'Objects In Space'
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.
bigness of action, Buffy, all on her own, outrunning the implosion and leaping tall buildings in (almost) a single bound is literally larger.
Sure. But it's not an action that defeats the villain of the season or Its minions, which is why I consider it "denoument" rather than "climax."
Emphasis on the *I*, because while denoument and climax may have objective definitions as ideas, pinpointing their occurences in individual works will always be a somewhat subjective endeavor.
I liked the end, with Buffy just smiling. It had the feel of Scarlett at the end of GWTW saying, "I'll think about it tomorrow" (or whatever exactly it was). Buffy is in a good place for her emotionally. Spike's question in "Beneath You" has finally been answered and, yes, they can both rest. (In peace in Spike's case, sniff).
Well, is the FE even dead? I doubt it. Just it's current plan is spoiled, and now it's a much bigger problem to go around trying to pick off the slayers. Spike didn't really have much to do with that, he just took out the immediate threat - the hellmouth. Not that that's nothing, but not necessarily the be-all-end-all. And of course, he had nothing to do with making Caleb biscectual. In a sense, it was Willow who was the big hero, if it was anyone.
Wasn't part of the point that it's not about THE Hero anymore? There's plenty of heroic to go around, some of it big--Spike--and some of it small--Anya--but none of it meaningless.
Yes, Burrell, exactly that. Which is why the FE is mostly frelled.
Exactly Burrell, we're all heroes of our own story. Seeing all the potentials coming into their own power shows us that. They may not know about vampires and demons, but they know about their own personal demons and that they now have the power to triumph over them.
And when my army outnumbers the humans on this earth the scales will tip and I will be made flesh.
By destroying Caleb (current source of bringers), the Uruk Hai, and the Hellmouth, I think she's dented his plan.
And her army is much more able than before.
Well, is the FE even dead?
I don't think that you can eliminate evil from the world.
I had another point, but I can't remember it. Move along, nothing to see here.
Just looked at the picture of Xander. I didn't realize Anya was on his blind side. He'd have seen her otherwise.
Or, in other words, (*sob*)
