*sigh* I can't believe it's over!
Thoughts:
-Dungeons and Dragons, HEE!
-Spike's death might have been a teensy bit more effective if I didn't know his name is on the credits for Angel next season.
-AUG! *screams in horror* NOO! ANYA! *insert long string of obscure colorful profanity in several languages* I knew it was coming, but I wouldn't believe it! NONONONONO! Not my Anya! Poor Xander... and they were making up! They were gonna be Anya and Xander again!(maybe anyways... just let me suffer my happy dilusions for a minute, kay?) I need to cry or kill something now. 
Methinks perhaps I should not have eaten so much pie.

My thoughts:
I kinda knew Anya was gonna get it. Poor Anya. The bunny thing was funny though. As for Spike, hearing about him on Angel, his death was a total shock. *confused*
Here's something I found really deep compared to the ending. Remember when they all go into the school and go their separate ways and only four people are left in the hallway. Who are they? The only four characters left from EPISODE ONE! I found it very symbolic expecially when they started talking. They said all the same sort of stuff they said in the first season. Then when they started walking together, and one by one they left until only Buffy was left. That was symbolic too. Whew!
Okay, what was up with Spike's dream? I didn't hear it very well. It kinda sounded like something about drowning in footwear? That can't be right.
I guess I was kinda expecting the ending to have more inpact as far as who people become. You know, going back to life and all. I think the last episode of season two was more heart wrenching.
"Did he just go crazy and fall asleep?" -Wash
"I told him to sit down," -Simon

I was really confused about the whole spike dying/moving to L.A. thing. Great graphic, confusing consequences. I have some speculation, but I'm witholding it at present.
----------------
Is it a really evil doorstop?
P.S. That drawing of Angel was absolutely hysterical!

I think we got spoiled by all his previous good season enders. Normal series don't really "conclude" it EVERY season like he did on buffy. That makes it hard to be really suprised when its the true end.
Still, I really liked it. After seeing the white haired willow in the preview I "knew" she was the one who was going to get the ammulet thing, so having spike get it was a nice suprise(as was him dying)
Why did anya have to die now? Of all the characters who could have died...why her...?

It was not only that, but a play on the end of the first episode! Ah, closure!
I was very, very satisfied. The montage of new potentials waking up to their power... Oh, yeah. I got chills.
Thanks Joss, Mutant Enemy, et al. As Willow said "That was nifty!"

Cool Whip. He was drowning in Cool Whip.
I'm tempted to look for some clever meaning. But I think he was just dreaming about ... well, drowning in Cool Whip. After all, who doesn't sometimes?

Nice ending. Buffy got something she's always wanted. She's no longer alone. Though, I suspect it will only be that way until the last one of those awakened by Willow's magicking dies. Then, the next will awaken and the pattern begins anew with only one Slayer.
And, what a way to end a series. Just eradicate the place where it happened. "There's another one in Cleveland. Smaller, though."

I have to rewatch it to be sure, but from the way they were talking at the end, it sounds as if Willow permanently changed the Slayer legacy. From now on, there are no potential Slayers. All future Chosen will be full Slayers from the moment they're ... well, chosen, whenever that occurs. Birth, puberty, whatever.

I agree. The way they were talking, Willow used her insane power to change the magic forever, not awaken the current potentials. That one girl was pretty young, so prehaps they're chosen at birth?
