Wooo, nice conclusion to this arc. I liked seeing it through Angel's eyes, how he viewed various members of his clan, and how especially he viewed Xander. I love the picture of Xander you presented here - all grown up (kind of) and leading an army (sort of). He's really grown a lot since the beginning of this, and it was fun coming along for the ride. I can't wait for the next arc!

And the scene with Faith and Angel was really touching. I feel so bad for her, but I'm glad that she's at least kind of starting to heal.

And the idea of Spike training soldiers makes me LOL so so much. It's a wonder anyone survives him and his brand of humor except Faith.

And I'm calling for a scene or two of Angel/Xander/Spike in the next arc, if only because I want to see this highly michevious and rambunctious Spike in bed and traumatizing Xander. ;)
