I didn't get sniffly until I read Susan's tag! (For posterity: "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.")

Buffy's smile at the end. Weary, wise, and happy. Just about says it all for me.

LOVED that Spike just came right out with "what where you doing kissing Angel".

Joss wuvs us.

Did anyone actually SEE Kennedy on the bus? I didn't. And she had no scene with Willow afterward. Now, granted, she didn't belong in the final shots, but, are we sure she survived?

she'll show up in the movie, 'cause God hates me.

but, are we sure she survived?

ya know, we can just lalalano!la that one if'n it helps you sleep at night :)

I've kind of liked Kennedy, but it has taken some effort. Tonight, it was a lot easier. I'd feel bad for Willow if she died. Apparently, Willow likes where Kennedy wears her stud.

caught up

I expected to be disapointed. I was not. My biggest problem - it made people laugh to much - so I missed lines.

Dh's brother's first show was the final -- he knows he missed a lot - but he enjoyed it.

I t is killing me that there won't be another show.

but we have already started to plan a rewatch...starting with season 1 ...

but I am in pain.

Reporting in from the LA party. I loved the episode, and am glad beyond words that I had several Buffistas to watch it with. I am sad that Anya died, but it is fitting in a way I can't quite put into words yet. I loved the Wood and Faith interactions, and in my imaginary spin off, he's following her around the country trying to surprise her.

I'm off to the tape thread sadly, because my tape ended just when Wood and Faith were on the bus. No Buffy smile or Grr Arggh guy.

Daniel stands on the rim of the crater. He kicks a small rock over the edge and sings

"Anybody here seen my old friend Buffy...can you tell me where she's gone? She saved a lot of people and they say the good go young. I just looked around and she's gone."

"Anybody here seen my old friend Anya...can you tell me where she's gone? She finally "got" people and died with a heart so young. I just looked around and she's gone."

OK, I shall not speak of Spike. I've spoken of him in places where such speculations better lie. Anyway ...

Loved Dawn and Buffy, with Dawn kicking her. Dawn's brush-off of (yet another) speech from Buffy was lovely. "It will sound like good-bye." She's not wrong, and I could really get to love DAwn. Watcher Jr. indeed.

So, um, two of Giles' sources being dead--a little casual with the necromancy, aren't you, dude? You always summon up the shades of the dead when you need to look up something?

Heresy alert: I'm not so much with the girl power thing. A couple of shots, OK, but the full montagey thing went on way too long for my taste. Then again, I've never felt any lack of girl power, so invoking same just makes me twitch.

The D&D game--gods, that was brilliant. I wonder of Giles already knew the rules. When Xander was pointing out his position on the map, I thought, "How sweet, he and Giles are bonding over battle plans again--oh, wait, what ..." Poor Amanda. Poor Anya! Left alone! Put me in the Andrew was storytelling both for Xander's and his own comfort. Poor Andrew's got a big guilt thing now, with his "Why didn't I die?" survivor guilt.

One think I really wanted was for Xander to be pissed that they blew up the school he built. At least one reference to "Yes! Blow up the school! It's what we do best! I blew it up, I rebuilt it, I blew it up again!"

Wood needs smacked hard--after he heals--for scaring Faith like that.
