Wenda - if Spike and Buffy did have sex in the pre-school bus scene, how does that mitigate your bad feelings about her? I know we're not going to agree, but in all other instances, I understand your points even if I know they are horribly misguided.

"Angel and Spike, The Starsky and Hutch of the Netherworld" - Albert Einstein in his speech to the U.N. Security Council, Sept., 1955.
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.
But it woulda been a lot more ballsy and gothic, with the town of Sunnydale having to pay the ultimate price in order to allow Buffy more time to go shopping for shoes.

sex in the pre-school bus scene
Cindy, The wording of this made me "ew."
Then I thought of the way that line would be handled on Sports Night.
Jeremy:"They had sex in a preschool bus?"
Natalie: "Not preschool, pre-schoolbus"
Jeremy: "Seems to be a time when preschool busses were sacred."
Dana, Walking in: "Sacred schoolbus sex? And here I thought you two were somewhat normal."
Natalie and Jeremy: "We're normal!"
Dan walks in. "Who's normal?"
Dana: "I thought they were."
Jeremy: "We are. We're normal"
Casey, pops head in. "Who wants normal, I think they're cute together."
Dana: "They are cute, it's just this sex in a sacred preschool bus thing that has me worried."
Casey: "
Sacred
schoolbus? That's not normal."
Dan: "That is not normal."
Dana: "See? not normal"
Natalie:"We're normal!"

I don't have anything to add, you guys and gals said all the good and not so good things I was thinking after I saw the episode last night. Today, though, I'm past all the continuity problems and time wasted in S7, and I'm just grateful. The finale kicked ass.
I know some people think that the slayer-awakening-montage was cheesy, but I loved it more than anything. Did any of you guys see the Domestic Violence documentary on PBS a few weeks ago? When I watched it I had an epiphany about how much our culture sucks, how the women in that movie (both the abused women and their counselors) were so fucking strong and effulgent and how everything powerful and awesome about women and men is whitefonted in America right now. Because, let's face it, women's appearance may be obsessed over in every tv show, every movie, every magazine--but our beauty is ignored.
When Buffy gave her speech it was so, just, sublime. We don't have to play by their rules. We keep doing it, but we could revolt tomorrow. One slayer in all the world never seemed practical to me. How was one girl even gonna make a dent? But one girl is easier to control and that's what the Watcher's Council and all the other Big Bads did. They made the slayer play by their rules. Until Buffy.
I'm already picturing the gang forming a Slayer's Collective. I think it's near a beautiful lake somewhere. And everyone is welcome and all knowledge is free.
