Deena, here is that link, if you get the chance, it's kind of interesting.
Hee, Slayer powers!
I put the link in my favorites so I can do it some justice when I'm awake. Thanks for sharing it, Miss V.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

Jumping way forward to put notice that the final previously on breakdown is now up in Mejiaville.
I'll catch up with everyone's impressions. I thought it was a beautiful send-off to the series.
Damn allergies.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I’m going to be sappy, because I’m drinking the small batch bourbon I bought for the occasion, because I have watched every single show since the first season, and because this seems to be the place to do it. I’m not one of these Johnny-come-latelys to Buffy. Joss Whedon had me at "I see you’ve seen the softer side of Sears." I was caught by the snark but stayed … for what? Mostly because Buffy, more often than not, met what I think of as the criteria for great writing -– the definition in William Faulkner’s Nobel Prize speech:
I decline to accept the end of man.... I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.
Ave atque vale, Buffy.

Jeff, when will the preview be up? Oh, wait...
YES, yes, I know - it was a cheap shot. SOMEONE was (probably) going to do it, so I just got it out of the way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ayup. I didn't want to watch it again, because it hits my issues, but the raising of all the potentials? Got the tear again. I am so helpless.

I'm getting the pig!
I'm just sooo lost. Lost in a way I've never felt before.
And quite broken.
Still.... glad that I've come to realize what great television is.
If I didn't have the Buffistas to help me feel normal right now, I would be considering checking into an institution or getting medication from my doctor.
SIGH!

The evil is this way?
Are we beating up Ken? Hey, it's better than me getting all sniffly again.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
This is really something to have been a part of, you know? This is creation. This is iconic, something that has a life and a meaning beyond this moment.
Sophia, you know what Sondheim reference is coming to mind? Sunday in the Park With George.
Look, I made a hat
Where there never was a hat...
Man. I'm going to bed. If I can sleep.
