3, 2, 4, 1, 5, 7, 6 for me.
I didn't mention it on the Movie thread, but Jim was partially right about the Wild Bunch nod in the middle, just after the Last Scooby Moment.
Mal: Go on. Get in there. Give your brother a thrashing for messing up your plan. River: He takes so much looking after.
'Objects In Space'
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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Wait, no. I think it was the shot of Buffy practically flying across the collapsing rooftops that was my favorite.
I turned to DH and said, "Crouching Vampire, Hidden Slayer."
Let's see, my ranking of the seasons:
2, 3, 4, 7, 5, 1, 6.
Off the top of my head. Ask me tomorrow, and I might give you a different answer.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
But really, did the Amulet of Beautiful Redemptive Death *have* to be so drag-queeny?
Well, as a set-up for "I look like Elizabeth Taylor" line? Sure, it had to be that gaudy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
2, 6, 3, 1, 4, 7, 5.
Hmmmm. I'll go 3, 2, 4, 6, 1, 7, 5
Also liked the subtle (and not so subtle) call backs to past season finales.
Joss did a fucking amazing amazing job in pulling in so many strands into just 44 minutes. I would say that he managed to allude to almost all the emotional high points in the series even if it was just a little throwaway like the "fat grandchildren" line which hits on Amends and on Passion. The callback to the end of The Harvest with the core four, then the split to the core-er three, and Giles peeling off. Gracious, so many grace notes.

"Angel and Spike, The Starsky and Hutch of the Netherworld" - Albert Einstein in his speech to the U.N. Security Council, Sept., 1955.
My ranking:
6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, and six.
Then 3, 2, 4, 1, and 5.
Someone said something about a 7th season. What happened in that one?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
2, 3, 1, 6, 4, 7, 5
And getting one last shot of the "Welcome to Sunnydale" sign made my day.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
That was about Willow specifically.
True, but it was also "this woman", in opposition to "those men". Which leads me to another thought: expositiony lady from the last ep wasn't really expositiony lady after all (thankfully, as she wasn't very good at it). She was, if you like, a template for the new, improved Slayer paradigm that Willow wrought, in opposition to the one created by the first Watchers.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Season Two: Buffy has to banish Angel to Hell to stop the world from being sucked into Hell/ Buffy banishes Angel back to Los Angeles
As an Angelino-in-Exile, I can say that this is funny, funny shit.

I never thought she was Exposition Lady anyway. I always thought she was Joan Rivers.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I loved it. I realize there were flawed moments in it, and boy do I wish the entire season had that level of writing going for it, but I loved it. Angel & Spike being snippy about each other, the core Scoobies in the hallway, "I am SO prettier than you", the sharing of the power, Spike telling Buffy that she didn't love him, but thanks for saying so ...
I'm all babble-y. And sniffly. Still.
