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.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

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.

Yeah, I suppose for most people in the English speaking world the end of Buffy is something that happened quite a long time ago. For me it happened last night at around 12:20. After globe trotting (not nearly as exciting as it sounds) for the past three years I've contrived to never be in a country when they were showing season seven. And then on Monday after months and months of waiting (the VHS editions came out in the UK back in September-ish) I finally got my DVD after it had winged it's way across the Atlantic... (and now I have a cute little mental image of a little silver disc with white angel wings above the ocean). I guess after waiting this long to see the final season, I can at least brag about having all the DVDs before the Americans.
I thought it was a pretty good season to end with. I really liked the ending of Chosen when Sunnydale is nothing but a great big hole in the ground. The big ubervamp fight scene was also pretty cool, although I thought the ubervamps looked a little too similar to some of the stuff from Lord of the Rings. Sadly, my spoiler avoidance tactics over the last year didn't prevent me from knowing about Spikes death.. so I was just waiting for it to happen while I watched, which wasn't ideal.
I agree that it's a shame the last two seasons didn't have very much Giles in them, I missed the gravity (I think Joss's description) that he gave to the show. But at least he got to play the almost bad guy this year. I would have liked to have seen a truly evil Giles at some point, I think he would have made a pretty cool villian.
I really don't understand all the Kennedy hating. Sure Tara was this wonderfully nice, kind character, but gotta move on and all that. (Also think it was a pity that AB didn't come back to taunt Willow et al in person... or at least in incorporeal form). But Kennedy wasn't so bad... besides she was hot.... okay fairly easy to please here.
Um... I was going to say a couple of other things...um... oh yeah. The one thing that was truly appalling with Season 7, was the potential with the Dick Van Dyke accent. I'm not quite sure which one it was as I was physically wincing every time she spoke. Did she die? Or just stop talking so bloody much. I think I'm going to have to start my own Campaign for Realistic English Accents on Television over 'Ere, or CREATE. Urggghhh.... (that's the sound of my goat getting up).

Just wanted to say, wrod with wrod sauce to the people talking about how the writers were sick of Buffy by the last season. I mean, all that stuff about 'We're going to make her proactive, cause people are tired of the moping', and then to turn her into pompous speech girl? that's their idea of Likable!Buffy? Sheesh.
Oh, and what would have redeemed season 7 for me? After Buffy made that big speech about taking the fight to the First, they should have attacked. Got geared up, come up with a plan, gone in there and kicked butt. Then spent the rest of the season on character stuff.
