Schmoopy of me, but I'm picturing Joyce and Spike enjoying a nice mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows in a heaven dimension somewhere. With Tara, too.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Yep.
Damn allergies.

disappointed in Xander's reaction to Anya's death.
t nit
His leaving was too perfunctory. Too easy. He swung his head around and followed the others out. No matter the danger, I like to think he would have searched. A little. Giles went back in for Buffy.

Anya will never have fruit punch again.

Hec! This is beyond mere allergies!
And I was stupid and forgetful to leave Anya out of my heaven scenario. She's there with them. With a big glass of fruit punch.

Thanks for all the fish.
Hec, you BASTARD. I'm at work, stop it.

I know. This is why she had to die such a meaty, mortal death though. A very subtle tie in to "The Body" along with all her obvious riffs on mortality. Her death made the hair on my arms stand up.
As somebody noted upthead (Amber, I think), Willow turning white was my crypoint. Her story is the most meaningful to me in the 7 season path, and she's been given as much development as Buffy as a character.
Amanda, had such a great, fierce battle face. That always thrilled me - way more than the other slay-ettes. Except...Vi! Totally. Kicked. Ass. Wow, that was exciting.
Kept thinking of ita when they were tossing the axe around.
Most moved by Xander's hand squeeze to Buffy.
Most laughing, during the beautifully written and played Faith/Wood scene. God, that was good. Okay, petulent Angel was good too. Also Dawn kicking Buffy's shin. "Ow."
Hmmm, I think Jane is actually funnier than Joss on a line by line snappy basis. But nobody writes in-character-funny-with-twists like Joss. Nobody in television. Not many people in the history of writing for actors period.

I thought that the D&D was the funniest.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I thought that the D&D was the funniest.
I wasn't quite able to believe in Giles playing, so it doesn't win my award. I think that probably goes to Buffy fantasizing about Angel and Spike wrestling, covered in oil. Or possibly, for pure "aww, hee" untinged by "okay, and this scene was written to fulfill this purpose," Willow giggling and falling over. That's my Buffy right there.
I will say, the scene with the Core Four worked very well for me as a retread - because I believed that those characters knew what they were doing, and that they were doing it on purpose. I didn't notice Joss pulling the strings there.
