Well, that was fun, and sad, and good.
Totally goes against my original series-ending scenario that I imagined a few summers back, in which, after the big-bad battle that narrowly averts another apocalypse, everyone is dead other than Jonathan (like I said, this dates back a few years--I was so bummed when Andrew knifed him!). But, I have to say, this was better. Seeing Buffy actually smile--well, that was just about perfect. Reminded me of how much I love seeing her have her belly-laughs, which were so rare in seven years.
OH MY GOD THEY KILLED ANYA
YOU BASTARDS!
Well, someone had to do it.
But I do miss RL from my lurky days - come back!
BUT NOT A SPREADY THING LIKE SPIKE AND FRED?
THAT'S A SPRED ALTHOUGH SPREADING IS NOT RULED OUT IN THOSE SITUATIONS!
I LIKED THAT BUFFY SMILED. AND I LIKED GROWLY KILL THE FIRST BUFFY FACE WHEN SHE GOT UP! AND I LIKE PIE, AND ASSCAPS!
Dangit, PB beat me to the Strongbad linkage. I'm pissed that Anya died, since she would have been the perfect character to bring over to AtS next season.
If we had a search function, I'd go back in time to see when we first started speculating about sharing the power. I fucking loved that Buffy shared her power (but also didn't seem to lose any). LOVED.
Also?
Yeah? Plei is looking for a way to spread the spred love. She's incorrigible. And we lovers her and should lick her.
What I hurt the most about Anya dying was her being left behind, not being found. Just lying there.
I agree with askye, the shot of Anya, just dead and lying there, after the almost subliminal shot of her getting, basically, cut in half, was heartbreaking.
On the other hand, she's on an ME show and got sucked down into the hellmouth - how dead is dead?
What I hurt the most about Anya dying was her being left behind, not being found. Just lying there.
It was rather uncerimonious wasn't it. Caleb's death was so fitting. This was one super finale and anyone that doesn't think so can eat my shorts. I particularly loved the way it ended ..... on a lonely stretch of road with all the world at their feet (but Cleveland?). And Buffy even left the door open for her appearance on the series finale of Angel ("Years" ..... "I'm not getting any older.")
You guys seen the New Dork Tower?
