It's Not Easy Being Green

Andy Hallett, a.k.a Lorne or The Host from Angel, died of heart failure last Sunday. He was 33.

Sad now :(

ITT Praising and extolling of Lorne's virtues.

    Actually the dude was kind of annoying when he was first introduced, and I was like "so where are they going with this whole thing"

    but then I liked him

    Yeah, definitely a poorly introduced, but superbly developed, character. I really liked that he maintained the pacifist mentality so well throughout the series.

    He will, indeed, be missed. Especially since he's likely the only member of Angel Investigations that survived that night, excepting ancient gods, of course.

    It really is. Glenn Quinn was the same age when he died.

    His resolution in the finale was the most depressing to me, because he had to break that pacifist code, even if it was just the one time

    and he walked away looking so broken and defeated that he had to do it

    It seemed to me he was more sad that Angel had sacrificed their friendship for that one thing, something Angel could have easily done himself. That, to me, was why he left. It was a way of saying, "everything we've been through, I do owe you, but this? You still don't get it." kind of thing.

    Just started rewatching Angel on DVD. My girlfriend started watching Buffy, which I'd never really watched, so I watched it with her. After the first season, I suggested we get the Angel DVDs, too, and watch them concurrently, since she'd never seen Angel. Fun times.

    yes but he died by virtue of his status as a tard so no one cared

    Buffy was entertaining, though at times its girl power shtick was laid on a little heavier than I liked

    I always preferred Angel

    I definitely preferred Angel, by leaps and bounds. It never seemed as campy as Buffy. It was more about someone who saw themselves as a bad person, trying to atone. That was a theme that spoke to me at the time, so I connected quite well with it.

    Connor was a tool. The only enjoyable Connor moment was when he checked out Faith and Cordy made a comment about him definitely being his father's son.

    I liked Fred. She was such a cute little dork.
