Yes, yes, yes! That's why "Empty Places" pissed me off so much. I was ready to take an Uzi to the entire Scooby gang, even Dawn. It was a worse breach of faith than them pulling her out of Heaven in S6.

This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.

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
If Buffy didn't want them to treat her like the Lord High Savior, she probably would've been well-served to say something to that effect at some point, rather than issuing smackdowns every time anyone else popped their head up. I mean, I sympathize with the situation she was in, and I know her intentions were good, but by the time we hit Empty Places I was convinced that had I been in the place of any of the other folks on the show I'd've stopped listening to her weeks before.
I mean, I was angry with her. Furious with the way she was behaving. And Buffy was my girl, I'd loved her best for years.

and it didn't become clear until pretty late that S7 would be the last.
not true, actually. Joss always said that buffy would have a 7 season arc.

X-post from Angel thread
I just saw this info on the Headline News ticker. I found the article on ScifiWire: Buffy/Angel TV Film Possible?
The WB has approached Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel creator Joss Whedon about doing at least a movie-of-the-week or two?and possibly as many as six?next season, thanks in large part to a fan campaign organized by Saving Angel, E! Online's Watch With Kristin column reported. But the columnist added that, despite Herculean efforts by fans to save the canceled vampire show, Angel won't be coming back as a regular series, either on the frog network or on UPN or Fox, which have both passed.
"I think a Buffy movie is more likely to happen now," Angel cast member James Marsters (Spike) told the columnist. "And they may be given better budgets, seeing this kind of interest, because there's a feeling that there's a guaranteed audience. So the effort that I've seen, it is not in vain."
Meanwhile, E! Online reported that The WB executives have decided to review an episode of Fox's canceled fantasy series Wonderfalls along with its pilots, which means it is in the running for a fall-season pickup.
Interesting news if it pans out. I guess you just can't ignore this fandom. </Alex Forrest>

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh my God, "Life Serial" is the longest episode ever. It lasts like fourteen hours. Was all of Season Six really this boring? Wow. Maybe I was in a better mood.

Life Serial sucks. But I won't hear bad things about Season 6 cause it gave me Buffy, and changed my life.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Bah. I love "Life Serial," in all its camp, giddy glory.
Mummy hand!
Kitten poker!
Magic bone!
Good times, good times.

Yes. Yes. Oh my god, it got worse. I wasn't, I was like, what have they done to my show, someone must die.
But I couldn't count on getting any Buffy!channels in maximum security.

Also with the Life Serial love. For all the reasons mentioned plus the drunk!Buffy vs. wimpdemon!Jonathon fight.
The mummy hand with the tongs?! Comedy gold!
Buffy gagging every time she has a drink whether it's on screen or off? Hee-larious.
"Be free kittens!"
Ahh - I'm laughing just thinking about it.
