The DC finale being a 5-year flash forward puts the Creek folk 3-4 years older than the Scoobies.
Buffy/Pacey. Heh. Just the thought of Buffy beating the crap out of Joey Potter to get to him makes this idea a good one.
It didn't even occur to me to wonder if Buffy & Spike had sex. My general Spike apathy aside, it's a tribute to Joss that Did They Or Didn't They didn't seem at all important -- it's not what their relationship, whatever it is, is about at this point, so much so that the question didn't even seem worth asking.

Brilliant article on the end of Buffy. What I meant to write upthread.
Eee! Joey and Dawson are demons!!!
That's the plot device RIGHT THERE!
I'm telling you... it's perfect.
Hey, I recall, sometime in the middle of S3 Creek (during Pacey's pining phase) that Pacey actually mentioned Hellmouth, as in "if I confess my feelings to this girl, the cosmos will shift and the hellmouth will open up and swallow the Capeside whole" (or something like that.)
Eee! Joey and Dawson are demons!!!
Dude....so that giant forehead is really a prosthetic he wears to hide the demon ridges?

Totally! It all makes so much sense...
Well Angel and Dawson DO both have hair issues.
Not the same hair issues, mind you, but...ijs.
I subscribe to Salon (really-not trying to steal here) but for some reason I'm having trouble with it today. I wrote them for help, but in the meantime I lack the patience to wait for a reply so if anyone who does sub can e-mail me a copy of the review of the final Buffy appearing today, I'd appreciate it. My e-mail is tdraicer@aol.com.
Thanks!
I've never seen Dawson's Creek so this is lost on me.
The brilliance of the ep was that it doesn't matter if you wanted Buffy/Spike sex or not, it doesn't matter if you feel that some year Buffy/Angel will have fat grandchildren. It didn't exclude any version.
Sweet!
Ah. I do love Joss. His description of the girls becoming slayers:
We steadicam along the row of Potentials as they too absorb the power. It's a rushing wind, a hammer blow, it's hard, soft, confusing, a first orgasm, a perfect equation, a fevered dream...it's power.
