Wow. That was great. I honestly don’t think they could’ve pulled this season, of this series together better than they did. It was just jaw-droppingly good. What a fond farewell to the Buffyverse. I’m actually glad this is the end. I hope they don’t bring it back unless Joss and co get a really good idea, the kind they have to tell lest their heads explode from the stress of not telling it. I’m just wasting space right now so folks won’t be spoiled by the preview bubble.
So, after all this they didn’t go for the happy ending, or the sad ending, but the Butch Cassidy ending. Worked brilliantly. Praise be to Joss.
Choicest bits (besides the ending):
Spike reading poetry.
“One of you will betray me… Not you Spike”
“You kill me, a flunky? Angel kills me…”
Angel not only expecting Harmony’s betrayal, but giving her a reccommendation anyway.
“Shall I lie to you now?”
Loved it, loved it, loved it. Worked much better, IMHO, than the lackluster Buffy finale.
