I had that feeling that it was too rushed also but they did about the best they could do with that.
The ending was great for Angel. All four of them are the "real" fighters of the group and that's how they knew they'd be going down someday. It leaves the TV movies a possibility, but it seemed like there would be no way they'd win that fight. You don't need to see them all die, you just need to know that they'll fight fearlessly till the end.
Supposedly, there are standalone TV movies that might happen next year:

First ANGEL TV Movie May Hit in September
Also, will we finally see Faith the Vampire Slayer? Tru Calling has supposedly not been picked up for a second season.
Scooper 'Daybill' returned with some news from the ANGEL front:
The WB is working on a new stand-alone telemovie, ANGEL, to air tentatively in September. The first two-hour pic is going to essentially launch the series as a sequence of films - different villain, different storyline, each one.
The first is going to tie-in with the events of the series final episode. The season ender is going to go out with a huge cliffhanger, and we'll have to wait till September to find out how it all ends.
Eliza Dushku is in talks to appear in the telemovies, as Faith, the vampire slayer. Her series TRU CALLING isn't going to be picked up for a second season, so I assume she jumped at it.
There's no titles for these Angel films yet, but all six - bi-monthly over a period of a year - will be something like ANGEL: OUTLAWED, or ANGEL: DOMINION. You get the pic.
What's interesting is, Joss Whedon's not going to have much to do with the first couple. He's apparently doing a movie for Universal. Wonder how that's going to go down with fans?
I guess that big truck - which i again saw last week driving around - did something to save this show.
How valid is this report? Well, Daybill hasn't failed us before, but September seems like too quick a turnaround for a tv movie, although not altogether impossible. It's possible that the first could be filmed after a short break, but I would think that the principal cast would want to get away from these characters for a while.
The finale Daybill speaks of also lines up with an April 17 report from our friends over at Spoiler Slayer, where they said that the series will likely end on a cliffhanger.
Joss Whedon's lack of involvement - I wouldn't be surprised. The movie Daybill speaks of is, of course, the film version of FIREFLY, which is being fasttracked at Universal. However, if these movies go forward, I have no doubt that some of the ANGEL/Mutant Enemy regulars will return.
