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.

But, if you think about it, fitting.

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.

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

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)

(sorry to be taking up the thread with Natter!) I live really close to the Lynn line, actually. I'm moving out to the Noho area because 1) pretty! and 2) lots of my good friends live out there. And I wasn't about to stay in Eastern Mass., unless I could have gotten a place in Boston, and I'm SO not a city person.

Um, if I weren't so frelling busy (what with the moving, graduating, grandparents/friends visiting, etc.), I'd suggest that we should meet up. Hmm. Now that I think about it, I do have next Tuesday night free... t sobbing again!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Loved Giles catching injured Principal Hottie. Mmmm.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Poor Giles. He misses Anya so very much...
