Brilliant article on the end of Buffy. What I meant to write upthread.
Buffy 4: Grr. Arrgh.
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
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.
William/Spike has always been looking for love outside himself... Cecily, Dru. Buffy-- and has alwasy been looking for something 'effulgent' or glowing. And in the end he found that inside himself, literally glowing.
thud
Brilliant.
