I still haven't watched the last series of DS9 episodes, just reading the reviews was almost too much. I just hate watching it and realizing, "Oh, that's the last time Giles will every say, 'Oh dear,'" or "That's the last joke Xander's going to make," or "Those are the last ugly shoes that Buffy will ever wear," - it's like watching someone dying slowly.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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.

It's a remora, dimwit.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I never knew how much this show meant to me until I woke up yesterday morning aware that this was the week of the 20th and that from here on life would be a little different.
It doesn't sound crazy. I had the same thing with X-Files, which of course, had gone so far downhill by the time it ended that it had emerged on the other side of the earth, but that was a ten-year relationship. I'd been watching it since before I met my husband. It was a constant.
I don't think Buffy's hit me yet. It's not going to be pretty when it does.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove
Does tonight's episode run long?
Ouise is making me all teary with the whitefont courtesy. Nilly's quotes in Quotable made me teary. Everything is making me teary. I never expected to be this way.
Spoiler-free here. I turned last week's promo off in the middle. I now forget what I saw that made me do that.

De-lurking on this most angsty day to say that the second hour of NPR's "Talk of the Nation" will be discussing BtVS. For those of you who missed it already in your corner of the universe, I think the show will be on the NPR Web site (www.npr.org) later this evening. But then will it — or anything else — matter anymore? Sigh.
Before I go back to being mute, I just want to thank the Buffistas for enhancing my Buffy experience with their amusing yet intelligent discourse on the best. show. ever.
And let's all remember to take a moment.

I prophesize many a drunken buffista by the end of the week. Perhaps we shoud work on a Buffy adaption of an Irish folk tune? Something delightfully mournful.... Oh, Buffy Gal, perhaps?
See the depths of my misery?! I can't type or use good grammar! UGHMAGOD!

One could filk "Buffy Summers" to "Molly Malone," or alter "Danny Boy" to "Slayer Girl."

What about "Paddy's Lament"? That one's nice and woeful. ThoughI don't think an adaptation is possible until later this evening....
Smonster - I am bringing the gin and some 'ludes.

Punishingly Intricate
And let's all remember to take a moment.
Okay that made me teary. Also, buying the fixings for my last ever Buffy night special potato at the Fresh Fields last night I got all verklempt. I have a special potato for this show! Oh I'll make it again (maybe it will become Special Angel Potato!) but it won't be the same.
(for potato lovers: I bake it, scoop the insides, mix with blue cheese, mayo, dry mustard, paprika, S & P, put sliced tomatoes on top, and sprinkle it with shredded parm or other sharp, dry Italian cheese. Then pop it back in oven to get bubbly. sniff. it's a beautiful thing. like Buffy.)

Wonder if there is anything in the filk archives?

Did anyone mention that we Canadians had a Buffy marathon on Space yesterday to warm us up for the big event? They showed the top 10 viewer voted episodes from 9 AM to 7pm, ending just as the finale began. It was like Buffy nirvana.
Except for having to sit through OMWF again.
Number!
