It's amazing how attached you can get to a character in just 9 episodes. What I like is that his character did have an impact. They gave him a lot of depth in the last few episodes especially considering how short a time he was around. You liked him, you cared about him, you rooted for him. And in the end although you cried and wished he could come back. You were happy that he had become the hero that he always saw in Angel. That he had attoned for whatever mistakes he had made. He was a good character and he made the world a better place.

I've been watching the first season of Angel - got the DVD box set as a pressie - hurrah

I hadn't seen all the first season before although I had seen Hero - but watching it now, having become so attached to Doyle over the last 9 eps its a real moment at the end when he sacrifces himself - but the kicker is that last reel - the awkward Doyle doing the video ad for Angel agency - its a real tear jerking moment anyway, made more so now that Glenn Quinn is no longer with us - very sad

Yes, the use of the tape for the commercial was very poignant..

Very good episode, and I, too, was sad to see Doyle die. But at least he went out a hero (hence the episode title), and he even made time to pass his visions onto Cordy. And I thought that the Nazi analogy was done pretty well, too.
