I advise people to run--not walk--to the TWOP forums to check out today's banner ad. Warning: have kleenex handy and avoid drinking while reading.

That's awful. Prayers and good wishes.

Yesterday, I had my OMWF cd playing as I was cooking dinner. I started crying during Where Do We Go From Here. This was the legal cd, so you hear the full song - iow, it doesn't cut out when Spike says, "Bugger this."

Then, of course, it goes into the kicky, instrumental reprise of WDWGFH, you know what I mean, the chipper version, that's typical of music played while the final credits rolled during 50s TV shows. I've decided that I'm going to cue that up and play it after the finale airs (you know, while I'm sobbing hysterically), before I come and post.

I was wishing I'd set a sort of sum-it-up viewing schedule for myself over the past week or two. Of course it's too late now, but I was trying to decide what episodes I would have included, had I thought of this sooner. If free time weren't an issue, I think I'd have watched:

S1  WTT/TH
S1  Angel
S1  Nightmares
S1  Prophecy Girl

S2  WSWB
S2  School Hard
S2  Surprise/Innocence
S2  Passion
S2  Becoming

S3  DMP
S3  Revelations
S3  Lover's Walk
S3  Amends
S3  Helpless
S3  Graduation Day

S4  Fear Itself
S4  Wild At Heart
S4  New Moon Rising
S4  The Yoko Factor
S4  Primeval
S4  Restless

S5  Family
S5  Fool For Love
S5  Checkpoint
S5  Intervention
S5  The Gift

S6  Bargaining
S6  Once More With Feeling
S6  Tabula Rasa
S6  Smashed
S6  Seeing Red
S6  Two to Go/Grave

S7  Lessons
S7  Beneath You
S7  Selfless
S7  Conversations with Dead People
S7  Storyteller
S7  Lies My Parents Told Me
S7  Empty Places
S7  End of Days

Of course, now time really is an issue. If you take out for sleeping, showering and eating, (never mind the care and feeding of the family), there aren't even enough hours left. So tonight, I think I'm going to try to watch both Prophecy Girl and End of Days. I did just recently watch Becoming and caught part of GD on Fx, by happy surprise.

I'm going to miss my show. I'm going to miss it terribly. I think it's going off the air at the right time, at the end of the right storyline, but I feel like a friend is dying.

mikal - Anne meant the end of Buffy ad in the forums, not the Emergency Broadcast thing on the fire (which, I agree is awful, and it's nice that the TWoP people are helping out that way).

it's nice that the TWoP people are helping out that way

Amen. I have no doubt that we Buffistas would do the same for one of our own. I just hope we never have need to do so.

Thanks Cindy .... going back for another look.

Now I'm confused ..... anyone have a link?

Hey .... I got a nummer ..... whee.

When you go to TWoP, click on the link in the upper right hand corner, for forums, then click "Buffy". When the Buffy forum page comes up, you'll see the ad.

So I finally snapped at the Looniversity's ongoing Buffy group. Not that I've ever attended or anything. But hey, as I told them, it's my very last chance ever to say "People! It's JOSS! and XANDER! Not Josh. Not Zander."

Ferfucksake, these people are professional scholars. They should know to get these things right.

Yay! amy! Battling for the Scoobies, 'til the end. Gen'l Buffy would be proud.
