I think Boo has an unhealthy obsession with a My Little Pony that's on my TV. Kitty took it down last night to braid its hair and Boo apparently spent all day with it, but not chewing on it like he normally does. I think he sniffed its hair. Which is all too weird for me to contemplate, so I put it back up on the TV where he can't get to it. Because my cats are too stupid to jump on top of the dresser. I thank my lucky stars for that weirdness.
So I've watched the end of season five of Buffy and I understand from a friend that the show was dropped by whoever had it first, and that would have been the end. And I'm a little torn as to which end I like better. Because I know enough (I've watched the last ep) of the later seasons and the end to know that a lot of people die, Xander gets his eye gouged out by Mal (so wrong! so very wrong!), and Sunnydale ends up a huge hole in the ground. So which is better? I mean. Season five has Buffy dead, yes, but she's in heaven, complete and loved and with her mom. Everyone else is happy. Xander and Anya are engaged, without any inkling of later standing-upness. Tara and Willow are back in action, Willow is scary strong, yes, but without the meltdown she goes through in season 6, you can just kind of believe that she kind of plateaus, and everything is fine. Yes, Spike, Dawn, and Giles are loose ends, but they can all live in Buffy's old house together, and be happy, and have good times, and Giles can be Dawn's dad and Spike can be her big brother and if he cries himself to sleep at night because he misses the slayer, it's no less than he deserves for all the years of evilness.
But maybe all that just happens in my own head.
I have no arguments for the end of 7, because I haven't watched everything leading up to it yet, just the end and a few minutes of other things here and there, but it feels like it would be better planned as the end, since that's where Joss wanted to end it. Right? Maybe? I don't know.
Oh Buffy. Oh TV on DVD. Oh being in an apartment with no one to curb my DVD watching. Oh yes.
