I'm going to have to dash as soon as DH reports he has the kids down as I am going to rewatch then.
Why the yelling Sophia?
Also, one of the few times Andrew didn't annoy.
Yeah. He's my hero.

[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!

I think it might have been great if I had been more invested in the season. There was some really nice stuff, but there was also some really lame stuff. And now that we know something for certain, the rest of the season just bugs all the more.
A cool idea for dealing with the First, but even Joss must have had the midseason blues with the retconning of the Uber-Vamps.
So how much are we allowed to talk about her in Monday Madness? Has everyone in here seen it yet?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Not yelling as in I was unhappy-- just in suspense! I think I said I Love You seceral times. I really didn;t cry, though....
Did y'all notice how Joss gave every shipper a little acknowledgement, even xander/Andrew....

Tis my understanding that we are free to discuss the episode as soon as the Atlantic Canadian's have seen it.
My first thought, Jeff is getting off easy this year with the previously compared to last year!

I was convinced that Xander was going to hug Andrew! No doubt the comforting is happening now.

the retconning of the Uber-Vamps.
How so? Because they seemed easier to kill?

I thought that was a little bit of an asspull. I know Anya had that little tlak where she explained to the potentials the best ways to kill the ur-vamps, but the first one really took Buffy to the mat, it seems like it should have been harder.
Overall, I liked it. They went out with a good episode.

Maybe only the first one was an uber-vamp. The rest were sub-uber. t /wankorama

Yeah, all of a sudden the Uber Vamps are a bunch of wimps that go down if Anya scratchs one with her nails. Maybe there was a little Dues Ex Machina explanation which I missed, but it was always dumb to spend what seemed like a dozen episodes dealing with the first Uber, so I blame Joss not a whit for dumping that aspect. It just sort of highlighted what I missed throughout the season, the corners and silliness he had to try and write his way out of or ignore.
But I liked the every girl a slayer ending, and I liked that the First actually wasn't winning and all it took was for Buffy to recognize that, both in the beginning and in the end. The only flaws in the show were deep seated ones that go back months. Things Joss couldn't have dealt with without a time machine.

Haven't seen yet, but I want to make one point. There were only two Ubervamp eps.
