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.

t kicking Ken in the shins

t accepting the abuse willingly - I set myself up for it

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!

Are we beating up Ken? Hey, it's better than me getting all sniffly again.

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.

You are very welcome Deena...I'll let everyone know if the Pittsburgh hellmouth starts spewing ubervamps into the Ohio River. Well, when I get back there I will.

In the meantime, I suppose I shall sleep, dare I let the posts pile up on me? Yipe...must have relative visiting tomorrow, it will hinder my postage. I'll have to cram some in. Goodnight dear Buffistas, goodnight!

Narrator, I'm willing to beat Ken up, but not viciously, as msbelle likes him, and I don't want her angry with me.

Good thing Angel and company have a new source of income, what with the supply of damsels in distress going way down now that girl power's the thing. Wonder if the writers on AtS will make what happened in Sunnydale any part of their show's setting?

See, now, OK, I'm down from the KRAKATOA caps, and can say with clear eye although not clear nose because I have a cold and it is stuffy:

... I was actually very meh for most of the thing. I mean, all my personal (such as anti-Spuffy) preferences aside, I was kind of thinking, this was, along with being the most pointless crossover episode ever, basically a retread of all the other season finales, mixed into one-- Willow's hair changes to an different color which makes me go "ack that is not Alyson Hannigan!" and there is a not-really-the-main-evil male villain who has problems with misogyny and calls Buffy "bitch", and there is a large ensemble fight in which the Scoobies are split up while actors in monster makeup attack them and Willow does a spell sitting on the floor, and large Sunnydale property is utterly destroyed, and Buffy watches her boyfriend die. And, hey, Buffy dies, because of that mortal wound thing, but then wait, she didn't really die, because the wound was not so woundy after all and did not seem to hinder her from leaping from buildingtop to buildingtop later when it was narratively required. Although a sword slid clean through her. Or did I miswatch? It's possible.... And if a cadre of newly-annointed slayers could instantly poof an army of ubervamps why did it take Buffy several weeks to figure out how to kill one even with all her skill and training?

But I liked the Kennedy/Willow. I liked Vi. I wept when Anya died.

I am not saying this to harsh anybody's high. I am saying it because I am finding myself back in this thread and unable to resist my habit which was to say what I think about things, about BtVS, here, in the BtVS thread. Um.

In other news, love is a very fun and distracting state. I highly recommend it.
