[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 950761, member: 4779"] Which is exactly what they did in the Season 7 finale. I think we may be in agreement that there wasn't a whole ton of planning involved here. I always saw that whole thing as a last ditch effort to save Dawn and the world at once. Still, no plan there. Xander wakes up, takes off and gets through to Willow. Sure, Giles made it possible but it was a huge longshot and not much of a plan on his part. And I'm pretty sure Xander knew nothing about that part of it. I'll say it again that the last season and season 6 when taken as a whole don't compare to earlier seasons. There is no arguement there. I'm not trying to say that this finale (or S6's) was up there with the earlier stuff. I'm just saying that I enjoyed it for what it was. The buildup wasn't great but for whatever reason the payoff worked. If one would like to pick apart the episode, go for it. I just don't see the point. The episode was a bookend to the start of the series, had a cool battle, some regulars died, a few storylines were wrapped up and it was done well. [/QUOTE]
