God damn it woman, you made sympathise with Buffy! and made me cry - again. This is truly beautiful. Cutting Spike from the scenes you selected until the precised moment you wanted him to appear, and then the syncroninsation of to say I love you with Buffy's words to him. I howled at that point.
I'm going to watch it again, with a box of tissues handy this time.
the only really real Buffy is really Buffy and she's gone
WORD!! WTF was Joss thinking? Was he not aware that the biggest complaint regarding S7 by the majority of fandom was: too many potentials (that hardly anyone cared about, other than Joss, I guess) taking up screen time that could have focused on the growth and development of the core characters post-S6? That, and Pod!Giles. *sigh*
Yeah! Once Buffy was no longer The Slayer, her story was over. The TV plans that faioled to materialise were to continue the Jossverse, rather than the Buffyverse.
And yet, a continuation of the Jossverse could have been done well, i.e. ST:TNG, in which new characters were introduced, but they were interesting characters, and you at least knew their names! The first mistake was shoving all of those nameless, boring girls into S7. Why not use S7 to conclude the stories of the real characters, then have Buffy & Willow do the spell and only show the Slayers 2.0 then? Certain new slayers could be developed and built upon if that's the direction he was planning to go.
The main problem for me with the comics (other than not understanding them until stormwreath spells out what's going on, and not being able to recognize anyone from panel to panel), is that I am paralyzed with not caring about the characters or the story being told. *sigh*

Don't get me started on how many characters he mangled/neglected in Season 7 for the sake of introducing Sprogwarts of Sunnydale.
