I was also really impressed with Vi - she looked so fierce!
Hands off -- she's mine! You all can have your Wes, Giles, Gunn, Xander, Spike, whatever. I get the hat girl.
Don't worry, we're sure to spot Faith first. She's like this cleavagy slut-bomb walking around 'Ooh, check me out, I'm wicked-cool, I'm five-by-five.'

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Hands off -- she's mine!Hee. I actually do remember you expression devotion before this episode, so clearly you are the One True Vi Appreciator.
I'm wondering why R***y saying that Buffy didn't love him pissed me the hell off, while I liked Spike saying it. Hmmm.

And, did anyone see Kennedy alive at the end?
She didn't make it onto the bus as it pulled away from the school. So I'm thinking no.
I love you. No you don’t, but thanks for saying it.
Man, I thought that was just about the perfect note for that relationship to end on.
The only point I really teared up (except for one random moment when it suddenly occurred that this was the end) was the new slayer montage, with the baseball girl and the others standing up and realizing their power. Pure sap, but what you gonna do? Revealing that the spell had worked just by focusing on Kennedy's face was lovely as well.

Me too! So glad no one walked by my office at that point.
And thanks for the support Ouise!

Oh - and during that montage, there was what I thought a fairly subtle shot of a woman getting up from the ground to face her... attacker? abusing spouse? Wasn't really clear, but the POV was nice -- the camera was looking over the shoulder of the attacker and the woman's face expressed a combination of rage and power.

I think in the script it's suppose to be an abusive father...

I loved that shot. She was a big girl, too, which is always nice to see.

And the smile on the baseball girl's face, and... It was just so well done, when it could have been completely cheesy. When they first cut away from the action back to the speechifying I groaned - not more speeches, plus it was already pretty clear what Willow was doing. But they really made it work.
I'll say again, Buffy's greatest burden was never being the slayer, it was being the "one girl in all the world." That's something that gets lost so easily, and it was a wonderful focus for the last episode.

Oh yeah, I loved that shot too. Gave me the good shivers.

Ten Questions with Joss Whedon from the NYT. (I think Buffistas/foamy works for registration.)
This bit made me think of you, Elena:
However, there are a couple of things I would’ve liked to have seen a little more of; either Vampire or Hyena Xander, because Nick pulls that off really well.

Thanks for all the fish.
Oh, yeah. I noticed that right off, Sue.
It upsets me greatly that Anya's body was just left there.
But is Kennedy dead? Really? 'Cause, YAY!
