Their death card seems to be rather literal, when in the classic tarot death is not literal death, it's transformation - that can but does not necessarily include a death. So basically they literalized the cards, which is ok if you just want to look at pretty cards.

Basically, yes. I heard rumor that they didn't finish because apparently tarots are a religious matter or something? I don't know if I'm right. I remember this pseudo-explanation and nothing else.

When I saw S8 I felt bad for Angel/Bangel fans because if I were an Angel fan I'd be FURIOUS about the spacefrak. (I already was as a Buffy fan) but I guess - not so much? How anyone can see that debacle as "confirmation of their ship", I have no idea.

Agreed. As far as I know, some Bangels thought that the sex was the confirmation of Buffy/Angel's forever love. So ... I guess they are happy with the whole spacefrak? I don't know. I just knew some fanatical Bangels and I don't even want to try to understand how their brain works. No, thanks. Personally I was skeptic from the first panel of Angel/Buffy reunion, but I know that they were celebrating. In the end, some of us got what they deserve.

(I knew I shouldn't get rid of the "Me dating Warren in the comics?" icon just yet. Never know when you're gonna have to pull it out!)

It's a meaningful and useful icon.
