Well then WE'RE practically related!

I bow at his feet, er, paws.
I'm happy that my admiration of him brought you out of the shadows. Hey, maybe that was his plan all along. He's obviously very wise.

It's a historic home museum, full of artifacts, designed by Jefferson so there are ties to two presidents. You should Google it sometime. And for any history buff that's ever in Kentucky, it's worth a visit.

Love it! And love that man.
And you made me snort, which I seldom do.

I was worried that they might go that route, and was relieved that they didn't. This was sort of a "Not Fade Away" in reverse, and I think they made the right choice.

I know! That made me so mad for so long. Keeping him out of the loop nearly caused him to lose his sanity! And once they let him in, look at what an asset he turned out to be.

Yes! Are you familiar with Farmington, the old family home in Louisville? Abe spent a summer there as a young man and his thank you letter to the family is on display. It's a lovely place to visit for the historically minded.

Details, details. Don't confuse me!
I liked Evil Lincoln's idea of hybrids, so I just slanted them mostly one way or another. That's what I'm sticking to in my mind. You should see the outfits I've created for them. I won't go into detail, but let's just say they include lederhosen and elements of the 60's Carnaby…

"…wearing your heart on your sleeve"…You hit the nail on the head.

Exactly. And thank you.

Okay, you all have to humor me one last(?) time because you know this show brings out my love of all things Angel…

Speaking of Wu's dry quips…I've said before that I love the way he delivers them with a cool, almost bored look on his face. But in this final episode, in the last line we got from him, that cool slipped a little. When Nick embraced him saying something like "You're okay!", Wu said "What, I wasn't?", and looked…

Damn, that doesn't even look real.
Or human.

I guess I wasn't around at that time as I've only been an AV Clubber for about two years. But I keep hearing these tales of your courage, bravery, leadership and perseverance. So, I want to thank you, too, because without your efforts I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the heck out of this forum for the last couple of…

I did! That's great. Thanks for the tip.

I thought it was wonderful that they were showing different languages and phrases, but by then my vision was blurring again (dratted allergies!), so I didn't make out much detail.
That was such a thoughtful touch. I hope whoever thought to do it hears from a lot of people that it was appreciated.

During the commercial break right after Monrosalee's death(s), as I was blotting my eyes with Kleenex in both hands, I started hearing the magical strains of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" from Led Zeppelin's first album. I thought for a second there that I was having an auditory hallucination. Then I saw it was a trailer…

I agree. I've really wanted to see him again, but if he'd been hurt or killed and if he'd made even the slightest little squeak or whimper I would've come undone.

Relatives of Bud's.

He did a lot of believable emoting in this finale, but I thought his quiet shock in that scene was especially effective. "Haunted" is a good word for it. His expression at that moment made me think of the term "the thousand yard stare" that I've heard war vets, especially Vietnam vets, use in films and documentaries.
