I think "Gift" was a flawed finale to a problematic season, but I still cry at the swan-dive and the aftermath. Acutally, I think most of that is Chris Beck's infernally heartbreaking score to the episode.
Vonnie is dead to me.

was it you who suggested that AMENDS was essentially the first episode of ANGEL the series?
I know it wasn't me, but I like this idea. It certainly was the end of B/A (though it would end again in The Prom, and again again in IWRY, and for a third time in the Buffy finale, and possibly for a fourth time in The Girl In Question.) And it helped establish Angel, and not just Angelus, as an interesting character.
ANGEL: I can stay in town. As long as you want me.
BUFFY: How's forever? Is forever good for you?
Ahem. I hate to interrupt, but could y'all just move over to the next cemetery? It's over here:
