So what do y'all think? I liked certain bits but I found myself very unsatisfied at the end. Disclaimer: the following ocmments could be perceived as serious bitching.

I liked the way in which Anya died. Very brutal. Don't get me wrong - I liked her character, but its always good to see a few main characters bite it at the end of a show for dramatic impact. I feel that more should have gone though.
I like how Spike turned into a living bomb. Spike has alwasy been one of my fave characters. Still, his exit seemed a bit too rushed. The scenario also makes us wonder if W&H wanted Angel to use the amulet so that he would get himself killed in the process.
And thats about it for things I liked.
Angel's appearance was no more than a cheesy cameo which was of great dissapointment.
A lot of the dialogue seemed forced and there was generally bad acting all around. The going shopping dialgoue was awful and everyone seemed pretty underwhelemed, especially Xander considering the death of Anya, by the end of it all. (And don't give me theories about being in shock.. it was just plain weak)
But the worst part of it was that there was no closure at all with the First or with Caleb! Nothing was said or answered about either of them. Rather it just came down to a boring fight with a bunch of half-assed ubervamps. So all of those useless lead up episodes are made even more useless. Caleb is nothing more than another gimp being led around by the nose by some unknown force rather than an interesting character that could have been fleshed out. And the first evil? Well, not much power there after all.
Anyways its early and thats all I have to say for now.

Yes, I loved the scene and how at first you think they're discussing tactics for the coming battle. Great scene. Andrew was definitely a positive addition to the cast in the final days.
