I'm going to be contrary and say I liked almost nothing about either Grave or Chosen. Chosen edges out Grave for second to last place largely due to the fact that Spike died in it. Also, no yellow crayon speech.

I liked Chosen for resolutions more than for the execution (or the build). I like that it ended with Buffy sharing her power. I did like the execution of the scene with the foursome in the hallway, and how they parted in reverse order of how they'd met, and the Buffy/Xander hand touch made me tear up.

Grave? I was mostly glad the season was over. I didn't hate six, but it was a hard season, and it was a hard season to live out in fandom, too. I think I liked a lot of Two to Go, so I'd have to go back and see which things happened in which episode, before I said too much. I thought the Willow wants to end the world thing was over the top. I didn't even care for Aly's acting. I didn't mind the yellow crayon speech. I was glad Xander had something. It (the episode) just felt like a bunch of parts stuck together, though.

Jess, yeah, but...

La. La. La. I. Can't. Hear. You. thhhhhhhhhhhhhhpppt!

The Gift made me cry. It was the last thing in BtVS ever to do so. Buffy the character came back to life, but for me, the show never really did. So The Gift gets a pass.

The Gift made me cry for days and days. The kids caught me the morning after, and asked why I was crying. Scott told them that Buffy died. Julia was 2 and a half years old. I remember her patting me on the bum (because that's what she could reach) and saying "Mommy, I torry Bucky died."

edit he to her

I'm such a Xander fan that I rank Grave over The Gift. I mean, yellow crayon speech nonwithstanding, he got to be less of a buttmonkey. I watched Two to Go/Grave in Spanish, tho, so I probably missed some of the finer points.

I should not have been chanting "jump! jump!" and yet I was.

Me too, while my husband yelled "Throw Dawn in! Throw Dawn in!"

Buffy and Faith on the porch after Buffy gets kicked out, was, I think, the last thing on Buffy to make me cry.

Raquel: SNERK! I feel less jaded now that I'm not alone.

Restless, Becoming, Graduation Day, Chosen, The Gift, Prophecy Girl,Grave.

Last four subject to change without notice.

What makes "The Gift" for me is the opening Previouslies. The rest of it doesn't wow me, but those Previouslies ...

Prophecy Girl, Becoming, Graduation Day, The Gift, Restless, Chosen, season finales of random TV shows I don't particularly care about, Grave

The Baseball!Slayer was the most recent to make me cry.

Becoming, Prophecy Girl, Restless, Chosen, Graduation Day, Grave, The Gift.

I just couldn't get behind The Gift knowing that Buffy would be back the following season. I really wanted Dawn to jump.

The last moment that brought me close to tears was Giles, Buffy, Willow, and Xander standing in the hallway of the school in Chosen.

Amanda was the last thing on Buffy to make me cry, just about every time.

t /no surprise

Proportion question: Who's shorter, Oz or Jonathan?
