After having finished S7 on the Chosen Collection, I have to say THANKS JOSS!
That smile on Buffy's face at the end was worth all the pain of particular episodes- the fact that she made it through, she won, she has a real chance at happiness, it just makes me SO glad I bought it and saw it to the end. As someone prone to a little depression now and then, this was a real lift to my spirit! At the end of season five, I was crushed, and wanted no more. But lack of Joss (and a little encouragement from folks here) made me press on.

It keeps going through my head, Buffy's last speech, the power to the potentials the world over, the end of the Hellmouth (even though there IS that one in Cleveland...), it's all just so awesome.

A better end could not have been, IMO.

Just felt the need for a positive rant

Chrisisall, who needs no pony or plastic rocket now

Without wishing to be negative...

To be fair, he couldn't have killed her because it wouldn't have had the same impact. Once is powerful, twice has its moments... three times. not so much.

But I know what you mean!

Shame about Anya

I understand, it's still Joss- some bad things were gonna happen. But all in all, a super-happy end compared to what I was expecting!

Buffy is now on par with Dark Angel (for me), never thought I'd say it(!) Chrisisall

I did love the end as well. I was scared it would disappoint. The moment with the four in the hall, ending just like "The Harvest" is perfect and pure Joss. The spell is fantastic. And the energy from the moment Buffy tells off the first and Faith kicks off all those vamps thru to the end is amazing. Your heart jumps. And there is that music you like!

Anya was the perfect death. If it was any of the core characters we wouldn't have been able to pay attention to the end. We would have been sobbing, breaking our TVs or something. When Anya was killed my heart caught in my throat and I welled up and cried out, but I could keep watching.

"I like the quiet."

Yay Chris, I'm glad you liked it! It was the perfect way to end the series, that little smile of hope.

I loved Anya and mourned her death, but it was the perfect end to her character arc. In dying to save Andrew, she performed the most human act she'd ever done.

Well, she started out having been a Vengeance demon, hard to think of Joss NOT killing her as some sort of karmic thing.
Still, she was sweet.
Poor Xander....

Yeah, I was about ready to bawl when Xander said that line about her always doing the stupid thing. I felt so bad for him.

But I agree that it was a great ending. That whole episode was fantastic. By the way, CIA, what'd you think of Once More With Feeling?

It was unmitigated genius (and I hate musicals, except Jesus Christ Superstar...).
Every note and gesture.
When Buffy sang "Whatever.", I fell over!!!

Yeah, it's become one of my fave episodes, and I'm not fond of musicals either. I even get annoyed when they start singing in my favorite Disney movies.

But OMWF was actually good. Spike's song is my personal favorite. Especially the "oh crap, I'm singing" look on his face at the start.

I did love, love, love Buffy's final smile. The first small realization of a promising future. Oh, how sweet it was.

I just finished Angel S5, and I have to say it; Buffy's finale rules, Angel's was merely excellent IMHO.
*see my Angel season 5 review thread*
I'm so sad that Angel didn't get the chance that Buffy did RE closure...

I know there's comics out, did they follow up on it?

I don't buy it, it was a story fabricated to keep Angel and Spike away from Buffy's nice, new (reasonably) normal life with Reilly...

Yeah, she's in Rome, right...not here right now, and you can't talk to her....Ooops! Just missed her....

Maybe Spike and Angel are stupid enough to fall for that crap...

But not Chrisisall
