I'll second that.
Angst can be cathartic (sp?)...

Um, Buffy just sacrificed herself for her sister and the world. The show ended up with everyone crying and a picture of Buffy's headstone at a Grave Yard.

Death doesn't mean much to superbeings. You shoulda learned that by now. 
There are two more seasons to go, the show's still called Buffy the Vampire Slayer, not Buffy is Dead so We're Just Watching Her Friends Sit Around.
Like always, they'll explain everything eventually so keep on watching!

And I'm here to tell you that like YOU, she's not gone. And like YOU, she still won't have it easy. And like ALL OF US BROWNCOATS, she keeps flying.
Keep watching, RiveR, we're here for you.

Well as far as I'm concerned, Buffy Summers is dead. She died a heroic death for the sister she swore to protect, and of course, the world also got the benefit of being saved just for being there.
I sort of gathered that she had to give up her life anyway somewhere along the line when she had a conversation with that 1st Slayer out in the desert. "Your Gift is death" That screamed sacrifice. I just had to figure out when and where.
I'm going to put the brakes on seasons 6 and 7 because by bringing Buffy back to life is a script, direction change that I would compare with what they did with the new Battlestar Galactica. By having everyone colonize New Caprica, and then having the Cylons show up, and its one year later, with Baltar as the new President. It throws the story in a whole new direction.
The Buffy that jumped off that tower to save her sister will always be the real Buffy Summers to me. It would have been perfect if they had ended the series at season 5 I might come back to this some day, but I don't want my image of the 1st 5 seasons of Buffy wrecked.
Angel died and went to hell or whatever and look what happened to him when he came back....he was insane for a while. I don't want to see Buffy insane. And even if she came back, there is no way that she could be the same person.
Also, the way Spike was snivalling when Buffy died, its clear to me that at some point in the next 2 season's, he's going to get a soul like Angel. And Willow, I bet you anything Willow is going to be a problem down the road. You don't go from nerd girl to super witch without a little being drunk with power showing up in the mix. This is so predictable at this point regarding show directions. They should have ended this thing at season 5.

Fine. Give up now that Buffy's dead. That's what I did, I needed some space. I was afraid that 6 and 7 would ruin it for me.
And then I wanted more Buffy.
And to my surprise, six made her all the more understandable and 'human'. And seven is one of my favourite seasons...but Grounded would say I'm a little twisted for that opinion....and I am, I'll admit...
Are U?

But like Embers, I say NO!
If it had ended there, I would not own all the seasons, and it would be in my memory as still a poor second to Dark Angel.
Seasons 6 and 7 are what brings it up to being Dark Angel's equal, IMHO.
(I think Embers would place it above DA, but that's another thread...)
