'Dirty Girls'
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.
My list of finales from best to least best (they're all very, very good episodes of any TV show):
Becoming II , Restless (although if we're talking about "final battle w/ the Big Bad" episodes, I would rank "Primeval" the lowest) , The Gift , Grave , Graduation Day II , Prophecy Girl , Chosen
I just love the joining spell in Primevil.
Becoming, Restless, Graduation Day, Chosen, Prophecy Girl, Grave, The Gift.
(Yes, the Gift, despite the fact that I cry at the fucking music, goes last.)
Okay, I've just got to be totally a contrarian:
The Gift, Chosen, Restless, Becoming, Graduation Day, Prophecy Girl, and Grave.
And often Becoming and Graduation Day will reverse position on any given day depending on my mood. The rest are pretty immutable.
Becoming, Restless, Graduation Day, Chosen, Prophecy Girl, Grave, The Gift.
Pretty close to my list, but Grad Day gets docked for use of giant snake which is always a bad idea in the Jossiverse, yet he just couldn't resist.
Joss, next time? Resist the snake.
Also I love Grave very much and would rank it behind Becoming Pt. 2. Though that is in part some of the oomph I got from watching Two to Go.
The Gift is last for me because I knew Buffy was coming back. It's not a bad episode for all that and Joss certainly made her earn her resurrection. But for me it totally undercut her death. Death oughta mean something narratively dammit.
Jean Grey shoulda stayed dead, and so should everybody else who got jerked back into the living and corporeal.
Joss, next time? Resist the snake.
Joss tosses the Ourobouros Firefly script.

What about giant snake in Grave?
Oh. Wait. That was a penis temple. Never mind.
For anyone who cares, if you buy S5 of Buffy at Best Buy you get the movie for free.

Temples do usually have spires.
However? They seldom have naked women wrapped in snakes for decoration.
At least not in Minnesota.
Okay, maybe not in the Twin cities. Outstate? We'll see.
Any state that has several Paul Bunyans, a huge concrete Otter, A concrete Loon, a 40 ft Viking, a concrete Prairie Chicken, and a huge ball of twine....
Joss, next time? Resist the snake
This makes me worry if they ever adapted Fray. He couldn't resist the giant snake there either.
Is Joss trying to tell us something, or is it his unconscious?
