Tell msbelle, she's getting something pink and eeeevil someday soon. Just to taunt her.

The slayers awakening around the world was too awesome.

Yes. I wonder if we'll see repercussions of this on Angel next year?

And, hey! The vampire with the soul did play a major role in the Apocalypse!

I'm glad Buffy is free, all I've ever wanted for her is to have a normal life. But not, you know, settling down with Spike or Angel and having their babies badfic normal. I hope she goes off to college.

Hi erike! And welcome!

(also, I am so earwormed with Into the Woods and Candide it is not funny)

The slayers awakening around the world was too awesome.

I was covered in goosebumps.

Seriously, Scola was sitting right here and I'm wearing a tank top and shorts-- there's a witness.

Yesterday I watched Prophecy Girl. And bawled. Today I watched The Gift. And really really bawled. I thought I was done, but then I came here and read the filk, and the remembrances, and the tributes, and many of the articles that were linked to, and now my eyes are all leaky again.

Ten more minutes.

Amber - there's no chance you're in the Boston area, I suppose. I watched the same ones as you, and pretty much 99% of the times you post, I just sit and nod.

And may I say how fond I am of all of you (including those I've fought with).

ted - except for that one episode this season, you (and UTTAD) are my Buffy brother(s). I *know* you loved this ending. (right?)

so I went to the Museum of Broadcasting and watched what I could.

Caroma - I think you should win a prize for that sort of newbie-Buffy dedication, plus, that's a great story!

DX, here, at the Somervillain party,with special guest star msbelle!!! Woo!

Thank goodness that secret is out. I browbeat the sweet secret keeper into telling me, because I couldn't attend the Infante's hootenanny. I could feel the up of pinkness in the state, though (and sweetness, too.) Hi msbelle!

Hey all. I'm here. And I'm in a better place and promise I won't use the U word.

{{{Wenda}}}

"Fat grandchildren"? Ouch.

LOVED that, as it was a shout-out to Jenny's line in Amends. The continuity faerie struck again, and this time, actually wielded by Whedon.

Nice line about about the wrestling and the oil. I love the picture of Angel.

Even Buffy loves a little HoYay in an apocalypse.

I loved that; and I swear I thought of the Buffistae the whole time.

I want that picture of Angel from the punching bag.

That almost caused me to waste a mouthful of a $20 bottle of Merlot, it did.

I love Anya too. I love them all tonight. -sob-

This is me. And I started crying precisely at 8:30, when Anya called Andrew a little 'monkey'. I collected myself. And then my four babies squared off alone, together in the hall, and I lost it.

How can it be 8:44 already? This is not right.

This also was me.

OK, the Frayverse now makes no sense at all!

Only if you discount the ability of humans to fuck up a good thing in a couple of centuries. Surely, that's a possibility that need not be fanwanked, Caroma.

Okay - finished this threadsuck and there were 35 new posts. My carpal tunnel does not thank you, and it would like to enter, for the record, that msbelle is lovely, but wack, if she didn't like this finale.

I also loved the part about Potentials waking up everywhere. Liked the handicapped one coming out of her chair especially.

I really don't feel too bad about Anya, since she dealt out so much death in her time. She chose the side of evil and only belatedly sort of redeemed herself, and it cost her her best friend at that. She died fighting and gorily, as she would have done to her enemies. I'm glad they didn't show both her halves--ewwww.

Edit: Like a good Dark Age woman, she died defending her village. "That's my girl".

I didn't really want Andrew to live either, blasphemer that I am. But Amanda I feel really bad about.

That scene in the hallway before the last fight, the "let's do the mall later" scene, wrapped things up so well for me.

Giles' throwback to "The Harvest" was so right on! "The earth is doomed." I teared up...I admit it.

The random Quote up top made me think--was Andrew wearing Buffy's Red Riding Hood costume during the D&D game?

I think that Joss really tried his best to satisfy everyone, which I thought was impossible at this point.

I sincerely hope he wasn't. I don't want to be satisfied, I want to be amazed, awed and weepy. And I am, damnit, I just wanted him to do it at least a couple more times! I want TV movie of the week specials. I want Buffy:TNG XIII. Boo and hoo.
