A Gossamer? That’s the big red hairy no-head-having monster from Bugs Bunny.

Yeah -- I have to admit - when I'm watching s7 - I LOVE it. The individual episodes are clever, funny, interesting -- everything we've come to expect form Buffy over the years.
Unfotunately I have to side with Finn on this one. The ending to season 5 just felt right- although I'll admit I cried (mainly 'cos i thought the show was over really -- happened again with Chosen) - but it was what should have happened. She's the slayer. Slayers die. It's sad but true (in the buffyverse of course lol).
Although - I think it's worth the slightly unsatisfactory ending when you consider that because of season 6&7 - we got OMWF, evil scary veiny willow (who i thought was pretty cool) as well as Nathan Fillion, and more Faith.
HOWEVER, I don't like what they did with Willow (TARA!), Xander and Anya, and Giles (not a season regular! althought I guess that was Anthony Head's choice).
ANYWAY. Will stop rambling now. Really I will. Now.
...and we will call it...this land...

Willow falling for Kennedy was horrible!
(that was my first thought)
Buffy kissing Angel, that wasn't fair. Poor Spike!!!

The fact you are crazy too just adds to your charm.
They did bad things to you, but you know their secrets.
They will regret how they made you.

How could season seven be saved with only three changes?
Okay. Let me try:
1. Joss could have actually run it instead of leaving it to his deputies, who are very talented writers, but without his leadship, led the show towards the mediocrity we know as television.
2. All the levels of undo that were done. A living story moves forwards. Willow's magic grows, it doesn't get put back in the box. Spike doesn't cease being a bad boy and become a wussy mommies boy again.
3. The serialization of the story was a disaster. After conversations with dead people, the series falls apart because of a radical change of format.
Obviously, it goes without saying that the endless little details like Kennedy and the potentials were a total trainwreck, but, I thought the major structural changes caused the ultimately failure of the season. Story changes alone would not save this from the vast wasteland of regular serial television.
