Agreed tbh. I liked the musical but it wasn’t worth all the misery. I have to admit the tone of those first couple of Season 6 episodes felt very appropriately apocalyptic for the darkest 9/11 timeline we were in. I remember watching them at the time and being like, yup, this checks out. But I don’t think it added anything to the conversation.

Honestly, I stopped watching after this. I thought it ended beautifully and, as much as I loved her and the show, it felt complete. To me, there was no need to continue on to UPN.

I'm still upset the Buffy remaster got such a botched job.

Forever bitter that it will never get the remaster it deserves since Disney doesnt really do remasters.

Great episode! I'm glad there was more after, because there were some high highs in with the low lows, but it would have been a great series finale also.

The reboot comics....I just cant. Willow is the new Vampire Slayer after Giles/Willow try to remove all of Buffys trauma from her psyche and the spell backfires.
