Not too smart. Now I guess they'lll fill that timeslot with more entertainment aimed at "the urban audience".

That's okay. They're just clearing room in the genre neighborhood for the in-production Highlander miniseries, which will hopefully lead to a new TV series.

Gods..... no. How many formulatic episodes with one flashback, two duels and one bad-guy biting the dust-with cheesy "quickening effects" can one endure?

MacKenzie ... ? Well, at least they're not postulating a THIRD Immortal from the Clan MacLeod ... (unless you count Quentin, or, at a stretch, Kell). I'm looking forward to it!
Jason: interesting fact, but Highlander averaged only one Quickening (excluding f/b's) per two episodes ... at least for the first four seasons or so.

That's still at least a hundred dead immortals Duncan kills with no noticible gain in ability or "power".
I'd like to see them adapt Quinten's story to live-action TV (more violence and grit would neeed to be added, obviously). Anything to get away from the formula.

Not over the course of the series, Jason, although you could argue (and I think Endgame supports this) that he's killed over 100 Immortals in his lifetime.

UPN doesn't have enough money to pick up Angel. They barely have enough money to keep Enterprise going.
SciFi most likely wouldn't pick it up. They just picked up Andromeda. They have the new Stargate series coming, the end of the old series, and I beleive they are working on the Battlestar Galactica series. They alread stand to lose too much money.
The best hope for a different network to pick it up would be either TNT or F/X.
As for the WB keeping it, I seriously doubt that's going to happen. It's been on the bubble for a couple of seasons now, and the WB would rather put out useless trash like Charmed and Smallville. Not to mention loads of half hour sitcom tripe and rehashed teen soaps like One Tree Hill.
If you're really looking to try to get this show saved, come to RenewAngel.com. We have some ears pretty high up and if anything at all can be done, it will be. We've already started the effort to save this show, and more people are joining us everyday.

Come on, Angel isn't the type of show The WB wants. They want Everwood, One Tree Hill, Gilmore Girls.... Smallville is okay, aside from Angel it's the only other show on The WB I watch. I don't know too much about how this season is going, but I wish they would do one final season devoted to the end of Angel. The whole season would set it up as if it were one big story instead of finding out half-way through this season.
Besides, how long could it possibly go, actors playing age-less vampires. James Marsters is 41 years old, eventually makeup won't be able to cover up his age. The difference between this and Data, they could have always said Data created some sort of aging subroutine to make him age like a human.
Don't get me wrong, I love Angel. I plan to buy season 3 on DVD since I only got to see half of it before joining the Navy. I've seen a couple episodes this season, one in which Lindsey returned calling himself Doyle and pretending to have visions for Spike.
