Buffy - the final episode - Chosen
It had to happen eventually - and now that the final
episode of Season
7 has been screened, well.. what was it like ?
 Actually,
I thought it was a good way to finish. Sunnydale disappearing
into a large crater in the ground. That ruins the Sunnydale
High School reunion...! Although, Giles does say that
there is another Hellmouth in Cleveland - which may
leave things open for another spin-off series.
The final episode also ties in with Angel
Season 4 by allowing Angel to bring Buffy the magical
amulet - and for Angel to realise that Spike is playing
a big part in Buffy's life.
 Perhaps
inevitably, there are also some disappointments. Anya's
death is skipped over - and Angel does not get the chance
to fight in the final battle. Also, although the army
of vampires is destroyed by Spike, was the First actually
killed !? I don't think so - but maybe I missed something....
Best bits for me were where Giles says 'The earth is
definitely doomed' - a deliberate reference to the end
of Season
1 - and the Spike - Buffy speech where Buffy says
'I love you' and Spike replies 'No you don't - but thanks
for saying it'
The final scene, looking back on Sunnydale, was also
great...
