I'm very satisfied, and I know I'll be sad later, when the finality of it all seeps in. I loved the pretty bowknots on the ends of things, and I love the things left undone, to supply imaginative ramblings. I don't care if there was basement sex or not, the fact that both Buffy and Spike seemed easy together was enough. I loved the way Bufi&Angle4evah!!1! was dealt with, and even the cookie dough metaphor was their-era appropriate.
It was a worthy finale to a show that's broken ground in many ways during its run.
I'd say more, but Jim already spoke for me.
Someone said in an LJ that Buffy's last line of dialogue was "I love you, Spike."
Make of that what you will.
It wasn't, Teppy, but it was damn near. Her last line of dialogue was (I think) just, "Spike," in answer to Giles, when he asked what caused the sucked-into-the-earthness.
Make of that what you will.

Oh, I'm not a 'shipper. Just passing on what someone else (who IS a 'shipper) said.

No way. That's just maudlin (and would have ruined the lovely goo-free interactions between Buffy and Spike I enjoyed all through the episode.) And that moment was about so much more than Buffy's romantic relationship.
The 'shipper wars will never end.
Mind flashes to a nursing home, years in the future. Cranky old people with no teeth chasing each other around in wheelchairs and fighting over which one she *REALLY* loved.
Fuck it. Buffy's gonna marry Pacey.
Oh, I'm not a 'shipper. Just passing on what someone else (who IS a 'shipper) said.
And technically, that's TWO lines.
Damn it.
I was just thinking that Buffy is too old for Pacey, but they are the same age, aren't they?
