Woohoo!
Cereal? I thought Andrew telling Xander a lie about Anya saving him was all about Andrew using his "storytelling" for a good reason for a change.
Someone said upthread that they thought Andrew lied when he told Xander that Anya died saving his life. Did I misread this? Do other folks think that? I thought it was basically true, if perhaps stretching the facts a teeny bit.
He wasn't lying, he was storytelling. The moment when Andrew decided to tell Xander that Anya died heroically was the only thing in the episode that made me tear up.
Possible cereal:
It's about the hero's journey, where the final stage is the return with the elixir, which the hero then shares with everyone.
Is this how the prototypical Hero's Journey always ends, with the sharing of the elixir/power/whatever?
Me? I loved it. Maybe if I thought harder about it, there might be a few things I could bring up to say, "Well, but this part blah blah blah" or "I wish they'd done ha ha ha," but you know what? Not gonna do it.
This was a satisfying ending for me. (But let's face it, after the XF debaucle, 43 minutes of Giles picking his nose would have been satisfying. Okay, maybe not, but you get my point.) I laughed a lot, I cried, I was literally on the edge of my seat several times.
It's been a really great two years. If only I'd gotten on the Buffytrain sooner!
And can I have seasons 4-7 on DVD, like, now??
Ken!!!!! Why are you not socializing with MA BUFFISTAS???!!!!

I need more wine...
My sistah.
Well, Buffy sharing the power really isn't about feminism. It's about the hero's journey, where the final stage is the return with the elixir, which the hero then shares with everyone.
Well
Plei - buttery? Now I'm coming up all corn on the cob. After my Justine revelation in spoilers today (*shaky fist at Laura*) - I think... yeah. More wine.
Did the camera work during the Core Four power square remind anyone else of the camera work in "Restless"?
I'm still digesting everything. I don't feel gutted like I did after "The Gift". Which I guess is a good thing, since I have to work tomorrow, but I wanted to be gutted.
Poor Anya. Poor Amanda. Poor Dead Jonathan (old news, but still).
And poor glowy Spike.
And Huzzah for Buffy. May her cookie dough continue to bake.
He wasn't lying, he was storytelling. The moment when Andrew decided to tell Xander that Anya died heroically was the only thing in the episode that made me tear up.
Oh yeah, I cried at that part. I like the storytelling explanation; I just couldn't remember if Anya had actually saved his life.
Yes happy that RL is in love, sad that she is too busy and upset that Anya died.
And hi! I'm a recent delurker but have followed for a LONG time now.
Curious about what the naysayers have to say, but if they don't want to subject themselves to the attention (certianly not tonight, for instance), I respect that.
