I'm sorry, I didn't quite hear you the first time. What's this about Angel?
Also I think Michael's plea for his friends to stay will be more justified if we don't see pegs, datu, hope and kelly anymore. Right now, we can think, oh how could he be so selfish, but say one of those characters were your favorite, and this was the end of their part in the WA story, sooner or later you'll start wishing they'd come back or that they'd never left.
I can totally see this being the end of the road for those characters just because their goal was to survive long enough to find permanent safety and shelter and be rescued, and here it is. They have everything they need. Their character arcs have started, and finished. Kelly started out as a bitch who didn't want to do anything and took everything for granted, and then she lost Tommy and we saw her get through that death and become a hardened survivor. Pegs started out as a meek flower girl who was always being pushed around and by the end of her story, she'd gotten stronger and could do what's necessary to survive, but at the same time she held on to her convictions and beliefs of only using violence when absolutely necessary. Datu was always useful, but he went through a terrible ordeal at the arena, and worked through the survivors guilt and the loss, and finally found hope in Hope.
These characters were great. There may have been times we disliked them, but they developed and matured into deep characters but their fight is now over. If this is the beginning of the second act, then what lies ahead is combat, and action. The scattered groups need to complete their story arcs. Vic, Saul and CJ need to finish their ground zero experiments. We need to start the Lizzy, Burt, ANGEL story line. And continue Michael and Puck's military story. And at some point they need to meet up and join forces and there'll probably be some major conflict to end the season.
So yeah, it'd be cool if we could not see Pegs, Kelly and Datu for a very long time so we as an audience feel the weight of that decision to fly away to colorado, and leave the frontlines.
