Last allergy moment, core four, hall...yeah...just thinking about it...damn.
Favorite moment(s) from each finale
Prophecy Girl - Angel Buffy Xander walk the walk to the theme song, "Oh look! A bad guy!"
Becoming Pt 2 - "What's Left?" "Me" THWACK
Graduation Day pt 2 - "Wanna get it back?...dick!"
Restless - (scary because they are both captain cardboard moments) "Im looking for a man...a sales man" and "We need to make a fort, I'll go get the pillows."
The Gift - Giles, everything Giles, especially the back and forth with him and Spike and the whole St Crispins day speech. And the killing.
Grave - Giles telling Anya that they have one hope left...Xander
Chosen - The final 29 minutes are pure bliss and perfection in my book. Best half hour in television history to me.
Prophecy Girl - Angel Buffy Xander walk the walk to the theme song, "Oh look! A bad guy!"
I thought the use of the theme song was really cheesy.
Last time I watched
Chosen
was last Friday and I didn't cry until Buffy's smile at the end - and I was really surprised that I did (on the upteenth viewing that is - the first time I watched I cried during the whole damn thing, though that may be in part because I had been arrested about three hours before.)
My finale order:
Becoming I&II
Two to Go&Grave
Chosen
Prophecy Girl
Graduation Day I&II
Restless
The Gift
I cried at the end of The Gift, and was completely unspoiled then, but I never actually thought Buffy was *dead*. I do remember fielding a jillion phone calls that night of people looking to comfort me because they thought she was and that the show was over and I remember sounding like a PR person for ME all night. "No, the series has been picked up by UPN. No, there is absolutely no word that Gellar won't return to it full time...."
Or The Hobbit.
Ehhhhhhhhh, I don't know. Would you ever believe SMG, AH, DS and SG ate first and second breakfast, and the elevensies? They don't eat that much in a week.
I already want to change my finale order:
Becoming I&II
Two to Go&Grave
Chosen
Graduation Day I&II
Restless
Prophecy Girl
The Gift
I love Prophecy Girl for sentimental reasons, but it doesn't stand up to the rest story-wise for me so I had to move it. My love of Two to Go/Grave is completely based on Dark Willow and "I'd like to test that theory" Giles and is in spite of the "I want to show you the world" Buffy speech.
connie, I would have loved your ending to The Gift because the whole Summer's blood thing was so lame. I still think everyone should be sitting around the Hell dimension kicking Buffy's ass because no way that sorry plan should have worked. So, I guess we all know which finale gets my bottom spot.
I'd rank:
Becoming
Restless
Graduation Day
Grave
Prophecy Girl
Chosen
The Gift
Just got my S5 DVD's. Never seen that many Buffy DVD's in one place as I did today at Best Buy. Huge display. I open them and of course I have to see who is on the discs....seriously wtf were they thinking when it came to chosing who to put on the discs!!
Giles gets no respect.
wrod. ASH=serious hottie.
(Although I sort of picture him looking over his glasses at me, saying "Is that a *good* thing?")
