the whole walking into his arms bit felt really OOC.
It seemed totally in character to me. He just helped save her life, she hasn't seen him in ages, she's really stressed, they kissed. I think y'all are reading way too much into it.
Nice acronym, Mom!
Buffy ,'Showtime'
Atlantic Canadian Monday Madness
[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!

Possible. Always possible.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
It was weird. The music was weird.

Just watched the Angel finale. What did that poor family do to be cursed with Connor? *shudder*
Sophia, I think that the intel and the amulet that W&H gave to Angel will be used in the finale. He just didn't have enough time to get into all that with Buffy while she was slaying Caleb.

MAL: Well my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.
Perhaps everything was real but the kiss. The kiss was just what Spike thinks he's seeing because the first is messing with his head again. (?) Besides the kiss everything else seemed appropriate to me. A little feel-good nostalgia for the second last ep.
I can't believe Dawn zapped poor Xander though. Brat!
And I think I would like to see Willow get a little "dark in the roots" (paraphrasing) in the last ep, but in a good way, if that's possible...

I sure hope this happens since they have been setting it up all season.

She used inductive reasoning and an Ad Hominem argument. And then she bit me!
Loved the axe fighting, but that axe was not an ancient, pre-Christian relic. It was made by John Deere. I suspect it may be part of a tractor.

The Angel/Buffy kiss just seemed a little too lover-like to me. These two do love each other, and they have serious history, but they're not together or even involved in each others lives anymore. The last time we saw them interact was after Joyce's funeral, and we know they met up after Buffy's return. But the vibe just seemed wrong here.
Another questionable person: Giles. JaffaCake!Giles seemed right on to me, but when he was nudging Willow towards trying to use magic to get a read on the axe it seemed kind of ooky.
RahRah, you're totally right about that axe. Hee.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The music was cheesy all the way through. Just before Buffy's entrance into the sewer, she had similar champion music. Ick.
Completely spatially disoriented here. Where was Buffy? How did she know to go there? Spike followed Caleb there? And just hid?
Whuh?

hip deep in pie
Where was Buffy? How did she know to go there? Spike followed Caleb there? And just hid?
There was a line in the Buffy/Spike scene where she said something about a crypt on consecrated/unconsecrated ground that was just kind of thrown away. I didn't really understand if it was something she knew from what Spike learned from the Monks or where the info came from. I think the writers may have fumbled there a bit.
My thing was (one of them anyway): Why did they keep calling it a scythe when it looks like an axe? Is there a type of scythe that looks like that. It was bugging me.
