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

Proportion question: Who's shorter, Oz or Jonathan?
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow, I cannot believe all the Grave-haters. Grad Day was such a letdown for me. Giant snake? That's all you got? Fuck that - so lame. I thought the buildup and finale to Grave was one of the best miniarcs ever. The Gift just meant nothing to me, just felt like I was being jerked around with a fake death. Plus the whole Summers blood thing bugged me quite a bit. Worst asspull ever.
Last crypoint: Anya's death.

Everything Hec said, except I'm not sure if the whole Summers blood thing was a worse asspull than "What if we give Buffy Thor's hammer?" which just reeked of "Dude, could the Hulk beat up Superman? What if we gave him a big hammer?"
But I've mentioned my issues on this before.

Graduation Day was more than the giant snake, though. Buffy and Angel and the bite orgasm. Faith and the Mayor. Faith and Buffy. Oz and Willow having The Sex. The whole student body fighting together. Buffy quitting the Council.
Yes, snake cheesy. But that's not even what I think of when I think of Graduation Day.

Oh, yeah. That too. Out of the fucking blue.

Word.
The student rising up and making sacrifices, that last shot of them taking a moment, the beginnings of the end, Angel moving on...
The Big Snake was cheesy, but the heart was good and true.

I didn't even think the big snake was all that cheesy. Contrast with the one from Season 5.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Graduation Day was Chosen, except with less magic and more flamethrowers. Buffy Shares The Fight.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I would actually argue with the "less magic" bit of that, though I understand the sense in which you mean it. One of the problems I have with Chosen is that it dropped the metaphor in the end. The fight that the Slayers-not-in-Sunnydale were all in the girl power fight, not the fight-demonic-evil-that-often-symbolizes-girl-power fight, which was one of the central bits of the series. It made me sad that it got dropped at the end.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
Riley's plastic stake=symbol of the fact that Riley and Buffy's love isn't real. Or it might just be the lesbian thing, I actually did spit water on my pet Minotaur Roscoe.
Ita-I'm with you on the Amanda thing...Vi? Rona? What the hell?
