You're very welcome. I've actually come to enjoy AtS quite a lot over the past year or so, and I used to very much not care about the series - the first season had more or less bored me on first broadcast, although in review I've become quite fond of it. Angel's character seems, on some levels. that much more interesting to me from the idea that he isn't saved, and in fact willingly decides not to try for it... although given the way the Shanshu prophecy seemed to be set up, it's worth wondering if good intent or worthiness has anything to do with its fulfillment, or if that's just Angel's instinctual interpretation, based on his upbringing, complete with notions of good and evil and heaven and hell...
