Yes, I loved bad ass Wes as well. I think Wes and Faith had the best arcs in Angel. Then Angel went and stole his friends' memories and their fates. Once again Angel decided he knew best and screwed over those who trusted him.

I liked Wes/Lidah. I found them to be an interesting pair. Not to say I didn't like Wes with Fred. Her death and his both were the only ones that brought tears to my eyes on Angel.
