I am almost eager for the end: I want to have the entire story, complete, so I can start over again from the beginning and reimmerse myself in this rich, strange world, this time knowing what the shape of the whole will be, what everything is heading towards. I don't want the series to finish-end, ever, but I have a mad desire to see the completion/fulfillment/fruition/absolute-purpose end of the story.
And in other news, I am a freak because I rate The Prom higher than either half of Graduation Day: so much pain, so much stellar acting, such beautiful, hurtful, generous writing - and, of course, an abundance of everything I love and miss most about Giles.
Teppy's book-reading "I wonder what Harry is doing now" friend is utterly enchanting.
Monterey is gorgeous, and a far but not impossible distance from both LA and SF, so Samantha really ought to take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy the company of both the LAistas and the Bay Areaistas.
And a huge WROD WROD WROD to everyone's love of the Buffistas for deepening and enriching the experience of watching this already astonishing show. The many, many iterations of this thread, the original seed of this board, have been entertaining, enlightening, and a world-class education. And the community is strong enough to live on its own, without the show that started it. What a big messy miracle!
Anyway, I'm wearing black today.
Don't feel silly. I'm wearing my Tubey "There's an apocalypse? Must be Tuesday" shirt and want to cry b/c this is the last. tuesday. apocalypse. ever.
t chokes back tears
no more Tuesdays with Smonster. A time is drawing to a close. In a way, tonights Buffy finale is a finale for a part of my life.
t can't choke back anymore
WAAAAAAAAAHHH! Samantha, this summer is all about you, me and DVD's make 3.
Smonster - I am bringing the gin and some 'ludes
Bring it!

Then you are my Freak Sistah!
Smonster: "You wanna make it right? Then when you go to Nationals... bring it. Don't slack off because you feel sorry for us. That way, when we beat you, we'll know it's because we're better. "
Samantha will seek out buffistas in "Cali." Samantha is most anxious about being that far from Boston and New York and Providence and coffee milk and all things good, gritty, locally cultured, and corrupt. But, SF is a nice town and LA has its offerings. Samantha is excited, loking forward to the change. Samantha is embracing California: Samantha bought new car.
Ahem.
Oh Buffy gal, the end, the end is coming
From set to set, and downloads far and wide
The season's gone, and all your fans are crying
'Twas you, 'twas you, without you we must bide.
But come ye back in reruns of the show
When we'll even watch those few eps that blow
Like As You Were, Beer Bad, Sprial, and Shadow
Oh Buffy gal, oh Buffy gal, We love you so.
On Tuesday nights, when there is nobody slaying
And threads dead, as dead as dead can be
We'll miss you more and more, without you playing
Except for in our fading memories
Of Oz and Will, an' Xander, Giles, and Cordy
And Tara too, and Dawn, and Spike (not Riley)
Faith, Andrew, Anya, Joyce, Snyder, and monkeys
Thank you for seven years of gracing our TVs
Thank you for seven years of gracing our TVs
That is all.
Oh, and smonster remember: Awesome, oh wow! Like, totally freak me out! I mean, right on!
oh buffy gal
broke
that's just beautiful
have a single tear rolling down my cheek
Mooooooommmmmmmmm! Plei's making us cry.
So, this morning while I was getting ready for work, I suddenly thought that I should watch Becoming -- given the limited time, I decided to just watch the 2nd half.
So good.
I think somebody last week mentioned a parallel between the Guardian telling Buffy that Axcaliber was only another weapon and Angelus taunting Buffy at the end of Becoming:
That's everything, huh? No weapons, no friends.
No hope. Take all that away and what's left?
So incomplete - - I meant to say, I think they've got something. I hope that they do.
