And the last ep was a perfect capper. A little quiet after the storm- sort of.
So cool, it was Chrisisall
Wasn't that the coolest? When I met George Hertzberg he asked what I liked about it, and I said that the combo Buffy saying:
'you can never grasp the source of our power....
but yours is right here'
that blew my mind...SO cool.
Magic vs Sci-fi, and the magic totally won.
Then the dream episode 'Restless' as the actual finale was fasinating...in the commentary Joss doesn't like to spell it out, but personally I think the cheese man dates back to when Buffy was turned into a rat (briefly) when she mentioned the "need for cheese"
and of course when she started dating Riley we were given to understand she has this love of cheese.... LOL
I still pull out 'Pangs' every thanksgiving, and I consider 'Hush' to be Joss's second greatest achievement
(I think the musical is his greatest achievement)

I did REALLY enjoy season 4 - but it's not my favourite - I preffered season 2 of Buffy - it was just AMAZING!
I'll admit season 4 is a bit more kick-ass and everything, but isn't Angelus great? Plus there's Spike and Dru and everything (although newly-chipped Spike is also fun).
I just loved season 2, what can I say?
So yeah, great, but not my favourite.
Agreeing to disagree FLF.

You know I was just watching the Season finale of S6 last night (the WB replays BtVS & Ats on Sunday nights...it is hard to resist), and I was reminded that I LOVED that finale!
Of course I was totally unspoiled for it, so everything that happened completely blew me away, but I think that that may have been the best season finale in all of the seasons of Buffy. It really used all our core characters in really interesting ways.
At the time I first saw S6 I was not yet online so it was easy for me to be unspoiled though.

I actually haven't watched season 6 in ages, it wasn't a bad season, I just didn't much like the direction the show went in after season 5 - although there are some good elements, I think it would have been better for the show to have ended after s5 - to end it on a high, as I was fairly disappointed with the season 7 finale - it's just not as good as some of the others.
I'll probably get shot for saying this, but there were really only a few episodes that I actually really liked in the last couple of seasons.
Just my opinion anyway.
vaguely disappointed FLF.

well I'll draw fire then, by saying that IMO most of the people who hated S6 & 7 were people who were wanting to watch their version of what should happen instead of the story Joss Whedon wanted to tell.
I know some people blamed Marti Noxon for S6, and certainly there were some things she imposed on the story line, but it was JW who had set the story arc and knew what he wanted to say.
Personally I think if people rewatched these seasons now (when they are no longer as attached to certainly relationships) they will find that there is a lot of humor and kick ass action in these final seasons.
I'm glad I got to see the show Joss wanted to make instead of what the fans would have made of it....
so go ahead and shoot me

Well I was under the impression that Joss was ready to end it with s5, but they were then offered the chance to do s6&s7.

Oh see, I was under the impression that Joss (and Mutant Enemy) marketed Buffy around to other stations because he really wanted to continue the story
Select to view spoiler:
S6: of Buffy coming back the hard way
S7: the sharing of power
and that after Season 7 he had reached his stopping place and he would have stopped being involved in the show even if SMG, UPN and/or Fox were dying to continue on with it....
But you can rest assured I won't take any shots at you

OK, OK, I just got misinformed then - thing is - I just wanted my favourite show to end on a high.
