I actually got a new theory, after last night's Buffy. I don't like it myself :-), but just to speculate:
The First is the ultimate evil and it has that much more power because Buffy shifted the balance when they brought her back from the dead. Thats said, I think we can safely assume that to have a balance, there must also exist an ultimate good to balance the ultimate evil. Kinda Yin and Yang, one can't exist without the other. So if the First is the ultimate evil, then Buffy could be the ultimate good.
And to get rid off the ultimate evil, one (and maybe the only) way would be for Buffy to not exist anymore. (I don't want to say "die", because she died already and it didn't help. I suspect there must be magic involved to kind of kill the soul as well or something)
As said, I don't like that ending myself, but it seems kinda likely to me. It also would be logical to the whole "Buffy shouldn't even be here" situation.

Joss and Co. are really good about forshadowing events well before they come to fruition. 
Tara and Buffy (before Tara's untimely demise) had a conversation about why Spike could hit her without his chip going off. Buffy thought she had come back wrong. Tara's response was that all she really had different was the equivalent of a deep subtropical tan at a celluar level. At the time I took it to mean that whatever difference that Buffy came back with was probably cosmetic and not a fundamental difference.
However, now we are learning that the reason the First is back (and stronger than ever) has to do with Buffy's return somehow upsetting the balance of power.
Hmmmmm.
Could this mean that Buffy's demon-slayer power is somehow different from the one pre-resurrection?
Just throwing out a thought as to what might affect the final outcome....

Oh bad thought. 
Does this mean that Willow - since it was her magic that brought Buffy back - is going to have to die? 
Somebody convince me otherwise!

The International Herald Tribune has a really cool article on Buffy, The Vampire Slayer. It is a "must read"!
I am really going to miss Buffy when the series ends.

You know what I think should happen? Remember how when Buffy first died and they did mouth-to-mouth on her to bring her back to life, but the next slayer was still activated? Well what if, since Faith is the latest activated slayer, they kill Faith for a second, bring her back through CPR and activated the next slayer, which is bound to be one of the potentials.
Then kill that one for a second and bring her back too, and so on and so on until there is an army of slayer women. After all, did we ever hear a rule that only a certain number of slayers can’t exist at the same time?

All i can say is, if Spike and Buffy don't have sex by the time this show is over, i'm going to pull my hair out. LOL! i saw previews from the next episode, and Angel comes back! NOOOOOOOO! she has to be with Spike! Goodness, he's gorgeous. Whew. ::fans self::

THERE'S GONNA BE A MOVIE?! that would be awesome. i want spike to have his own show, or be on another show or SOMETHING. i don't think i could survive if i never saw him again. ::Sob::

I think they should kill Buffy off.
But that's my minority opinion. They're gonna end it happy though. I for one considered the show over when Buffy took the high dive to close the dimensional rift. I'm not a very up person.

ZOE: I wish there was another way...
DOBSON: Oh, no, no. That woman is like a dragon. I mean, I believe she has a tail. If there's any other moons we need to visit, or if we could just
fly very slowly...

Has anyone ever considered that there is one test that never fails to tell if it is all a dream, only in a very, very bad incoherent thing can it fail. This is not a very, very bad incoherent thing, so it should work.
If stuff happens where the person isn't, then it's not a dream. The only one who could see all that happens is the first, so unless you're saying that the first, or perhaps god, is the one dreaming; it's not a dream.
Anyway, there is a big diffrence between a happy ending and a happy cheery really fake seeming ending, so don't knock the posiblity of a happy ending.
Why does everyone want Faith to die? I guess that despite the fact that there is a hell in it Buffy isn't really Christian, but I thought Angel made a good point about saving souls. Faith is good now, buffy was going to let everyone die so she could prove herself right. The fact that she was right doesn't matter, she was going to let them die for pride.
Faith should live, she has earned it, just like Angel has earned it. They made a point of that in Angel, despite what she has done she has earned life, and is needed.

Buffy has to die. If she somehow got out of it, it wouldn't be fair to the mythology. And I want her to go out in a HUGE gut-wrenching blaze of glory.
Mmmmmmm.... so you are kind of going for a Xena-like ending... in which Buffy battles on and on and on until she gets her head cut off...??
Nahhhhhhh... even though I have read all the spoilers and written a few of my own... and I have seen clips of the final episode... I want it to end in a different way....
Due to the fact that there is an interference in the Slayer line... Buffy and Faith will have Willow do an intricate spell that will help in determining which one is doing the damage... which pushes the Great Witchy One into the darkness again...
Xander... whose role has been shadowed over with the potentials getting in the way... will step up to the plate and slink off to find the Evil Willow... doing his humour and attempt at being practical in the face of complete and total horror... he tries to talk to Willow... who won't have anything to do with him... She kind of wiggles her nose thing and Xander is once again tied up above the Seal ... Willow cutting him and letting his blood open the seal...
Buffy and the Gang have no idea where Willow is... or where Xander went off to... though Anya has been getting feelings ... almost a sense that he is in trouble...
Meanwhile... The First meets up with Willow... trying to convince her in the form of Tara that it was Buffy's fault for her death.... That Buffy should pay the ultimate price... The First's words influence Willow... so much so that Willow is upset from what the First is saying... and she does her dark voodoo that she do and axes the First goodbye...
Spike uses his senses to find Xander... and when he brings him back to the house... Xander barely remembers what happens... but is able to tell Buffy and Faith that Willow is unreachable ... and the slayerettes get all spooked... especially Kennedy...
Kennedy goes outside to think... stressing and straining over Willow... worrying what will have to happen if Buffy and Faith can't save Willow from herself... and Faith comes out to talk to Kennedy... its then that Kennedy realizes that she may not have been as prepared as she thought she was... but Faith bitchslaps some sense into her... Which has an adverse affect... causing Kennedy to run off...
Buffy chides Faith for that... but is interupted by Anya... who says that Xander wants her... the whole squad goes to see Xander... who says that he just wants to talk to Buffy... He knows that he has lost too much blood... and asks Buffy to relieve him of the pain... Buffy can't... she won't.... and slowly Xander slips away...
Faith comes in with Angel... who was sent for by Willow before she became the Big Evil... and they see Buffy... hunched over and crying... she sees them... and straightens herself up... Angel asks if there is anything that he can do... but Buffy brushes him aside and goes to the slayerettes... and tells them that now is the time to stand... she is tired of just talking and not doing... She doesn't care if they dont have the experience or not... because they will be getting some...
Dawn gets the "I'm too cute to fight look" and suggests that they wait since Willow isn't here... and its then that she sees Angel walking with Faith into the room... once again she gets all grumpy with Buffy's former boyfriends... and goes to her room...
During all this... Willow has opened the Seal with the help of some reluctant blood donors... and she now controls the Ubervamps... and has them surround the school... making sure that if Buffy and her troop try to attack... they won't make if very far...
When Anya finds out that Xander died... she reverts to her demon ways and hunts down The First because none of the Scoobies know that Willow got rid of it...
Buffy convinces the squad to come with her... and with weapons and Spike in hand... they all
