[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 900658, member: 4779"] I thought it was a fitting end to the series. It wasn't the ending to end all endings, but I enjoyed every second of it. I loved the subtle references to the series' beginnings, the return of Angel and Buffy's (to me) Cookie Dough speech was a great bookend to her relationship with him and to being a Slayer in general. The D&D/Trogdor scene had me in stitches. :cool: The gathering of the Big 4 near the end was great. I wish they hadn't showed the White Willow moment in the teasers because that was a powerful scene; I enjoyed it anyway. The battle which I thought was going to be a little flat, actually blew me away. Buffy getting up from a sword to the back worked for me. She's been through worse and still kept fighting. I had little problems with the episode, but I chalk it up to a season that wasn't Season 2 or 3. There were a few (for Buffy) dud episodes in there and it seemed like the second half of the season was walking waist-deep through mud. Had the follow-up been stronger, I have a feeling that people wouldn't have such issues with the finale. Honestly, I was on my feet for the last 10 minutes. I didn't need complete closure on this show because I like the characters to keep living on in my mind. Plus, there have been talks about feature films and more spinoffs and the like. I look back on the last 7 years that Team Joss has given us with Buffy and I just smile. The highs were much more numerous than the lows and I will seriously miss this show. They ended it at the right time. Not perfect, but a fitting end. Salute! :D [/QUOTE]
