expected. Sahjahn altered it to fit his plan but the prophesy was actually refering to the end of season 4. I don't think the mindwipe was what the prophecy meant, I think Angel actually killed Connor for the swipe to take place.

If that is the case, Sahjahn manipulated the prophesy to help him which in turn set about the actual prophecy so on a technicality Sahjahn manipulated a prophecy he actually set into motion.
 
I think I get it now somewhat, because Angel did devour his son in terms of drinking his blood, and this did happen after the signs Wesley saw with the earthquake.
 
Yeah I'd say that is a legitimate way of looking at it. Technically the Loa didn't lie because devouring isn't the same as killing so what he said did technically happen, however it was pretty clear what Wes meant so while he didn't lie, he did deliberately misguide him (or of course was mistaken). It's possible Sahjhan set it up or maybe the Loa was in league with Jasmine and she was kind of on a schedule.
 
I think I got it. When I read this thread, I was like "oh, right... how come the loamburger say that ?". Besides, I watched this very morning the eps for the very first time (please don't spoil me while answering me ^^).

Angel did "devour" his child, since because of Lilah's blood-stealing, he drank a bit of Connor's blood while drinking his usual pig's blood which was mixed up with the blood from the doctor's office.

It all adds up, I guess. Don't you think ?

Oh, I'm so stupid, I didn't read Alexa's post and was all proud of my "discovery". I'm sorry.
