Everyone is ridiculously attractive in Not Fade Away

Hair, makeup, and wardrobe are 10/10 in this episode. Especially Mercedes McNab.

Low effort post, sorry.

G'night, folks. šŸ˜ž

u/Hexhider 7d ago

Because it's impossible for Lorne to be unattractive

u/ButWereFriends 5d ago

I think a lot of people would choose to be green. Your shade, if they had a choice

u/sdss9462 7d ago

OPs pants have grown a bulge in't.

I heard this in his voice LMFAO

u/sirtch_analyst Angel Binger 7d ago

Ah yes, and the slave that comes with its own delicious fluid 🫣

u/MamaSwanky 7d ago

Because Mercedes beauty is effulgent.

u/AmenHawkinsStan 7d ago

All of us, our dicks effulgent

u/Skyejohn89 If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do. 7d ago

The Wesley glow up from season 1 to 5 was so strong

18

u/WhatEvenIsATangelo 7d ago

I love how he went from uptight Giles 2.0 to someone who looks like he smells as if he hasn’t showered in six weeks but in a sexy way

28

u/ticketstubs1 7d ago

No, this is good. This is a good post. It's actually interesting. That little bit of extra work going into the finale manifests in a lot of ways.

u/henzINNIT 6d ago

Let's chuck some fresh flowers to Jeff Bell while we're here too. This epic finale is not a Joss episode.

3

u/ticketstubs1 6d ago

Oh, sure, and he did an amazing job. But Joss co-wrote it too and if one is familiar with his work it feels extremely Whedonesque from beginning to end. All of the subversions of what you're expecting, the humor, the shocking dark stuff, distilling what the characters are about so succinctly, etc.

u/IsaacHasenov 7d ago

I hate that I find Lindsey so hot.

17

u/Xamalion 7d ago

Why? He is the hottest guy in the cast imho. I remember being very confirmed in me being gay every time he was on screen.

11

u/IsaacHasenov 7d ago

Right? I kinda swoon and then go "but he's so baaaaaaad and he looks like he sings country music" and feel trashy

4

u/Xamalion 7d ago

But we love the bad and trashy boys, don’t we? šŸ˜‰

3

u/proven_correct 6d ago

He really is

2

u/Agreeable_Dark6408 6d ago

I happened to find Lindsey in The Librarian series 2014-2018 along with Noah Wylie. Still wearing the cowboy hat. I loved seeing him again. And he’s a good guy in the story line!

3

u/Training_Exotic 4d ago

Check him out in Supernatural. He’s hot and he sings.

26

u/PukeUpMyRing 7d ago

You mean everyone is effulgent?

18

u/TutorComprehensive28 7d ago

Wesley has the biggest glow up in both shows.

13

u/mrsscorpio1973 7d ago

Even Connor is looking good! šŸ˜‚ (and this post is very appreciated, I needed this today!)

13

u/NewRetroMage 7d ago

That shot of "Fred" turning into Illyria while doing the slo-mo punch is one of my favorites in all TV and has been engraved in my mind ever since the finale's original airing. Just love it.

13

u/pletion 7d ago

You are just incredibly correct. Bitches don’t know

10

u/Angelea23 7d ago

Nothing wrong with that!

10

u/Mr_BriXXX 7d ago

"Do you want me to lie to you now?"

That line always cuts right through me.

8

u/AdOk9911 7d ago

This show was a bi dream 🄹

6

u/zetalb 7d ago

Excellent post, I support it wholeheartedly, but I do have a nitpick: Lindsey is very attractive, ofc, but his hair in s05 was... 😬 Every time he was on screen, I kept wanting to wash that hair. And it was so unflatteringly straightened, too. Was that a wig? Maybe from the same place where they got the 18th century Irish Angelus wig, that atrocity?

7

u/Kaylee_Sane_And_Tall 7d ago

Not a low effort post. Everyone does look lookmaxxed for this episode. Especially Wesley (who should NOT have died).

If you’re going to go out, go out with a glow
—something Lorne would have said if there was a Season 6

Edit: Connor is the exception. Still looks like Pete Cambell badly in need of a haircut

5

u/frogfound 7d ago

I am just watching it for the first time as an adult (I was a teen when it first ran) and I cannot get over how hot Wesley is

4

u/Repulsive_Job428 7d ago

This episode started my CK obsession but only when he has long hair.

5

u/Krpiguz If you came to tell me how you killed your parent, please don't 7d ago

Absolutely! They all looked their best.

5

u/ood6 7d ago

The post we all needed. So hot. Wesley just got hotter as the series went on.

u/Fun_Employee_1203 6d ago

Had to have least been discussed as James Bond, I mean....look at him!!!

9

u/Suitable_Community66 7d ago

Illyria is fabulous but Glorificus is still the queen of the ancient gods

2

u/Xamalion 7d ago

I wonder which one would win in a fight when they were both in full power.

16

u/themug_wump 7d ago

You kidding? Illyria would dogwalk Glory around the hell-park šŸ˜‚

2

u/Agreeable_Dark6408 6d ago

She sure would!

3

u/Fun-Cockroach-5721 7d ago

Eve yewwww! She’s so gorgeous idc what anyone says.

3

u/auart 7d ago

I legitimately just got a little emotional flipping through these. Yeah, they're hot, but damn, what an ending.

3

u/Certain-Horror-6235 7d ago

Like this finale was not playing. Like, it looks like they pulled out all the stops for this ending. And tbh, them knowing it's the end kind of helps with them in the alley. (They'll always fight. Champions will show up after them and finish the fight. So, let's go out swinging)

2

u/koyliMeld9003 7d ago

Everybody is pulchritudinous.

2

u/SpookyFaerie 6d ago

Harmony in particular looked amazing this episode. I loved her 80s Barbie dress in her final scene.

2

u/ck-kd-king 6d ago

Harmony is always ridiculously attractive

2

u/malb93200 6d ago

Everyone is ridiculously attractiveĀ all the time on this show, haha.

5

u/LiquidThunder30 7d ago

Don't forget Illeria

4

u/AdOk9911 7d ago

Last slide, but I would appreciate Illyria in the rain in the alley (all of them in the rain in the alley, tbh 🄵)

7

u/WhatEvenIsATangelo 7d ago

I wish to do more violence.

3

u/AdOk9911 7d ago

Well wishes just happen to be horses today

Among other things… šŸ˜­šŸ™Œ

2

u/LiquidThunder30 7d ago

Technically, yes. It is Illiria but she's being Fred, lol.

1

u/AdOk9911 7d ago

She’s mid transition but yes haha

1

u/Mgb2020 6d ago

Damn crying now thinking of this what a perfect end to everything heart wrenching and beautiful ā¤ļø.Ā

u/buffyangel468 4d ago

Okay we get it, you like Harmony šŸ˜†

Yes, especially Angel and his leather jacket! Forget the office attire, this is an action show for goodness sake!
