I'm not going to rave... though these episodes certainly deserve massive amounts of rave-age.

I will simply say that it is the most satisfying season finale of Buffy ever produced. The Wish was good, but Grave succeeded in tying up every loose end of the season. *EVERYTHING* was addressed in an excellent manner. There was a little lightheartedness mixed with massive amounts of heavyheartedness. The ending, while expected, didn't come off as cheesy... it was executed perfectly.

The heavyness/drama of the season was addressed in a perfect Buffy-verse manner... with a laugh... with hysterical laughing.

Amazing episode here... one of the best ever written... having the story come full circle.

The season ends just as it began, with Buffy crawling from the grave. The only difference: she did it of her own free will. The season will go down in history as my favorite... even with the several bad episodes.

I whole-heartedly agree. What an incredible season finale! Really, one of the best mixes of humor/drama I've ever had the pleasure of experiences. I was on pins and needles the whole episode and still in stitches...er, okay that metaphor got weird... anyway, you know what I mean.

Whoa... I've had a big revelation in the Buffy fan community tonight. Apparently the folks over at The Kitten Board are literally torn to pieces over the death of Tara. They literally feel that Tara's death was the death of a real person. They are irrationally cursing everything related to Joss Whedon and the entire Mutant Enemy production staff, and while Stephen DeKnight was a mighty big prick on the topic, it is totally irrational and unreasonable. Plain and simple. I'm sorry if any devestated contributor to The Kitten Board is reading, but this is the truth. It may be more than a TV show to them... but these characters are ficticious. Their behavior is inappropriate and uncalled for.

Buffy is a privledge, Mutant Enemy does not owe you people anything. Get over it. Her death hurt me too... *a lot*... I'm very hurt don't get me wrong, but get over it! Move on.

The season finale of Buffy The Vampire Slayer made up for what had to be the worst season of this show I've ever seen.

Dawn was annoying and *not* cute

Anya...I was delighted when she turned back to a vengeful demon,even though she still has a tad of good in her.

Spike acting like Buffy did back in season two when she was head over heels for Angel.Was enough for me to want to see an Angel/Buffy crossover so Spike can be put out of his misery.

I think Willow with her ever going to changes every season was the only thing that kept me from throwing the remote at the television.

Xander:I hope one day will finally get some back bone which he showed a little in the season finale.

Giles...it was so good to see The Watcher again!

Buffy...Sarah Michelle Gellar is one bad &*) chick

At the risk of being flamed, i've gotta say that Season 6 was by no means the worst ever, it had a logical progression, and was executed fantastically. I mean come on guys, if you can honestly give me a season on any show that has uber episodes every week then you're lying to yourselves.

The whole thing about S6 was that it was a somewhat different direction to what was expected. Sure we had 'monsters' of the week but the whole premise behind it, and indeed S5 was to show a natural progression of the characters as they grow out of the college life and into real life adulthoodness (spellcheck).

The best thing about Buffy is that it brings a sense of realism to a make believe world. If you don't want that, then go watch Dark Angel or Sabrina :-)

Roll on Season 7, and lets hope Amber Benson gets a comeback in some form or other.

Xander is the only human male on this show that acts like a girl and excuse the pun fights like one from time to time.I'm not bashing the Xander character but it's time for him to stand up to the plate,and maybe just maybe,saving Willow was also a pivoting point in Xander.
For him to finally stop running from his own problems and constant whining.
Xander did save Willow and the world but I hope they can move let his character be stronger..finally!
I would like Xander to stop having the pity parties for himself,feeling sorry for himself and finally be a man.

Now,Tara is dead and I would like to see how Willow deals with her death and killing the another human being,that will haunt her throughout season seven.

Shows that have had bad seasons:
"The X-Files"..well they had several bad seasons

"Xena:Warrior Princess" season four and five

Dark Angel:Mid way through season one..and fans wonder why FOX cancelled it?

Buffy The Vampire Slayer:season six

After a heart wrenching season five maybe my expectations were too high for season six.Or maybe Joss Whedon was just a wee bit too busy with the Fray comic books,Giles spin-off,Buffy animated cartoon...dunno..but I will be glad when he returns in season seven because season six was definately missing the midas(Whedon)touch.

Happy Memorial Day

The kitten board has been going nuts over this for months ever since the spoiler was confirmed.. the Wiccans are just as "unhappy" with the "wiccan scorned" and other statements about wicca and magic.

I only watch buffy this year out of habit but he finale made up for most of it.
