Let me see:

The world can't handle there being more than one empowered woman (possibly two) in it. Such a thing  throws the balance of the entire universe so out of whack that a sentient universe convinces a man to think for the poor little woman, lying to and manipulating her,  while the universe places her in what looks a lot like heat so as to 'birth' an apocalypse that has extreme mommy-issues. 

And the only way to stop this apocalypse is to strip another set of women of their magical powers.

What's wrong with this picture?

I feel rather sorry for how Angel has been reduced and re-written... and frequently drawn with bizarre ill-proportions.

Yeah, that...wasn't Angel.

*shakes head*

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion and all, but seriously, what a severe lack of understanding of who and what he was on the writers part. And I use the term "writing" loosely.

Characterization never played into it. They're simply metaphors acting as such with no motivation.

Apparently the method to the madness was to set up Fray. Why that was so damned important, I'll never know.

Yeah, I read that. It doesn't even really set Fray up either. Scythe is broken and the explanation for what happened doesn't match up. Also if it was so important, why did he even write that ending to Chosen?

*sigh* Even if that was his intent, I really don't know what the point of assassinating Buffy, Angel and Giles was.
