Buffistas

Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

And ultimately, there was all the "Huh?" when ubervamps were dispatched like so many lemmings.

In hindsight, I assume that the First Evil was supercharging its initial übervamp just as it did with Caleb to make it more than a match for Buffy. The line that it was in "remission" after its plans via the übervamp failed would tend to lend credence to this, as I can't quite see the grief from its death alone being enough to keep the First from pressing the fight.

Also, the Slayers had a very sharp magically unbluntable weapon with which to cut off the vamps' heads in the finale, and presumably their experience playing keepaway with the last bag of oreos while crammed 20 to a room in the Summers house helped immensely with passing it effectively from wielder to wielder.

All is well that ends in pizza.

That and they did the "Slayer Powers—Activate!" spell, Matt.

I saw no evidence of Buffy or Faith getting enhanced, or any of the other Slayers being called with more than the standard amount of power. And you know Faith would have said something if she'd felt any stronger than usual.

The evil is this way?

Well, the Slayers did have some advantages. Like, they had the high ground. Plus, they knew the writer.

On rewatch, my favorite things about S7 as a whole are Andrew, Anya and Principal Hottie.
