Does anyone have any thoughts on how BTVS should end ?

This is what I think should happen: Buffy and gang fighting some big bad...they win of course, no one gets too hurt. The next day Buffy is at Sunnydale high at the school corridors, Dawn and her 2 friends walk, she smiles, and then there'll be flashbacks of her starting Sunnydale high, meeting with Xander and Willow, and the rest of what's happened since then. Before the end credits, we see her smiling. The End.

So NO ONE has ANY ideas of how Buffy should end ?

Well, all I know is that I want Buffy to live at the end, not die like Xena.

Buffy doesn't have to die, she died before...

Faith also shouldn't die, unless the are definite plans for a spin-off slayer series.

I really love that idea!

I want it to end that way! That would be a perfect ending!

I personally don't want it to end, becasue I've been there since the beginning, but I can say that I don't see it ending on a completely happy note, that's just not Joss's way. I mean he's even been quoted as not liking happy endings. But I do see all the original Scoobies living and them finally closing the Hellmouth and being able to live almost normal lives. I see Xander and Anya getting back together and maybe even Buffy getting back with a now sane Spike.....other than that, I can't think of how it could end. I'm going to stay in denile until the inevitable ocurrs. OH, but if Xander dies in the ends, I can sure as heck tell you that I'd look like this

! He's my fav character and has been since episode one so if he dies, I'll be sooooo mad!

I don't have any thoughts on what the last scene will be, but I do have ideas...

Something big will happen with Buffy and Dawn. I still have theories that Dawn is really Buffy, or at least 'part' of Buffy... so maybe Dawn will 'become' Buffy... ?

Spike will die. He'll sacrafice himself to save Dawn / Buffy. I hate to think this, I would love to have Spike live on and show up in Angel - season five possibly, but I don't think its the right thing to do. Spike should die.

Xander and Anya wont get back together. Anya will be completely gone from the show before the end.

Willow - ? No idea.

Thanks for replying, alot of people are in denial, Buffy will end, if not this season then the next. I really wanted to know what other people thought about the end you know.

So many people looked at my thread, but none, well except you replied, thanks.

I guess you're right, Joss Whedon doesn't seem to like happy endings... but I still feel Buffy and co should, they've been through so much the past 7 years...

I agree that BTVS should end on a positive note. It should be a tremendous, earth shattering, hard fought battle with success more important than ever before. But I want there to be room for the movie.

Spike die? HE's ALREADY DEAD...

He's got be ALive first before you can kill him.

If he gets dusted then he's really out of the Buffyverse, which would suck.

He deserves more respect than that. Buffy deserves a lasting relationship... Xander and Anya deserve eachother. Willow needs a job.
Giles needs a wife... and they should have some kids... we can call'em the Gilettes...

Dawn should be the new Slayer ...(is it me, or is she getting hot?) I'd like to see Spike as her new Watcher... need to go back to the basics, even if you're gonna leave off at some point... you want the fight (G vs E) to continue... so that someone else can take up the mantle... write more fiction... and movie... whatever... you can kill the characters, but not the story/../

By the By ... happily...Firefly doesn't suck... that is... I'm glad, cause without Buffy they'll be a hole in my fantasy life... so maybe it can fill the void somewhat, hoping that the Nielsens don't drop lower than a cockroaches testes...

Tonites ep, with the duel... my cuppo tea... dashing dude... derring do..

"etcetera...etcetera..."

um.. ok I'm done///

Nah. Too happy. Someone's gonna die. Most of us will probably agree on that. And I'm not saying Spoilers, I'm just thinking in terms of Joss never letting anything turn out happily ever after.
Personally, I think Xan's gonna bite the dust. He's been out of the action way too long. Time for him to do something heroic - other than save the world peacefully - and die. I love him, don't get me wrong - but I still think he's gonna die.
Spike and Buffy... I don't know. Possible he's gonna die too. I think yet again for Buffy would be overdoing it even for the show that is so over the top you try putting it into words, laugh at yourself, and then watch every week anyway.
I wanna know how Joss wants to end this. Ending for a season is one thing, but will he leave us with the Things-Are-Gonna-Continue ending, or the Everything-Is-Different ending?
And I think everyone knows by know that Eliza D's coming back. So unless she's gonna die and be Evil, then Faith's coming back. Seems she might finally die. Or carry on the Slaying. Heck, maybe they'll all die, and the world really will end. Would kinda mess things up on Angel, though.

I just spent moments pondering. Yes. The world should really end, everyone should die very heroic deaths, except for one of them, who believes something the First says and betrays the rest of them. Not Dawn. Too obvious. Who's strong, other than Buffy? Willow? hmmm... anyway, only Faith is left, and she, reformed totally, starts fresh, with a world totally rid of every influence Buffy Summers had on it. Except for Faith. And it all starts over again. Seems dramatic enough. Whaddya think?

You are strange and off-putting.

Basis for this theory is a bit spoilery about tonight's episode. Inviso-text on for comment from spoiled rotten:

Select to view spoiler:

They find out that there's a vulnerability in the Slayer line, which is why the First is attacking now. The vulnerability is some disruption caused by the Slayer. Giles theorizes that Buffy's resurrection caused the vulnerability.

So, here's my theory... Towards the end of the season, when Faith comes back, she and Buffy have the big nasty fight, then the tearful reunion. Faith admits what a big evil bitch she was, and Buffy forgives her. They fight side by side and Buffy realizes that Faith is a good slayer, and a good person.

Let's face it, they can't kill Buffy. No one would believe it. She's died two, almost 3 times, and nothing seems to keep a good slayer down. In order to get Buffy off the show without killing her, my theory is a big, powerful spell that strips Buffy of her calling.

Select to view spoiler:

This would be the only way to heal the "vulnerability" in the slayer line, which would be why she agrees to it.

She is still alive, but she's just a young woman, no longer full of slayer power. (flash back to Season 3 episode "Helpless" conversation she had with Angel about the possibility of her calling being a "wrong number".) Now that she is no longer "slayer girl" she and Dawn leave Sunnydale because she is a target for the demons that know her there. Without her powers, she can't protect herself and Dawn well enough.

This leaves us with two options for continuing on... 1) Faith is the new guardian of the Hellmouth... She's the new spin-off. 2) Faith dies in the final episode and Kennedy is called. Kennedy, Willow, Xander & Spike stick around as guardians of the hellmouth. Willow can't be watcher if Kennedy is the slayer, because I see some definite romance on the way there. That would be too weird. Maybe Xander? That would give him something to do other than fix the windows. He's definitely got enough time in the field, and I'm sure that given enough practice, he couldn't be knocked unconscious just as easily as Giles.

I don't forsee them doing anything that will impact Angel too seriously, as this show is really starting to hit it's stride. This season is the most successful they've had so far. It won't be the end of Angel.

Interesting side note... if this really is the very end of Buffy TVS, then Cordelia will be the one who has had the most episodes as a series regular between the two shows. Season 1 of Buffy, she was a season regular, even though David Boreanaz was not. (he was only in 8 of the original 13 episodes, Charisma Carpenter was in all of them.) Although, I guess she did disappear for 2 or 3 episodes last year... If she's in the show next year, she'll have had more episodes in the "regulars" list than even SMG.

(bob has too much time on her hands, obviously...)

______________
Buffy: Angel, what if I have lost my power?
Angel: You lived a long time without it. You can do it again.
Buffy: I guess. But what if I can't? I've seen too much. I know what goes bump in the night. Not being able to fight it... What if I just hide under my bed, all scared and helpless? Or what if I just become pathetic? Hanging out at the old Slayer's home, talking people's ears off about my glory days, showing them Mr. Pointy, the stake I had bronzed.
Angel: Buffy, you could never be helpless or boring, not even if you tried.

Unfortunately, I think someone's going to die, too. I just don't want it to be Spike. My sister and I had a little discussion about this and we think Faith is probably going to die so Dawn can become the next slayer.
I'm not sure what will happen with Buffy, but I think it would be really cool if the Scoobies, led by Giles, started up the watcher's council again. Then, Spike could be Dawn's watcher! He did swear to protect her to the end of the world, you may remember. (I know, a little wishful thinking there.)
I have a poll going on about this if anyone's interested in taking it, or giving me more ideas. I like the ones I've read here and may add some of them.

There are serious ideas and silly ideas. Pick the one you like best!

"Well, my days of taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle."
