Do you mean to say you didn't like it before because the idea of the snow showing up as the "good" counterforce to the First Evil was just too white and black for you?
Partly, I think it's just sort of hokey. I generally don't like Deus ex Machinas of any sort... because I had assumed that probably wasn't the first time Angel was suicidal in that century. The idea that somebody is looking out for him and sends it, is sort of annoying. What saves it is the idea that it might not really mean anything more than what Angel himself is able to make of it afterward.
I like to have everything out there and dealt with, I didn't like how that--instead of words and explanations--resolved their issues.
And it would seem, to some extent, that they must have. But I don't begrudge you for thinking that is the sort of conversation that should happen on camera rather than off camera - which is my sense of the episode.
