A set of interesting responses to Buffy - starts on May 17th. Come to think of it, doesn't someone here know Will Shetterly? So, you know, small world.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?
'Shells'
Buffy 4: Grr. Arrgh.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I forgot one of the most exciting things that happened yesterday.
My tubey t got dirty at work, so I decided to go cleavage-y slutbomb for the finale. Dark eye makeup, dark red lipstick, jeans, and A RED TANK TOP! I'm so prescient!
I mean really. There's a synchronicity there that borders on predestination.
okay so my jeans were black and hers were blue -- i will not let this be ruined by either the nit or the pick
And those of you that say Wood is prettier than Faith -- you are welcome to him.
And, yes, I am working on a "My Faith" bit. Thanks for asking.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh, I don't know if this was covered already or not, but I realized late last night why they made such a big deal about everyone clearing out of Sunnydale. The whole town collapsing into the hellmouth would be kinda horrifying if it was peopled at the time.

Up with the sun
I finally made it to the end of the thread!
Anyhow, that was ... wow. I was just sitting there at the end with the HUGEST GRIN on my face. Because it ended exactly where it should have ended, and everyone found their redemption or calling, and it was beautiful.
I LOVED tough!Vi, and the montage of potentials. Poor Anya. Poor Spike -- but he had the death he would have asked for.
Joss is such an aggressively good writer -- every line was note-perfect. I loved every character.
And it would never have occured to me that Buffy & Spike slept together. Y'all have dirty minds.
Oh, and thanks to Jack Esteve for hosting the DCista finale party. He made a great cake, a great quiz, and a great amaretto punch.

I had the same thought, Burrell. I still wish they'd given more explanation, though.

If I only had a brain...

And your point was...?
Although I have to admit, I didn't read any nookie into it either. Just mutual comfort.

"Why did Spike have to die instead of Angel?"

For all his big throwing around of the C-word, Angel is so not the type to actually DIE to save the world.

Nothing but sheer admiration.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
"Why did Spike have to die instead of Angel?"
Hmm. Your boy doesn't understand the finer things in life.
Like Hairloaf. And Hairloaf.
And DB holding Stanley...
sigh...
Because. Spike likes MU, which is highly UNCOOL, and Angel likes hockey, which is the BEST SPORT NOT INVOLVING EQUINES EVER!!!1!
As like MU is highly uncool, it demands the death penalty. Liking hockey = 2 kewl 4 skool! And, if you are 2 kewl 4 skool, you cannot die in a school basement.
It all makes sense. Honestly. Or, you know, I'm just making excuses to not do yardwork.
I bet Angel would kick ass at curling, too.
