Actually that prophecy was proven to be a false one meant to harm Angel. wasn’t it?
Or am I just being stupid.
Oh god I can already tell I’m just going to overload my brain with confusion trying to figure this out.
That’s what I thought, originally — that it was a false prophecy created to ensnare Angel in a trap and lose his son. But I was watching Home with Tim Minear’s commentary on, and when Angel’s fighting Connor in the penultimate scene and it cuts to white (implying that he killed him), and this is what he said:
“Angel comes down with the knife, and the prophecy is fulfilled. “The father will kill the son.” And nothing’s really spelled out for you here, but you do understand by the end of the episode that when Angel said to Lilah, “I’m going to tell you what the deal’s gonna be,” he struck some kind of bargain, and there’s some kind of blood magic going on here — because as we will discover, Connor is, in fact, not dead. Well, old Connor is dead.”
So maybe he means the prophecy is “fufilled” in a storytelling sense, rather than a literal one?
Both are correct. Sahjahn had a hand in writing that prophecy That stated “the father killed the son” to replace the one that says “Connor Kills Sahjahn”. Ultimately Sahjahn’s meddling was directly responsible for Connor growing up in a hell dimension so he could come back as a gangly teen and get his Seed in Cordy, thus bringing Jasmine forward (Sahjahn for all intents and purposes was an unwitting pawn and had no knowledge of Jasmine).
WHY DO I REMEMBER THESE THINGS!?
