`He combed his hair, Put on a shirt that his mother made, And he went on the air...'

Wish me luck, peoples. Three and a half hours till the big Buffy finale shows here. Watching it all on my vulnerable ownsome, with very mixed feelings. Maybe I should've got in a bottle of port...

By the way, just started watching my new season 6 DVDs -- halfway through Bargaining, and I discover so many little extra bits left in that weren't shown on TV or on video. Scenes are either longer or in one case there's a whole extra scene I've never seen before -- on the way to the PTA meeting, Buffybot and Dawn stop outside the school building to look at a student display of a model town. There's some talk and Buffybot asks what race of humans are small enough to live in this town. Has anyone else noticed this -- is it all through season 6 DVDs?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm pretty sure that aired here ... how odd.

Well, if that did air in the States, it makes me wonder how much else I've missed out on, and what cuts have been made at this end. So far I have been just watching bits and pieces from my season 2 and 5 DVDs -- now I'll have to go through them with a fine-tooth comb.

Kassto, I very much enjoyed the finale, as did most of us here, despite some similar reservations about the season as a whole. Have fun with it.

I think I remember that scene too. Although sometimes people post bits that were cut from the scripts, and the voices are so true that after a while it seems like you actually saw it. I don't think this is one of those, but could be.

Kassto, I thought the finale wasn't enough to fix what had pissed me off, but it was true to Buffy.

And I cried.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

How long until the finale? And is this the last batch to get it?

I can't even.

Ditto me, but I'm a big softie about stuff like something that has been hugely important to me for SEVEN YEARS ending.

Ahem.

I cried because it was the end, but I also cried because Joss wrote some tugging stuff -- stuff that'd have made me cry at any point in the season.

And maybe I cried because I wished he'd written more of the season.

'And on that tragic day, an era came to its inevitable end.' That's all there is.

I undestand it was in the 2 hr seasom opener episode, but those places that saw it as 2 episodes lost the flying cars for the extra set of cast credits.

To every idea a shelf...

Aw, yeah--that's what I'm talking about. I think I may need a cigarette or something.
Peace Out--the second-to-last episode.

I really enjoyed it too. I found the last couple of episodes a bit slow, so I loved that things started moving along good and fast this week. I lovelovelove that Connor knew it was a lie but decided to believe it anyway because it was a pretty lie. I swing back and forth on the hotness of Connor, but I was on board this week because he got to do more than glower and smirk. He was cute as a button when he was trying to find out if Jasmine ate Cordy. Hee! I'm a bit confused though - Wesley, Gunn and Lorne realised Jasmine was a lie without looking directly at Miss Rotty McMaggotface, right? Some of the stuff in this episode suggested to me that the spell isn't properly broken until you see her all decaying. Anyway, I'm so excited for the finale!

Waaah! My television finally decided to die tonight. I think the tube exploded or something, in any case it seems terminal. Fortunately the VCR is still working so I'm taping stuff, but I'm going to be on severe delay.

That's all shades of sucktacular. How long will you be TVless? Shall we whitefont on the side of caution for now?
