Nice insight into the "new" Buffy, how she must feel with so many others to do her job. Good work. :)

Thanks! I wanted to fiddle with the difference in attitude between Buffy's irritation at Kendra and Faith, everything that went down at the end of Season Five and beginning of Season Six, and how, with the activation of the Potentials, suddenly the thing that defined her for so long changed so dramatically.

How could I possibly trash your first post when you have a Dalek for your icon (that totally wins, but the way)? I'm afraid I'll just be . . . you know, the E-word. I'm a dork, yeah I know

I'm not sure how I feel about "Season 8," but I like how you handled it with the prompt. Nice look at the "new" Buffy. Slaying isn't something you can just drop and expect everything to go back to normal.

Thank you! And thank you re: icon. :D

Yeah, I'm excited, but at the same time, the show ended so finally; I'd rather have Buffy just finish than continue limping along. (On the other hand, the list of writers is awesome, so.)

:D Thanks!

Eeee, even if the rest is terrible, Brian K. Vaughn will be writing for Faith, and that fills me with the utmost fangirl glee!

I really like this. Slaying is too much a part of who she is for her to easily let it go.

Thanks!

Yeah, I think the whole "death is your art" thing was pretty clear. I know Buffy is all, "I wish I were normal!" but if she got it I think she'd do badly.

Yes! Buffy after Chosen, what did she do? What did she feel? I think you've answered those questions nicely, neatly.

Thank you!

One of the plot bits I really liked was Dawn and Xander's conversation at the end of "Potential" -- it's like, yeah, being sacrificed by a goddess sucks, but not being special is hard, too.

"One of the plot bits I really liked was Dawn and Xander's conversation at the end of "Potential" -- it's like, yeah, being sacrificed by a goddess sucks, but not being special is hard, too."

That was one of the most beautiful moments in the whole series for me.
