Don't mention Buffy, if you're not going to have her on. If you're going to fake Buffy, don't use a cheap ugly flat blond wig. Ditto. I did like the fight over the apocalypses only for Spike telling Angel that he helped Buffy send him to hell. & I loved Spike's "SON OF A BITCH!!" Mainly for his delivery. But that was all I liked.
They brought back Darla and Drusilla for this? The four of them together is supposed to be menacing -- something to behold, not stupid camp. I got excited seeing the credits, but that stunk. Back to season 2 reruns for me.
I didn't appreciate the obnoxious comment about 'Violent Americans' especially when one of them has a British accent As an Italian (well, half) I didn't like the way they portrayed the Europeans either

Yeah, Europeans have usually been good to me when I've met them (save for the French of course who are evil.) now their media and/or ours may tell a different story, which is why this is so tacky.
I also got the feeling that either the budget was cut or they used it up for this season. The makeup on the monsters was terrible and the Italian office being the same as the LA branch? Not funny. It was funnier than some of the other 'cheap shots'. Like I've/You've?/We've? said before it's dumb/obvious/

Are you finding them worthy of 'my hype' ... as good as I said? So far, so good. Reruns are interesting though, because some of the shock is taken away. For example, did you know that Lindsey & Lilah don't die in the basement with the vampires?-snerk-
Don't worry I think 'Nighthawk' and the rest of the gang can hold things together 'til he comes back at the end of the summer. But WTF is 'Xander' doing!?! Nighthawk? lol Seth is going to Tijuana. Because he's upset that his boyfriend. I mean boy friend, left him.
Now I wish the title did referred to Fred Same here.
A friend pointed out that they were completely disregarding everything that happened in 'Damage' because wasn't Buffy & Co. really mad at Angel for the whole W&H thing. And Andrew wasn't overly friendly then either (except to Spike, but that's a different story). So apparently screw any sort of continuity. The next ones better be good because I don't have any O.C. to switch to.

Not to say that 'Lana' on super-boy is a girl-role-model or anything, but she's more empowered than chicky. I think she might actually get rescued less often. And that's a sci-fi show about Superman, whose job is rescuing people.
Truly great episodes of the Whedon have it all thrown in a blender Hush is the great example of this. I wasn't thinking of 'The Zeppo' but that did work. It was funny without silly.

Please, tell me I'm wrong, and that young girls aren't watching this, and not like that. I wish I could. Lucky for me, most of my friends are not 13 year old girls, so I wouldn't know for sure. But I must say, even for me it's a little disconcerting to sit there and know that there's no way I look could fit into those jeans, first of all. And second, the message is that helpless, skinny girls get rescued by cute, strong guys.
Whedon at A-game is definitely something to behold, hopefully this/next week we'll not be disappointed. -crosses fingers- My mind is going crazy with all the possible endings.

When Buffy started, I was in seventh grade and from what I remember, it was my first memorable image of a girl not waiting for her knight to come rescue her.

My mind is just kinda numb, not sure if that's good, might be. My mind is mostly numb, when it's not thinking of the possible scenarios. Last year I came close to predicting the Buffy finale. Written on Feb 15 '03 - Arrggh, okay so I just read an interview with James Marsters and he could not be more cryptic about the season finale. Something about a romantic ending, which, with Joss, probably means the Hellmouth opening up and swallowing Sunnydale just as Buffy is about to tell Spike she loves him. Now if I could just pick lottery numbers with the same accuracy.
I heard somewhere someone batting the idea around that "they would all become slayers". I thought that's a bit too good to be true sounds sort of like immature fan-fic, but that worked out in a satisfying fashion, at least 'til was brought up the next season.
What will probably happen:
at least one major character will die, maybe several?
The bad guys will generally lose, in the process some sort of shift will occur and the world will be a better place, but something more interesting, which would change things were we to re-visit the concept.
Something good will happen for somebody?
Someone could become human. We'll throw the buffy analogy out there, both?
Good call on the BtVS finale. A little scary now that I look back on it.
at least one major character will die, maybe several? I've heard rumors to that effect.
Throw this unsubstantiated rumor in the mix and anything really could happen. I figured as much. Knowing the WB, I didn't really expect it, although one would be nice. If I was Joss, I wouldn't have banked on that while writing (co-writing) the finale.
Never-mind what I proposed that sounds too much like Chosen. There has to be some element of it in there, it being a big finale to do, but I can very much see it 'zigging' Where 'Chosen' 'zagged' ... right?

I think part of the reason why I was so successful in predicting 'Chosen' was because I had never seen a Whedon series finale before. Now I have 'Chosen' in my head and it is clouding my judgment. I do agree that it might have a different "theme" to it. It is a darker show anyway, he might not go with so much of a happy ending.
