Like most fans, i was sad when the show (Angel) was cancelled and also a bit disappointed that Connor's character didn't get that much exposure in the end. Connor is a character that the show could have explored more, especially after he got back from Quortoth (is that correct?). the idea of Angel having a son was great and there could have been a lot of great stories with the dynamics between father and son as backdrop. I've read a few fanfictions which could have been great as episodes... I hope i'm not the only one who liks Connor ^_^ and an Angel movie with Connor will be greatly appreciated.

I don't like Connor as a whole. The whole child suddenly getting aged has been done a lot in genre fiction, and it made me roll my eyes, the whole pregnancy in general was something I wasn't a fan of. And then he was just this annoying character for so long, I wanted to stab him. Though his final two appearances were done well, and I think over time he could have been a character I would have liked.

Connor's character did have some great demensions that could very well have been explored. I think a show about him with him as the main character would be great. I enjoyed Connor's niavete and innocense yet the warrior was so sexy as well. He was a great actor and I have seen him in other things since. I know that Dave/Angel has said that he would not do anymore so I think Connor is the one to take the banner and run with it.

I loved Connor, and my heart broke for him. Even when he was acting horribly, it was out of panic and fear. He was a terrified little boy in a grown man's body, and the sacrifices he made for Connor were a major turning point for Angel. He finally learned to love completely selflessly when he let Connor go and have a normal life.

I did actually like Connor despite the fact he was potrayed as a little brat. Lets be fair people, he was brought up in a hell dimension and brainwashed against Angel by Angel's arch enemy! It would have been weird if he didn't have issues! I think it was a shame that we didn;t see him and Angel get past all the problems and work together in the end. But then I found the ending dissapointing anyway. I don;t know how they could have tied it up effectively, but leaving it so open-ended was a shock. It's a shame to me the programme finished anyway! x

I didn't really like Conner. But then again, I don't really like it when shows just inject a surprise pregnancy into the series so I guess I was already biased against the idea. Pregnancy's happening in tv shows usually happens when they are running out of ideas. I kind of lost interest in Angel for a while when Connor was on, especially in conjunction with the whole Jasmine storyline. It just got boring. It picked up again afterwards though and it especially picked up in Season 5 when Spike joined! Vincent Kartheiser did a good job with the role though. He played the bratty kid very well.
