I'm pretty sure this year's superclimactic finale will be a two-parter , even better than "Becoming" and "Graduation Day". (I am not counting "Two to Go/Grave", which I found depressingly anticlimactic. Season 6 was perfect up till then.) Actually, I think a 3-hour finale would be cooler, although I guess that would probably be too long. Of course Joss better write it, and--if this does indeed turn out to be the last season--the tba spinoff must be somehow prepared for.
Your thoughts?

It may be a two-parter, but even so, I've read that the episode 21 (second to last) will be written by Marti Noxon. (the problem with reading all these darned news articles about the future of buffy is never remembering where you got which scrap of information!)
So, I can't seem to find writing credits for Season 6, but for season's 1-5, Joss wrote every season finale. That bodes well for episode 22 to be penned by the man himself, especially if this truly is end of BtVS as we know it. Joss is a control freak, and Buffy is his baby. He wrote both the episodes she died in, he'll write the episode that ends the show for good too.
Hopefully the end of Buffy will mean the beginning of a new and amazing spin-off so that we will not lose all our beloved Scoobies. *fingers crossed*

Oz: The monkey's the only cookie animal that gets to wear clothes, you know that? You have the sweetest smile I've ever seen. So, I'm wondering, do the other cookie animals feel sorta ripped? Like, is the hippo going, "Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!" And you know the monkey's just, (French accent) "I mock you with my monkey pants!" And there's a big coup in the zoo.
Willow: The monkey is French?
Oz: All monkeys are French. You didn't know that?

Actually, Doug Petrie and David Fury wrote the sixth season finale. And although 21 will likely be written by MN, I doubt that they have that planned out at this point.

has marti even written an episode yet this year? I'm hoping they have suspended her or something after what she did to season 6. Joss has admitted this will likely be the last season, so if he doesn't write the finale I'm gonna be pissed. I was really disappointed when he didn't write last year's finale. And I don't think they have it planned yet who will write eps so far in advance. Just don't let it be Marti...
Drew Goddard is my new favorite non-joss buffy writer. I wish he would just write the rest of the season.
And yes, it looks like we will have a hell of a season finale this year. I can't wait.
Warrick: You didn't have to wound that man.
Mal: Yeah, I know. It was just funny.

Noxon is pregnant, or just gave birth, or something like that. She's not suspended.
Besides, Joss and the rest of the gang were all equally responsible for breaking the scripts, so they all share the blame for BTVS S6, which is something Joss has repeatidly said in interviews. In fact, the idea that people are taking this out on Noxon gives Joss a "hurty feeling."

You know what I'd like to see for the finale? A campaign. At the end of series three, there's a short section where the Scoobies enlist the help of all the other students, arming them for the big fight that occurs at the graduation ceremony.
Well how about that, but expanded? All the people they've helped over the years, calling in the favours. With Buffy assuming the John Connor role, and the other Scoobies almost having to act as lieutenants - all in order to fight the biggest of the big bads...
Select to view spoiler:
We already know that "From beneath you, it devours". I also read from other spolier sources that the big bad in Angel "comes from the centre of the earth". Also, it seems like the big bad in Angel appears in an episode or two, then disappears for a big chunk of the rest of the season (with a lot of story time from that point on devoted to Angel's return to being Angelus, contrived by the gang as Angelus has a chance against the big bad, whereas Angel doesn't).
So what if the Buffy big bad and the Angel big bad are one and the same? We also know that Faith spends time in both Buffy and Angel, and that if Buffy truly finishes at the end of this season, there may well be one or more characters that'll make the jump to LA. So it's looking like this season may be a bit crossover-heavy. Which is possible as long as there's no direct interaction, and they limit themselves to simply referring to the events elsewhere. But wouldn't it be cool to have both shows fighting the coming apocalypse in their own way? Can you imagine what sort of a fight that'd be?
Or maybe I'm just letting my imagination run away with me. Either way, both shows are really hitting the sweet spots at the moment...
Cheers,

Angelus makes a return... I hadn't read that one. It'd be interesting because he'd probably drop the whole, "My son hates me" brooding and just kill the twerp.
But what I think would be even cooler if the Scoobies, and the Angel crew had to fight together to fight this last Buffy Big Bad. Add in Faith to the fight, maybe Spike and I would be set for life.
Whatever happened to Riley, didn't he come back for an ep. in season 6? I missed that one, I think. If he's still kicking bring him back for the series finale to fight too. Hell, maybe even Oz in wolf form could lend a paw

Well, everyone else has now. I put that in inviso-text for a reason, y'know :-) If you're interested:

The juicy gossip is that they meet the big bad in an episode or two, and get utterly slapped about. The conclusion they reach is that the only way to fight it is to bring back the nastiest bad-ass they know - Angelus. Maybe he has a specific part to play, or something - seems weird that Angelus can kick its ass, but Angel can't. Anyway, the gang turn him back into Angelus, then resolve to keep him in a cage until he's needed. Only problem? He escapes (obviously), which is why they have to bring in the rogue slayer, Faith - the only local person they know who can help re-capture him. Cool, huh?
