The battle scene was a little stolen from Helm's Deep. Just a little.

Ha! Yes.

I enjoyed the episode completely but the part that got me was the shot of the first four standing in the hallway discussing what they were gonna be doing "tomorrow" that was a beautiful nod to the relationship those four had all along. Dying, black hair, hyenas, bad attitudes, nothing can break the tie that those four have! Sheddin a tear thinking about it!

Awww.

(Hmm. Having strange warm fuzzy feelings.)

It wasn't a perfect episode, but it was a good note to go out on, and while it didn't erase any of my problems with the uneven arc, it felt pretty good.

Like one last time.

Ha! Yes.

At the commercial break right before the fight started, I looked at Mom and said "Is that IT, Sauron? Is that the best you can DO?"

That was the point where I turned to Paul and cheerfully said "Mr. Whedon, Mr. Jackson would like his royalty check." He giggled. Then Willow went all white, and he laughed harder.

When Buffy had her brilliant idea immediately the FE taunted her that she would have to die for further slayers to be called, I was really scared they were going to try that whole "let's kill and revive Buffy and Faith again and again until we have a ton of slayers called,"

Yeah, I was too. Much more pleased with the GirlPower!Spell.

My favorite question from my Mom last night: "Why do you keep calling Angel 'hairloaf'?"

Hee!

Also, when Spike was going all disco inferno, did any one else think that the way it was lit, with his forehead and hair kinda blending, it made him look like he had Dawsonhead?

(Were we supposed to think they had The Sex?)

They had sex in the scene where she came downstairs and they stared at each other as there was a slow fade to black.

Hey! This is my fanwank, and it makes me happy and keeps me from saying the U-word.

The funny thing is that I spent all day yesterday talking myself into liking the ep (which I saw Monday) by telling myself that the non-crazed, non-shipper, non-Internet fans would love it and I should just accept it on those terms, and then right after the ep, my non-shipper, non-Internet fan sister IMed me to tell me she hated the episode. If you want to know what she said, you can check my LJ at ww1614.

I *heart* the ep. I super *heart* the Buffistas. You have all made my final episodes of Buffy the best they could have been. :-)
