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.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

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

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.

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!

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...

Is it just me or did Spike's blood activate the amulet?
It looks to me like he got stabbed, touched the wound and then clutched the amulet.
IT'S BLOOD, CHILDREN!

But so happy he got to save the world and knock down the Welcome to Sunnydale sign one more time.
Didn't make the connection-should have. Thanks for jogging my so-called mind.
ted - except for that one episode this season, you (and UTTAD) are my Buffy brother(s). I *know* you loved this ending. (right?)
You know correctly Cindy. We were all talking about having to lose a Slayer to balance the scales-how clever of Joss to do the opposite and add bunches of new slayers to tip them (for now-the reference to the other Hellmouth, besides the nice continuity with The Wish, reminds us that evil will always be with us, and all victories are partial).
