1)that it had to end at all...though I've made peace with it, I'll always long for a live-action continuation in some form.

2)that it had to end without the slightest glimmer of hope of a Buffy/Xander union.

3)TV movies and animated series being dead in the water.

4)Kennedy wasn't killed off. Rona surviving too.

5)That Buffy never found out that Connor existed. That could've been an INTERESTING conversation, since she and Angel once talked about him being unable to have them...and for her to find out about Darla of all people being the mother.

My GOD! I thought I was the ONLY ONE!!!

Seriously, I thought the B/X shippers had all given up in despair years ago. I would have loved to have seen Xander get the girl in the last season. It would have completed his story nicely.

EDIT: What rumour about the comic? What rumour about the comic?? What rumour about the comic??? WHAT RUMOUR ABOUT THE COMIC???? TELL ME!!!!

I'll second that one!!!

I used to be so obsessed with Buffy/Angel it took me literally until "Into the Woods" (Xander's speech to Buffy) to get on board with Riley. Enjoyed Spike's attraction/love for her, but I can't remember ever wanting them to actually go there. One night stand, sure, but not so much couple-y. I can't even remember at what point I started rooting for Xander, but believe me when I say it's an unwavering thing for me from here on out. There will never be better match for her than Xander!!!

Well, I'd always fancied Xander myself, so that meant I was interested in him from the start. For me, I thought it would be great for Buffy to end up with the genuinely nice, soft hearted, normal guy. I'm a sucker for good guys that way. The bad boy thing does nothing for me.

Which brings me back to an earlier post about Xander being "immasculated." I don't think he was. I can understand how it could seem that way since of the main four characters he was the gentlest and the most emotional - unusual for a guy in any show! That doesn't make him weak or imasculated, it just makes him a gentle, emotional guy. Those very qualities are what helped him reach out to Willow in season six when physical strength and magical power failed.

comic rumour spoiler (if it's true)

Select to view spoiler:

ok, well I heard this on the uk site, and I'm not sure where it came from, but someone said buffy and xander get together (or are already together? though that would seem a bit quick) in the comics.

lots of people were like, NOO, THAT'S HORRIBLE, and I must admit, I had a moment of wtf? but thinking about it it makes perfect sense, they've been through so much together.

someone said that the idea is that now buffy's mature enough to be with a guy who would be good for her, which I think is really sweet... I could see them being together a long time, in a solid, stable way

but we'll have to wait and see, it might be complete rubbish made up by someone...

I also don't think xander was emasculated, it's not emasculating to be sweet and sensitive (most of the time, I mean he had his testosterone fueled moments). the idea that to be a man you don't have to be all grr is an important one, and part of the equality the show is sposed to be about...

Yeah, Xander did have his grr moments. After all, his first reaction when Spike slept with Anya was to reach for an axe - and this was after he'd left her at the altar on their wedding day!

Oh please let those comic spoilers be true! Not only would it be seriously cool, but I really want Xander to have the happy ending! After all, he had a seriously sucky childhood. He deserves it!

It took me awhile to accept the thought of anyone but Angel being with Buffy, even though personally, my favorite character overall is Xander (with Willow a close second). He's always been the type of guy I'd choose for myself, but for Buffy, I was into the whole soap opera-y romanticism of her relationship with Angel. I'm still not sure where it started, but even now, looking at the episodes again, all I see is how great he is for her. I know Joss has had this thing with Buffy having to have that as one of her flaws, to 'target the impossible relationships.' But he's her strength (!!!) and it's long past time for her to see him as he deserves to be seen.

It's unlikely that Buffy and Xander get together in the Buffy season eight comic, as Andrew says in 'The Girl in Question' that Buffy is with The Immortal...

Still, I also like the idea of Buffy/Xander...I'd have loved to see Spike and Angel's reactions...

i havent watched the show religiously yet, but with everyone thinking that Xander and Buffy getting together in the last season "completing" the show, do you think that possibly Joss wanted a REAL ending where the guy doesnt get the girl?
