Context Trivia / AngelS05E22NotFadeAway

1* CreatorBacklash: Creator/ChristianKane was unhappy with how Lindsey ended up, feeling it was too sudden. Although he attributes that to not expecting the series to be cancelled.
2* EnforcedMethodActing: The last scenes to be shot were Wesley's death, and the ending scene in the alleyway - all so the cast would be suitably emotional by that time.
3* HeyItsThatPlace: The ending happens in the same alleyway where Angel fought Faith in "[[Recap/AngelS01E18FiveByFive Five By Five]]".
4* KilledByRequest: Creator/AlexisDenisof was asked what he would like them to do with Wesley, so he suggested he be killed off. WordOfGod is that Wesley would have lived had the show continued.
5* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Downplayed, but all of Lindsey's scenes were written and shot a month before the episode officially entered production (due to Christian Kane having a scheduling conflict). This likely accounts for Lindsey only having 4 scenes and limited on-on-one interactions (with Angel, Eve, and Lorne respectively).
6* TrollingCreator: Creator/JossWhedon jokingly discussed the final battle in ''SFX Magazine'':
7-->Gunn is dead. Illyria keeps fighting. Angel loses an arm. Spike gets Shanshu. And Xander loses another eye, which is funny, because he isn’t even there.
8* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/SarahMichelleGellar offered to make a guest appearance, but was turned down due to the producers not wanting Buffy to overshadow the rest of the cast.
