Why was Lindsey killed in the final episode?

I was really confused with this one. Lorne says hes not part of the solution, but I thought he was really coming around to the good side. He even said he felt like he was part of the team. If you can give me some clarity please do.

I think Lorne just lost it, finally. It was implied that Angel asked him to kill Lidnsey, yes? I just finshed the show, and I'm sure I need to watch 5 again...to clarify some stuff.

I have really mixed feelings about the final episode. It disturbed me what Lorne did, of course...but more so, the final scene. What a cliff-hanger! Geez. I was beside myself, thinking Gunn died...And Wesley? I'm confused. It was obvious he died...Illyria said he was dead...and then he reappears in the comic?? Huh?

I was wondering what others honestly think about the final ep, or thoughts on the show ending in general. ..

Not only that, but killing Lindsey at that point was just plain stupid. At a time when Angel knows, not just believes, but KNOWS that the Senior Partners are gonna throw everything that they can lay their hands on at him for destroying the Circle Of The Black Thorn, he choses to murder 20% of his force just because of something that Lindsey might do in the future. That's not just lame, it's stupid and downright suicidal. If they survived the battle, Angel could have wasted Lindsey at his leisure.

I do not think it was a 'future' plan though; I think it was very much then. Lindsey was not so much about right or wrong but power, and he had proven time and again that he would do whatever it took to get it. He joined Angel with a promise that win or lose, he would be running Wolfram & Hart. With the Black Thorn gone, the firm had no 'inside man' ergo that would have been Lindsey.

The moment the Black Thorn was gone, Lindsey had to be gone as well. It was about removing the Senior Partners' connection to the world. Lindsay was a big part of that connection as, for a time at least, he was their chosen one.

Any battle that took place, Lindsay would not have been on their side. They (meaning team angel) were at that point powerless, and Lindsey followed the power.

As for Lindsey's final scene - I found it completely characteristic of Lindsey to be geniunely upset, not that he was dying, but that Angel wasn't the one that took him out.

Lindsey always viewed himself as Angel's foil. It was insulting and humiliating that a lackey would finish him off. Lackeys don't kill the arch-enemy. If Angel would have killed him, Lindsey would have been 'important' but having the weakest one of the bunch do it, shows that Lindsy wasn't worth wasting real manpower over. It was an insult, pure and simple. Like when Angel tagged his truck with "cops suck" sign before he left town.

I don't know. It really shocked me. I felt it was unnessesary...who knows.
 
Ironically since Angel most likely put Lorne up to it Angel did in fact "kill" Lindsay. What I dont like about this was Lindsay was mortal. This is murder people, not just the slayage of a demon and I dont like it one bit.
 
Lindsey was kinda evil. He cant really complain about what happened can he? He put himself in that situation.
