"Forgiving" was one of the very first episodes of Angel that I had watched and it made me fall in love with the show. ana8, Wes didn't *deserve* it. It's something that's always happening in the Buffyverse; Buffy had to kill Angel to save the world, Giles had to kill Ben to keep Glory from coming back, Angel had to return his humanity for Good, and the blood of the Key must stop flowing in "The Gift." Wesley did what he thought was right and meant for Connor to be save. Sure, he could've maybe told Angel about it, but he was torn with guilt for betraying his friend...
This thread was started as a question, but suddenly it's turned into a discussion, lol. Is this technically off-topic?
