Hur hur! Am sitting at my desk at work laughing my arse off - very funny indeed!!!

Agree with pretty much everything said above but to clarify:

1. No potentials (which rules out Kennedy straight away)

2. As mentioned above, Buffy's wish brings Tara back ("look at my new shoes"! - ah, I'd have been in tears if that had happened).

3. Xander would not betray Buffy. I hate that a few episodes previously he was telling the Potentials how much she deserved their respect, then he too turned his back on her. Yes, I know he lost his eye so was in a grumpy place but all the Scoobies made sacrificies over the years, some physical, some emotional. I just hated that whole storyline where they turned against her.

3. Willow giving girls slayer powers. Buffy's unwilling to sacrifice some of her own humanity to save the world when the Shadow Men try and force it on her, so instead she forces it onto a bunch of girls she's never met.

2. The First. "Argh, we're being attacked by a bratty concept with emotion" Caleb should have been the big bad the whole way through.

3. "We're going to march into the seal and THEN get Willow to give you girls slayer power."

Unlike a lot of people I really would have hated Tara to come back, not because I don't love her but all of season 6 is about how bringing people back from the dead is BAD, Buffy knows this better than anyone. For her to not respect Tara and bring her back, no matter how it's done, gets rid of the only real bit of development Buffy had in the last two years.
I actually really liked the fact they turned against Buffy, I thought it was about time that someone questioned why Buffy was in charge and the fact that maybe someone else should be. However, I thought Giles should have replaced her rather than Faith.

1. Buffy wakes up in the first ep of S7 to discover S6 was all just a crazy dream.

2. Um, that's it.

But that would mean no singing!

Plus she'd still be dead....

I could go on forever but 3 things:

-No potentials. Or at least not as characters, the concept is ok because it allowed for Buffy to finally be relieved from her duties.

-Return of Oz! He used to make Buffy so great, and I can just see a great Willow/Oz story- willow's gay but Oz loves her. It's been done before but I know it would have worked great on Buffy, the relationship would have been beautiful.

-More Xander. I would have rather had him evil (controlled by the first) than in it hardly at all.

I would change just one thing:

1. make the Potentials accents better.

1) A little less talk, a little more action, please. There was a lot of pretty speechifying about how it's time to fight to the bitter end blah blah blah, which was often followed up with MORE talk rather than actually fighting.

2) No Angel in the finale. He's shoehorned in there and they could've come up with another bridge to get Spike onto the other show. I think the pacing of the season would've been better served by Angel coming in earlier, to help fight the uber-vamp.

3) No Caleb. As I understand it, Caleb was an add-on part written for Nathan Fillion after "Firefly" was cancelled. My impression is that, without the introduction of Caleb, Wood might've become the First's "hand", which I think would've been a more interesting arc. Don't get me wrong, it was fun to see Fillion all morbid and creepifying, but I thought Wood was a character with great potential who was largely wasted in the third act of the season.

Honorable mention: Better death scene for Anya. I thought they did the best they could with the time alloted, but she was such an important character throughout the series that I thought she deserved a little more attention.

As an aside, I am, apparently, the only Buffy fan who liked Kennedy.

1) Move storyteller to season 6 (it was the only good ep of the season).
2) Magically remove season 7 from existance
3) Rejoice.

1.) No Kennedy/Willow relationship. I don't care if she's around, but the two don't work together.

2.) More explination. The end of conversations with dead people was great. Buffy's mom gave a nice ominous message, but it never really materialized. I really wanted to see Buffy betray Dawn in a big way. Not just sending her away for her own good. Buffy's mom would never have warned Dawn about that. Then there was the whole reason the First chose to attack then. In the episode with the big eye thing that Anya and Giles talk to there's a hint at why he's attacking, but it's never totally explained. In fact the explination seems contradictory. They say it's because of Buffy coming back from the dead still a slayer or something. Well that would mean now is the worst time to strike because there are two slayers instead of one.

3.) Either have Buffy and Spike get together or have them just be friends. The whole relationship just out of reach thing the entire season was annoying.

Also, I really like the mention of Willow making the First corporeal. What I really would have liked though was for this to have been the First's plan all along. Have the First hint at it's strength being that no one can kill it. Have the gang slowly figure out a spell that will make the First corporeal. Then when they finally pull it off in the finale, have the First be far too powerful for them to fight and have it kill Buffy. Possibly let the First get away or have Willow and the others seal it away somehow. Either way it would have been cool to have them end up unleashing the big bad rather than stopping it.
