I find myself hoping that (a) Season 7 really is the final season; and (b) the show goes out on a high.
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

I agree, Angus. 7 seasons does seem to be something like a healthy lifespan for most shows. It'd be awful for Buffy to go the Friends/ER/insert-your-show-here route and become a shadow of its former self.
Thanks, Connie! I'm looking forward to it even more now! (And - unspoiled so far, touch wood).

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm of mixed feelings, because I'm personally still enjoying the show and it's hard to say bye to that... but I've seen enough shows continue far beyond their period of creative innovation, and also I think 7 years is about as long as you should reasonably ask an actor to continue in a role OR have to work the insano hours that a weekly TV series entails.
Ideally, I'd love to see some sort of successor series set in the same universe, for which surviving cast members can occasionally show up for well-paid and fun guest appearances.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Like, um....Angel?

Well, Angel shows that the Jossverse is strong enough for a spinoff to work. It also shows, for me, how to make a good spinoff: by being different. Angel works, when it works, because it's not "Buffy Goes to Hollywood".

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Whiting is probably a regional name for a particular fish as yet determined.
King George Whiting is caught in a number of places off the South Australian coast and is scrumptious. Not sure how many types of whiting there are but there's a few.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
ita, that's exactly what I thought of when whiting came up.
I am wholly against boiled fish, which is revolting
It's something of a summer specialty in Door County (resorty area in Wisconsin), fish boils. They involve enormous tanks of water, like oil drum size, into which is thrown big chunks of fish, potatoes, carrots, I think maybe cabbage, etc., then they do something that makes the whole thing flame up. Yummm.
But I would never try to boil fish at home, that just seems odd.
Fish fries are almost compulsory on Friday nights in Wisconsin, but it's not the same as brit-style F&C.

If I only had a brain...
Shrimp can be boiled. With potatoes, and corn, and Old Bay seasoning. mmmmmm.
I suppose on this thread I should call them "prawns". But I won't.
What does a winkle pin look like?

(Thanks to every Spoiler Whore on this board for their forebearance in dropping hints and guarding against outright blurting-out!)
I really appreciate having this no-spoiler section of the board in place now that I've decided to stay off the show threads for the season.
