I absolutely loved this finale to S8, and I found it full of comedy gold.
Yay! Another fan who doesn't hate it!
I actually found Giles leaving everything (except THE book) to Faith to be hysterically funny, and both Faith and Buffy misunderstanding his intentions to be even funnier. Of course Buffy will never be homeless, she never has been because she is always surrounded by friends and family. Faith has always been homeless, and she was hesitant to let Giles in... I think he was trying to prove to her that even in death he would keep his bargain and have her back.
I found Giles leaving everything (except THE book) to Faith to be poignant - but Faith and Buffy misunderstanding his intentions are very funny. It's obvious that he wrote his will before shit hit the fan, when Buffy has her castle and heaps of money.
I found Kennedy blaming Buffy for the breakup with Willow to be funny.... But I was assuming that Willow was saying that she was still far from over Tara (you don't get over the love of your life by dating Kennedy, at least I wouldn't). But I suppose I should look at that again since you all seem to think it was Saga Vasuki.
You know, the more I think about Willow scenes, the more questions I have. She could break with Kennedy because she plans something dangerous and doesn't want Kennedy be hurt. She could plan something dangerous and be afraid that Kennedy will try to stop her.
But I do hope that Giles will show up in one guise or another in S9.
Oh, yes! Whether he'll be Buffy's mystical guide in the dreamspace or a past!Giles, I wanna, wanna, wanna!
I would have gotten a kick out of seeing Dawn and Xander refusing to invite Spike in.... I always found their relationships w/Spike to be funny.
Could Dawn remember Xander's "compact and well-muscled" remark about Spike? Maybe she's jealous?
I did read the 'why did we ever break up' line differently than most people: I thought it was sarcasm because he was criticizing her...
Oh, I agree, it was her initial intent - but the way I mentally hear it, she starts it as a snark and ends as a sigh.
