‘Angel’ Series Finale 15th Anniversary: David Boreanaz Reveals How That Final Fight Played Out

- This Sunday marks a very important milestone in TV history. And no, we’re not talking about the “Game of Thrones” series finale, but the 15th anniversary of the “Angel” series finale.
And in honor of it, TheWrap asked star David Boreanaz to look back on the closing moments of the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” spinoff’s final episode, “Not Fade Away,” and to tell us what he thinks of that big cliffhanger a decade and a half later.
“I’ve always thought it ended great,” the “SEAL Team” star told us. “I mean, even when it was written and we shot it, I had no problems with it. I think that’s great. I mean, I think that that’s a world that had opened up to a lot of people - the way our show, the way ‘Angel’ ended was I think right. You kind of go out continuously fighting, you know? And I think that the message of the show was always about the fight and that was a special moment.”

You know he's one of the few TV actors that I can think of that doesn't seem to have made a misstep in his career. Pretty much every series he's done has been successful. That's pretty impressive when you think about it.
Agreed! I believe he's spent the past 25 years starring in 4 successful television series. That's quite the achievement!
we don't talk about Valentine...

One of the greatest supernatural shows of all times. I watched Angel along with Charmed every morning waking up at 5am from 5th grade until graduation. I still rewatch Angel annually because of the beautiful lesson to always fight for what's right. Though I hated the show ended... how poetic it was to see them fighting to the end. ❤
Loved those shows and Supernatural and now that ended after lasting for a long time
Just rewatched Angel too, cried a couple of times over the last episode and then my face became numb and unimpressed at the very end. No I dont feel the ending at All. But as you say poetic.. I guess 😂😅
OMG meeee tooooo!!! They could trade out Charmed for Angel at this point but Instill watch every morning and it’s been like over 20 years
Me to wait. Did u watch it in the Caribbean.? That’s the time it played for me bck home good memories
They continued the story after the final fight in the Angel comics and with the comic series Angel: After the Fall. Worthy successor to the series storyline, continuation went for 11 years (2007-2018).
Thanks for this it was a great series to have it end. Now I got some reading to do.
I read that and I also read 'Season 8' of Buffy. I was hugely disappointed by the Buffy comic, but I thought 'Angel: After the Fall' was really well done. Fantastic and fun!
Angel and his friends did survive.
Angel series finale is one of my favourites but I understand why at the time people were upset about it
It's hard for some people to undersrand what it actually meant. Those who didn't get the core message of the show, wouldn't have got it
The ending was not bad by any means but everybody wanted it to continue. I also thought Dark-Angel ended way to fast.
It pissed me off at first, especially when I first saw it as a teenager, but I love it as an adult.
@@3lancerofficialmaybe871 It ended when I was 19 but didn't see it until I was 32. I saw a couple episodes when it aired
Yep have to buy the comic book Novel to finished it
I enjoyed that season so much. I hated seeing characters die but it was always about still pushing forward for the greater good. The show had a good message and gave us something amazing to go back to.
Best show ever
i love Angel so much. hope we can see Angel as a film
They do survive in the comics. As far as the entire Buffyverse, I’m happy they’re not making anything. Those two shows were special to me and millions of fans that I’d hate to see a continuation not live up to expectations. I’d love to see a mature animated series that way all the actors can provide their voices and still look like they did back then.
We need this show to continue
I miss angel
I have all seasons on dvd from angel and buffy original
put them on telegram!!!!
The ending was so unsatisfying… I finished the episode yesterday and was like ‘oh that’s the last episode’.
Had me on the edge of my seat them final 2 episodes..cos you could see where it was heading. What a roller-coaster of a ride from start to finish!....That final scene near the Hyperion..in the alleyway..and the senior-partners had unleashed all the captured nasty's from the bowels of Wolfram & Hart..as well as opened up portals to unleash a portion of they had against our remaining heroes. Wesley (tear-jerkily taken out) Gunn..fading fast from a severe mortal injury..Only Angel..Spike & Illyria remained. I'm glad Spike returned for the final battle. I remember it 1st time round and it cut off before the clash..and I was like ~ "ARRRRGH! NO!!...." I WANT MORRRRE!!....In my mind for years, I'd have liked to think they only thought they would be taken out..and that if (and I really hoped for years) that there was a continuation leaving right off where we left them in the alleyway..that they somehow..(after a pitched battle..and thorough pasting) that they fled/retreated and set-off for reinforcements in Italy to get some "Slayer Help" from Buffy & Faith..and to explain-away the slight aging they could have shown some sort of energy-life-force-drainer bounce of Spike & Angel before they fled. And although James Marsters in recent-past interviews when asked of a possible continuation/return with the surviving co-stars..he was up for it..however..said Joss Whedon had better get his skates on as he wasn't getting any younger..and there was only so long you could get away with playing an immortal vampire..He's currently 57 going on 58..so I don't know how he'd get away with it now..frustrating as it is. I miss the Buffy/Angel days..nothing's come close..unless you count the first 4 seasons of HEROES..(not reborn though, that was toilet)....0:50 I'm glad Dave had wanted it to be a surviving-fight..etc. In the Buffy interview..or another Angel interview/reunion..James Marsters commented and reckons "realistically" it was a "Suicide Fight To The Death"..and Joss years ago in an interview says..wether they did or not, its up to the fans..but in reality..no one can truly beat these type of powers..i.e. Wolfram & Hart..they're a bit like "The First"..they'l always exist continuing mans inhumanity towards man. I always pictured W&H like a government..they run everything because we allow it..and because of that, they can't be beat. Good & Evil are the same power..it just depends how/who wields it....
1st off, it's not a suicide mission.
I understand you are foolish enough to look to Joss Whedon who was dumb enough to get his show canceled.
That's not really your fault.
Whedon is trying desperately not to look like a failure, caude his show was canned, and selling lies to you.
It was written as a season finale.
Joss (and cowritter Jeff Bell) never planned the show to end here.
2nd, yes, it is highly up to us what we believe happens after. There various fanfiction stories about it. Including my own.
3rd, the notion that they need slayer help is insulting. The slayers showed over the course of season 5 that they are not allies.
4th, I agree that Wolfram & Hart is much like the government of today. And I highly relate that speech Angel gave at the end of episode 109 Power Play....that we can't stop them but for a moment to show them they don't own us.
5th, if interested check out my fanfiction continuation. What happens next and how it unfolds may surprise you.

Just get David Boreanaz and James Marsters together and do some banter as Angel and Spike and I'm sold 😁
Ha! She knows her shit. 15th anniversary of the ending :)
The comics of angel by dark horse continue the stories for buffy and angel
Lmao!! She got him all the way together at the beginning.
LOOOL 💅🏾 sis was like ✋🏽
I used to be sooooo in love with him
I love endings were it's left up to the viewers interpretation.
I like that too.
But I'm also for closure.
I'm also against TV shows getting unfairly canceled. To which this was given a season finale not planned as a series finale.
Season 5 was a cliffhanger
Best finale ever, precisely because they all continue to fight until the very end, no matter that the odds are against them.
For the record I was unhappy with the way Conner was portrayed on Angel. The only time he was the way he should have been was in the final episode where he was a fine young man. I wish he had been that way from the beginning. Maybe even a decent crossover on Buffy.
that annoyed me so much! it made me so mad that he couldn’t just have grown up with angel and how he never truely liked or trusted angel before the last season, ALTHOUGH a lot wouldn’t have happened without all of it. and i like how he got his memories back but not much happened after and he just accepted it. that gave good closure to it i think.
They should continue the series on tv. Effects now would be awesome. After the fall live version.
Would love a Angel Movie with everyone on board, a story that takes place right after season 5 finale? Angel, Spike, Wesley, Illyria/Fred, Gunn, Conner, Cordelia, with Buffy, Faith, Willow, Giles, Dawn, Andrew, Xander and the rest of the Slayers.
Oh what I would give to see something so that they could fix what they did to Cordelia. And now that what a lot of us suspected has recently come to surface, I’d like to see it happen more than ever. And it’s quite an easy fix. As Lilia told us in the season 4 finale, Wolfram and Heart had Cordelia at their hospital while she was in the coma. Angel got the call about her from their hospital. Here’s the fix.... the lied.
I'd be kinda down to watch... after the Fall Angel, Spike, Gunn, and Fred all hunt down thw buffy group for not wanting to help them
@@shiestyrecords3225, lol, really?
That sounds like hunting the guilty rather than helping the helpless.
I'm not a fan of the comics.
@@CurlyFromTheSwirly both equally are bad
@@shiestyrecords3225 both?? 🤷♂️
dam man just watched season 5 God dam its awesome
I’m a comic book writer and eventually will turn it into a show and hoping that I can bring David back as Angel for a cameo in an episode. I’m hoping he will still be alive.
The ending was cool, but I wanted it to continue on if they survived or if Angel ever became human? When I was in high school it left me confused whether or not if they won
Check comics! It continues sl!
We need an angel reboot please
No.
@@yardknight4953 smd
Only with the original cast & crew! Idc their age! ONLY THE ORIGINALS!!!
@@cruesteele15 that's what I'm saying they all look fairly good still I think it would work ..everyone will start watching Angel binge the first five seasons to jumpstart the name and fame again
@@angeltherealalpha6057 nope they would ruin it with woke shi.t
DUUUUUDEEEEE THERE IS A COMIC!!!! i dont blame him after bone he shure doesnt care that much about angel
I know. Why would he care for something if there is nothing in it for him.
there was supposed to be a season 6, and you guys know it!! finishing it on a graphic novel is not the same!! we really didn't get to see what happened with everybody, so not fair of the network, all they care about is money, how do they expect to keep their audience when they do stupid crap like that????
I think the ending was great and perfect even if that was not the intentions of where it would end re watching the episode i now know that was the perfect way to end it
If it hadn't been cancelled then it may have had a somewhat different ending, but thematically it probably would've been the same; it was the right way for the show to go out imo.
As,I and some others said after the cancellation, boycott the WB.
I never watched anything on their network again.
Why is she whispering. She act like she is going to get in trouble to raise her voice.
This guy is so cool 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My headcanon is that they died. That was the whole point, redemption through death - the fight against evil would one day consume them, because evil itself is a force of nature, it just "is". I absolutely refuse to read the comic continuation, the plot sounds absurd.
After The Fall was good. The Angel Comics considered non-canon after were fine imo. Once it got to Angel and Faith, they lost the plot.
Want more of eve where she go? 😻😘😍 Angel would have won they had the numbers
I always thought as she left the building she was attacked by Harmony and made into a vampire.
I was like where were the slayers, the vamp hunters, and good demons Team Angel befriended each season?
He should have read the comic series after the fall. Angle was boss
she's smokin
Does Angel turn human now or in the future now that he signed his name on the scroll???? Or is he forever human???
@At Me I assumed it was a bs prophecy written by Wolfram & Hart to keep Angel in line like how that one time traveling demon did to alter prophecies to make certain outcomes possible.
Best final episode of tv ever. As episodes go just behind waiting in the wings.
Finally got all the remastered episodes
This was not meant to be the end it got cancelled after they filmed it so saying that bit was meant to end like this is bullshit
I don't know. Gunn about to die and three of them left together with an open end like that, it looks to me as if this was not meant to be the end, but that is just me.
Well, it was never intended to be the series finale. The show was canceled, and they chose not to change much.
If I remember from what I read in 2004, they decided to kill Lindsey and Wesley. Gunn was rumored to die....
However, speaking to J August Richards on Twitter last year, he told me there was nothing set as to if Gunn lived or died.
In other words, his contract was up and he probably could have chose to come back or do something else.
As to who lives or dies and how this pans out....I have it written out.

Really is a suburb ending.
angel season 6
No way they survived without help. Maybe those army of Slayers showed up
they had unexpected allies in comics
It played out by Angel getting owned by the beasts. Buffy took out the original evil and captain forehead cant even take out a few demons
Im sure he mentions it here, but the final fight and lots more plays out in the comics. Which are canon cuz whedon had a direct hand in the stories.
Ok the fact that he thinks the finale was great says a lot about him. That finale was a big FU to the fans.
I hated the ending
It wasn't the end, though. 🤷♀️ Just read the comics.
@@Cliohna the end of the show was the end for me
@@sylasshaw7529
Fair enough. Still not the end of the official story.
@@Cliohna, a,way to make money when we should be able to watch for free.
And also the comics are really glorified fanfiction.
@At Me,
Disney sucks
