A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

Okay, am I the only one who LOVED Wood telling Faith he's prettier? Faith getting insecure for a minute about her not being all that and the proverbial container of snack food was priceless.

And seeing this in the corner of the screen choked me up for a minute:

Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day. Spike, 'Fool for Love'

And I'm not a Spuffist. If anything I'm a Xuffist. So, yes I loved the handholding with Xander and the handholding with Spike. But I think he should have just let her "I love you" go. Let her think he thought she meant it.

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.

I felt badly for Xander (for Anya). That's what started me crying at 8:30. I wanted to yell, "Kiss her good-bye, Xander," but since dh isn't spoiled, I couldn't.

dh was very cute. Every two minutes, he would say, "this one is dead, that one is dead," yada yada. Finally, I said, "Honey, you've killed everyone twice. Who's left? Do you want me to tell you?" But he wouldn't let me spoil him. Bah.

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

I didn't realize that was Amanda. I was spoiled, but I skipped stuff. dh saw it was Amanda and yelled, "Oh, no! Millie." (Freaks & Geeks actress for the under-rock-dwellers). And I argued with him, "THAT'S NOT MILLIE." I was very wrong.

bitterchick - despite your distaste for the show, for the last couple of years, I have enough wine in me to make me want to tell you that I find your presence anywhere a godsend. You're bright, funny, honest, and cut to the chase. You've been one of the highlights of my fandom since the my linear lurker days.

Plei? Were you happy for our girl?

Oh, of course.

t sniff

I think we need to find her and take her to the mall. Tonight, the t sniff is like t pedant . There is no close tag.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Okay, am I the only one who LOVED Wood telling Faith he's prettier? Faith getting insecure for a minute about her not being all that and the proverbial container of snack food was priceless.

Nah, that was peachy.

But I think he should have just let her "I love you" go. Let her think he thought she meant it.

I disagree. I think it would have been selfish of him, because I think she, being Buffy, would have felt "my sort of not boyfriend died to save the world" all over again, and would have taken two guilt steps back.

No! I adored it. dh and I were pissing ourselves. It was wonderful and both Eliza and DBW played it to perfection. (And he might be)

And seeing this in the corner of the screen choked me up for a minute:

I think she did mean it. I think he knew she meant it. I think he wanted her to doubt it herself, so that when he died, she wouldn't feel as broken.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Nope-- loved it the Wood is prettier-- just perfect!!

Also, the lines I am earwormed with are

We’re neither pure nor wise nor good; We’ll do the best we know.

From Candide

and

nto the woods--you have to grope,
But that's the way you learn to cope.
Into the woods to find there's hope
Of getting through the journey.
Into the woods, each time you go, There's more to learn of what you know.
Into the woods, but not too slow--
Into the woods, it's nearing midnight--
Into the woods to mind the wolf,
To heed the witch, to honor the giant,
To mind, to heed, to find, to think, to teach, to join,
To go to the Festival!
Into the woods,
Into the woods,
Into the woods,
Then out of the woods--
And happy ever after!

AND THEN
Cinderella: I wish...

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

It occurs to me that where we once had one slayer and a bunch of watchers, we now have a bunch of slayers and one watcher (plus one former watcher in LA ). Bit of a power shift.

I'm beginning to understand this now. It's all about the journey, isn't it?

I can't believe it's over. I'm going to have to rewatch, because I'm too emotionally wrung out to have any actual thoughts. The Scooby scene in the hallway started the allergy attack, but then I totally lost it when Willow went all glowy with the white magic. I know, that's a weird scene to get all emotional over - particularly since it was in the previews so I knew it was coming - but it suddenly hit me how far Willow has come, and how much I love her, and that I won't get to see her journey anymore.

I'm not even going to get into how much I loved Spike saving the world.

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.

Cindy, I live close to Atlanta. And a lot of the time I don't even bother to post because you've already said what I was thinking.

Cindy, that is creepy. But maybe cause:

These are the days
you'll remember.
Never before and never since,
I promise,
will the whole world be warm as this.
And as you feel it, you'll know it's true
that you are blessed and lucky.
It's true
that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom
in you. These are the days you'll remember.
When May is rushing over you with desire
to be part of the miracles you see in every hour. You'll know it's true
that you are blessed and lucky.
It's true that you are touched by something that will grow and bloom
in you.
These are days.
These are the days you might fill with laughter until you break.
These days you might feel a shaft of light
make its way across your face.
And when you do you'll know how it was meant
tobe.
See the signs and know their meaning.
It's true, you'll know how it was meant to be.
Hear the signs and know they're speaking
to you,
to you.

She needs shoes!

We'll drown her in them. When I was working, I liked Atienne Aigner (sp?) - because they were pretty with suits, but comfy. Buffy needs something more funky though for that office supply house cover in Vegas

I'm a fucking wreck. I want my show!

(Also - I'm so very glad it ended like this, now.)
