Wesley and Fred 'So I shot him.'

Angel: Lineage 5x07

Wesley Wyndam-Pryce is one of my favorite Buffyverse characters. With one of the best evolutions I have ever known and adored.

for a character to go from someone as low as Wesley was in Buffy to be as heroic and dark as he was in Angel is a testament to Alexis acting chops.

[asmartistenthusiast]

I love that he didn't hesitate to save fred.

It's now 2020 and I'm yet to see a character anywhere near as good as Wesley.

Wesley and Illyria/Winifred will remain my favorite couple of all time. The scene between them in the final episode of the series was so good... Even those on the set were crying.

[adammclaughlin]

Number one trope of all time: someone about to say something important but all they manage is "I -" before they're interrupted.

For me, the Realest and Truest aspect to that scene where Wesley absolutely *believes* that he is executing his own father for having ruined his life and now going beyond that to threaten the people he loves and the person he loves most in The World is what he does immediacy after he just has — he immediately walks slowly over to the corner with his back turned, vomits, straightens back up, and after needing only a few short moments to regain his poise and composure to pull himself together, he is more or less just about completely *fine* ...

I love badass Wesley. He's one of my favorite characters. His father threatened Fred. So he didn't hesitate one second. Right on. I'd do the same if someone pointed a gun at the woman I love.

I still can't believe Alexis Denisof is actually American.

[gabrielmurray]

Both shows how much he's grown an how much he loves Fred.

After all of this time, I still hate that f.ing Nox and consider Fred/Wesley one of the best love story ever conceived.

Wesley: I...I feel guily cause I wanted to kill my dad."

[cabahab]

Think that was the moment fred saw wesley finally 💞💞💞💞

[katelyntaylor]

Love love LOVE this scene! Wish we could've gotten more of Wes and Fred together. The fact that he didn't hesitate for a second to shoot his father when Fred was in danger, just, wow

Is it just me, or is being fired the best thing that can happen to a watcher? Giles got fired from the Watcher's Council in season 3 of Buffy and from then on you see Giles at his most badass. Wes got fired, also season 3 of Buffy, and you see him get more and more badass after that happens, when he shows up on Angel. Like, being fired was the best thing that could have happened to either watcher. They both got harder and tougher and better for it.

[peridaniel]

wow I really wish knox didn't exist

[belgarion]

I don't even know why they bothered makiing him a machine. Reduce the impact of the scene, never get used later. Living with this would have been another of Wesley's burdens and he wears them so fine...

Wesley’s arc was the best in the Buffyverse, and with characters like Spike, Willow, Connor and Faith that’s saying a lot. Maybe if Firefly had continued we would’ve seen a more compelling arc but I doubt it. Incidentally go back and watch episodes written by either Tim
Minear, Mere Smith or Steven DeKnight and watch Alexis’ performances. All three of those writers excelled at writing Wesley.

[Stuart]

Hard to believe but it was this Season Denisof (Wesley) suffered a Bell's Palsy attack during filming paralysing the left side of his face.

[ame]

Oh my God! Who's that intruder?!!!!

[michaelschweigart]

Why did they hafta kill off Fred and Cordy😡🤬

[sherronnelson]

I 🧢 the writers of this show when it took forever for Fred and Wesley to be together for she died one episode later!!!!
