"But for AI to end up in the darkest place, all those dreams have to die, and that was what Fred was to the story."
Angel lost all his friends in S5. Including Buffy. He really was left alone. So, how does he get his dreams back? Be his own person, instead of the 'hero'everyone sees him as?
I read an interesting article in AARP magazine (for people over 50 - yes, I'm old) about how for many there is a 'midlife' crisis which is actually very liberating and people get back to the dreams of their youth. Dreams they had set aside to raise kids, make a living, etc. A reassessment of their life goals.
I think Angel was finding his way to actually 'being' who he was meant to be. I wonder how much darker he would've become before emerging on the other side.
