Buffy Series Finale Tonight
roothog writes "I just finished watching the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, an episode that sparks with the writing of Joss Whedon. Strangely, there weren't any commercials :). One of the best written shows on television comes to an end tonight in North America. A very accurate script summary is available for any spoiler-seekers. I'd suggest skipping the spoilers: it's worth the wait...for a season 7 episode..."
This is the season finale. I'm curious to see how they will incorporate nathan fillian leaving for outer space though to run a smuggling ship. Firefly was a buffy spinoff wasn't it? I can't wait for season two!
I am insomniac and watching Buffy is one of the only ways to fall asleep instantly!!
...by not adding anything. Guess we learned something from the "Lone Gunmen are dead" fiasco? ;)
What? Yeah, they're dead. Get over it.
I haven't even seen the MOVIE yet...
I don't think BT is such a good shortcut for BitTorrent... especially since you live in the UK ;)
Karma cannot be described by words alone.
Vampires or Nazis... Vampires or Nazis... Hmm. I can point my NES Light Gun at the Nazis and pretend I'm playing a crazy Wolfenstein mod... Yeah, Hitler it is.

We're still talking about Buffy here right?
Rutger "Batty" Hauer, and Paul "PeeWee" Reubens stole the show. Kristy Swanson was beautiful and perfect, and the cast was filled out with both stars and people who would become stars. It was hilarious (the Paul Reubens death scene was classic), smart, silly, and fun.
Because of this, I held off on watching the TV series. How good could that be compared to the film? I finally caught a couple of episodes over the last couple of weeks, and it does look like a clever show, but they should have called it something else, and let the film stand by itself.
Seriously: I think that Buffy has taken a serious step down this year. It's disappointing that the last few episodes end up concentrating on insignificant new characters (Kennedy, Wood) and got away from the things which made the scoobies a cool group of heros in the first place (how many superheroes prepare for battle by doing research?).
But oh well. Must be a universal truth that while all good stories deserve an ending, and not all good stories have good ones (Neil Stephenson fans, represent!).
Every year during my review, I just pray the words "slashdot.org" aren't mentioned.
Submitted this, but of course:
within like 10 seconds of submitting it :)
How should Buffy end?
( ) David Lynch Ending: The entire series was just a masterbatory fantasy for Zander. Somehow he still manages to lose an eye.
( ) Kubrick Ending: Calib chases buffy around the hedge maze and ends up freezing to death.
( ) Spielberg Ending: Buffy is revived by alien robots in the year 3010 who create the illusion of Angel for one day and then they euthanize her.
( ) Lucas Ending: "Buffy, you've turned off your targetting computer! What's wrong?"
( ) Joss Whedon Ending: The gangs carrers' suddenly end when they decide to write a sci-fi western.
( ) CowboyNeil Ending: CowboyNeil doesn't end.

Hot lesbian witches! Think about it! It's fucking genius!
I know I shouldn't be grabbing the bait, but I've had a crap day, and need someone to take it out on.
And this AC is it.
NOBODY MAKES YOU READ THIS!
And the only reason people are playing games on Friday night, is because they're big boys and girls, who are allowed to go out on a school night.
Thank you, this has been a pointless flame brought to you by One Pissed Off Bunny productions.
Holy Jeebus. You talk as if she is your girlfriend. Even tho Buffy comes in to your mom's basement via the TV, doesn't mean that Buffy loves you. When you worship her on line, she never knows. Knowing every little detail about the show doesn't increase your ranking in the 'get to fuck Buffy' line. Despite all your fan fueled idiocy, in the end, Buffy will never know you and will go home and fuck her boyfriend. You, on the other hand, will just have to be happy with fucking a tube sock while watching Buffy shows you download from Kazaa. Please grow up, soon. Honest.
Sorry, you'll have to have two shows if you want to see Caleb on TV after the finale. :)
"julienned preacherman" oh yeah
Everyone seems to think that "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters." is connected by a logical AND, but it's really a logical OR. Stop the whinging, you'll be alright.
If anyone has the entire season or the season before that -- and probably any other season -- please mail them to me. It seems I missed out on the 'best show ever.'
Some people have a way with words, others not have way.
