I think again...NFA was a total cop out, even moreso than Chosen. I think on a superficial level you kind of get that wow feeling, but I felt less satisfied with his suicide mission. Because when you think about why and what he did what he did it really is all moot. Basically you get Angel who is pissed off and taking numbers, a guy who has in all essence completely gone against everything he's ever stood for. Lost his self, lost his purpose. But he goes in with reckless abandon, not actually have a good plan, killing people innocent people in the process, and basically it's one last big fuck you before he dies, without actually considering the consequences of his actions, if it will really do any good at all...other than massacre the whole city. The more and more I think about it, the more and more I get angry, and I cannot accept this, and I also cannot accept the whole "Joss thinks it's not a cliffie" either. It's more of a slap in the face to me, whereas Chosen probably lacked in the execution department, I think the theme and Buffy's mission still held strong and true. Angel went down on...essentially on a giant hissy fit.
