I've finished rereading "My Life" several days ago. I adore Anaross' stuff. I remember people accusing her of Angel bashing in some of her stories and her reply "I love Angel but somehow he ends up a bad guy in my stories". After Twilight arc I wonder if Anaross is more attuned to Joss vision than many of us.
(Gah! I'm not made for those 30 days gaps...)
Tell me about it. :) Right now I follow MarkWatches and I'm green with envy. The guy has just started watching BtVS. He's 100% unspoiled (he asked "Is Angel another slayer?" in his first review). He watches 5 NEW Buffy episodes a week. It's not fair!! :)
I've been watching my 14-year-old son drink it all in. Fortunately, he absolutely loves BtVS, which makes me so happy! His favorite character is probably Xander, I think because any awkward young man can see a bit of himself in that character, and he's especially fond of "The Zeppo."
Agree with your review. Including this, alas: "The scene is so shippy that I am really, really afraid for the future of favorite blonds. Joss never gives shippers anything unless he plans to take away much more than he has given."
Everyone (in the comic) is so pissed off at Buffy. I'm still trying to figure out what alternative she had to destroying the Seed.
My son was 13 in 2000 when BtVS premiered in Russia. He loved it, too. I often watched new episodes together with my children. Good times... :)

I have the impression that only Willow is really unhappy about the Seed. Severin doesn't count - he's a bad guy, he wanted to be a vampire. Simone always hated Buffy.
I think it's pretty possible. Recent reviews by first-time viewers are very good. Look like BtVS doesn't become dated. Like good vine, it becomes better with age. Maybe the new generation, the generation of your children will be able to look at BtVS without prejudices and fully appreciate its brilliance.
I'm not fan of character bashing, but then i never felt she did it anyways. (If the sole purpose of a character - even a character i don't particularly care for or even like - in a story is to be bashed, to let the audience feel morally superior to her/him and revel in pettiness and chauvinistic feelings of superiority... well, it is THE turn off for me.)
Also, i join you in your envy re: MarkWatches. *green*
