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.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
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!

A person's concepts should exceed their vocabulary, or what's a metaphor?
I thought I saw Kennedy in the bus at the end. I'm afraid she survived. Ah well, at least Andrew made it through to comfort Xander. XaNDrEw4EvAh!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I noticed on rewatched (although maybe I'm slow or wrong) that Andrew lied about how Anya died. he didn't see, he was too busy. But in true Andrew storyteller fashion, he made it something wonderful for Xander-- used his imagination for good!

Our wings are not tired.
I didn't see Kennedy on the bus, but I did see her helping Willow out of the school so my assumption is she got on the bus with her.

I'm sure I saw her running after the bus as it pulled out. Lemme go check.
Nope, must've been wishful thinking.
Though in fact, I actually liked her this time round.

Sorry folks - Kennedy was on the bus with rest. Just be greatful she didn't get much play at the end.
