Does that make me the only Buffista who still has new-to-her episodes to watch hasn't watched the show's finale?
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

What did you think, then?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's not over until all Buffistas have seen the end.
Which means, Nilly, that you just can never see it.

God, that will be a moment, eh? When every Buffista has seen the end. We should put a black border around the site, or something.

Loved it.
I had thought of two directions that could have been possible fitting endings to the series. A third one hadn't occurred to me. It occurred to Joss. That's pretty much my definition of good storytelling.

No, we'll just make sure that by the time I see it, there will be newbies who still haven't.
Oh, and there already are and also going to be several Buffista Babies, and I'm pretty sure their parents wouldn't let them watch even the first episode of BtvS until they're at least old enough to pronounce the word "Buffista".
Oh, and I just very much like the word "newbie" right now - they just started showing "Scrubs" here, and whenever the main character is called that way, I'm liking it all the more.
[Edit:

What were your endings, Angus?]

Yes, that sums up my feelings.

Mine were: Everyone dies or the Hellmouth gets shut.

Well I was just thinking about what happens to Buffy but, yeah, on similar lines: either she dies (again!) or she somehow manages to "retire" from slaying and pass on her powers. I really do have to hand it to Joss for finding a third solution that seemed obvious in retrospect. And I don't know why I'm still being coy about it! Just making sure...Nilly, you're spoiled, right?

Yes, don't worry! I'm my own special kind of spoiled.
I only read the episodes descriptions when the episodes air in the USA. It's a habit I started with when they stopped showing BtvS here and there was no chance to ever watching AtS, so I figured that reading on the internet is my only way in forever to know what's happening with some of my favorite fictional characters. Then, when I lucked out enough to be found by a tape fairy, I was addicted too used to do the readings, and didn't stop.
