I would've liked more Xander and Giles time

I think Spike may have cost Xander time, but not Giles. They fucked him over just 'puz.

And at least they had an idea for Spike, even though I felt it got awful boring after a while. They didn't even bother to try and fail with Xander, once the wedding fell through.

All the word in the world to Ple on the B/X thing.

Plus, my added issue with it is that sometimes there's like an expectation that if the girl doesn't end up with the nice friend guy, she is self destructive or doesn't really want to be happy, etc. Even if Xander was "right" for Buffy, which I don't think that he was, she wasn't necessarily obligated to like him.

David -- was that mystical writing on that glaive?

Dunno, Sumi.

Still Funny.

Ooh man. More than one of those screencaps seriously got me allergic.

I am such a fan of Chosen. It made me love Willow after a season of not giving a crap about her that followed up three seasons of kinda straight up disliking her. It made cheer on and looove potentials that I had been wanting to violenty shove off the screen for several months. It made me have *some* love for Anya - who I appreciated as comic relief, but never really had any serious feelings for. And it resolved S/B and A/B in a way I hadn't thought of but was completely cool with - which I didn't think was possible. And funny. And heartbreaking.

And the potential power-up scene? I get chills just thinking about still. Good job, Joss.

Those screencaps are great. *sniffle* Good times...

Retroactively, I've come around to resent Spike more now than when the show was on. I would've liked more Xander and Giles time. But then again, they wasted Giles in S4 as it was.

I really resented the lack of Giles and Xander in S7. For me it wasn't a Spike issue. It had more to do with all that time they spent on all.those.damn.potentials. It was disappointing that they spent so much time on them instead the characters I had grown to love over the years.

I also wanted more closure (not the right word) but I wanted more from the Buffy/Giles relationship. At the end Buffy and Giles seemed so distant. Kinda bummed me out.

Eh, sounds like they're bonding over ouzo in Athens these days.

I don't watch Angel. Can someone tell me what's been said about what the Buffy characters are up to?

This part is the best:

"The key to drinking ouzo is to eat snacks known as mezedes. These keep the effects of the alcohol from overwhelming you and enable you to sit and drink slowly for hours in a profoundly calm state of mind where all is beautiful and life is fine."

Hmmmm.... foamy.

I thought Buffy and Dawn were in Rome. Are they in Athens, now? Kennedy and Willow are in South America and I don't remember where Xander is. My brain, she isn't what she used to be.

As I recall, Xander was in Africa. Willow and Kennedy are supposed to be in Sao Paulo, Brazil, but seem to spend a lot of time in Rio.
