Allyson, before you are free, I want to know why you hated it, cause you explain that stuff so well.

Actually, Allyson hasn't seen it yet. That was me. ;-) Hey, she might even like it.

But yeah, I'm not harshing anyone's buzz tonight. Maybe in a few weeks.

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

I bet Fox had already auctioned that off...

I thought it was just wonderful. I'm oddly fulfilled.

I want TV movie of the week specials. I want Buffy:TNG XIII. Boo and hoo.

I want the frelling BUFFY CARTOON already. Every Saturday morning at 9 am so that I can watch it eating cereal.

And I haven't had cereal in three or four YEARS!

Thing is, Anya feared mortality. And she chose it, sideways maybe, but she chose it. And then she risked it, being callous all the way. And now I'm thinking of her speech in the Body, railing against the frustration of grieving. And she died. And I appreciate that.

For some reason, I now have Natalie Merchant's group's "These are the days" stuck in my head which hasn't been stuck in my head since I cleaned out my room to move to college.

Okay - that's just f'ing creepy, because me, too, sarameg.

You know, I don't know how other people feel, but if I had personally written the end I wanted for Spike and Buffy, this is exactly what I would have written. Becuase he made this sacrifice not for Buffy, but because it was the right thing. And she learned how to speak up and share what she was feeling in the moment. And that is what they needed to learn from each other.

W.R.O.D. Sophia. Thank you. That's how I'm feeling, exactly. (that and tipsy)

I have a house full of drunken Buffistas! AIFG!

Victor. You. Taunter! Worst part for me - dh ended up off-site for the day, and was home much earlier, so in theory, we could have made it there. I'm bitter.

(note to self - check out Sophia's post 1218 - that links to her At. Can. post)

Plei? Were you happy for our girl?

When they showed Anya laying there dead and Xander frantically trying to find her...that got me.

On the funny half, Spike and Angel's bitterness toward each other, especially Angel muttering about how he had a soul before it was the cool thing to do.

Plei? Were you happy for our girl?

Oh, of course.

The more I think about it the better I feel about it. Only thing that bugs me is the Wood fakeout(s). He's only human, folks. A hero's death, giving Faith something to think about, would have been fine with me.

But weren't he and Giles terrific? Where the hell was Giles all these months, cause whoever was standing there in front of us 'twasn't him. Oh well, like Teppy said last week, we're just not going to get closure on that one. But I almost forgive them for giving such good Giles at the end.

The spinoff possibilities are as endless as the road they're on, aren't they?

And then my four babies squared off alone, together in the hall, and I lost it.

Me too! Me too!

I love Restless.
It's probably top of my Buffy pops.
It's all about what's to come.

But Chosen?
Chosen is all about where we have been
The continuity nods were amazing.
The shout outs to just about everything.. unrelenting
And for the first time all season, I heard every character voice, pitchperfect, simultaneously.

contented sigh
