That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I live in Salem, and even if I had a ride all the way home (and I don't know of any North Shore Buffistas),

Hey, Ken, I'm in Swampscott! At least until I move out to Western Mass. next week. I didn't go to the Worcester finale party either, however, since I promised my mother I'd watch it with her.

Happy birthday, Caroma!

Ha, it's funny that all the MA Buffistas--even those of us that weren't at the Worcester party--are posting drunk. MA represent! or something.

My mother would like to make it known that she wants Buffy and Spike to still end up together.

Kate - moving from Swampscott to Western MA?

Damn, this must be a trend. My best friend moved from Lynn (but literally, she lived a few yards from the Swampcott line) to Northampton. I spent some time out in the Amherst/N-hampton area back in my college-ish days, so I don't begrudge those who'd move out there - it's a lovely part of New England (which means one of the most lovely parts of the world IMHO). I wish I could do that, but I have seemed to fall into an actual career, and I don't see any good way out of it at the moment, gorram it!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Was I the only one who thought that Andrew was going to get slayer powers also?

OK, then.

Thanks for all the fish.

What I hurt the most about Anya dying was her being left behind, not being found. Just lying there.

Yep. I got logged out just as I was trying to post and askye beat me to it.

They got to bury Buffy - Anya gets a different kind of hole in the ground. And Xander didn't get a proper goodbye with her. He's going to be grieving for a long time.

I guess we see now why the 'evacuation' of Sunnydale was necessary (if poorly explained). Imagine if they had to either rescue or abandon civilians.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

All right. We have 15 odd drunken Buffistas here,many of whom have been posting. I just have this to say: Msbelle is as tough as she says she is.

Diablo Robotico Up.

Great episode. Whedon seemingly has solved the Crisis of the Slayer Succession...by ascending all of them, at once. That is a brilliant piece of pop culture feminism right there, the women taking the power for their own, right now. I loved the shot of the girl blocking the coming punch. Great stuff.

If I'm not mistaken, during the Hellmouth fight scene, the Ax was used by just about every Slayer. It was moving from Slayer to Slayer so quickly. Did anybody catch the background shot of the Slayer dressed in the light blue sweater Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragoning across the screen?

The Hellmouth battle echoed the epic battle in The Two Towers.

Anya's death...bitter, tragic, forlorn and sad. I think if Andrew makes it to the spinoff, he'll still have some death issues. Her fall was abrupt, violent and graphic.
