I felt vindicated that they took so much time to underscore that Fred was really most sincerely dead. The silver lining of the cancellation was that Joss never got the chance to undo that and inflict reconstituted Fred on us.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Getting any relationship together shouldn't stop a story, because it shouldn't be *the* story in these shows, at least. I don't mind at all if any couple has a happy ever after whether they pined for five minutes or five years beforehand. Especially if the being apart is generating narrative tension...please don't drag that shit out forever. If it is part of the story, I need it to climax and resolve like any other plotline or I'll get frustrated and distracted.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I couldn't agree more, ita

Because books.
What were pancake kisses? I don't remember that.
I always liked Fred, and I liked Fred and Wesley together. I didn't care much for Pylea because it seemed so cartoonish after seasons of broody noirness, but I liked getting Fred out of it, so.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Exactly my feeling. With the partial exception of Wesley planning the assault on the castle, and knowingly sending men to die.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Jesus, I need to rewatch. I forgot all about Fred and Gunn. I liked them, too!

I loved them both individually and together.

I liked everyone, really. Except for Cordelia, after about the third season. After Pylea, I guess, actually.
