I didn't like it.

It made me sad.

...Spike didn't have to die.

Too true.

Although, since I didn't catch more than the occasional episode, I didn't have any clue as to who this whole syndicate was.
I assumed they were some sort of mafia.

Atleast the entire Spike kicking ass thing kicked ass.

I refuse believe he died. I think he just passed out and went back to the Bebop and everything was like it was in the older days, just without Ed or Ein or Faye.

*sigh*

There is a CB Movie coming out, so we get to see him ONE. MORE. TIIIIIIIIIIIME!

all you people are greedy, spike died because the synicate died as he knew it and there was no longer a place for him in the world.

Bane hit it pretty well on the head.

The whole finale dealt with the "meaning of life." Spike subscribes to a philosophy that there is no meaning to it aside from whatever attachments you make for yourself. Without those attachments, you're lost, directionless, purposeless, like living in a dream. The only way to wake up from the dream is to die.

Note what Spike does to the Syndicate; he doesn't destroy it. He leaves it lost without its leader. He believes that's a fate worse than death.

Anyway... Spike's dead. He had nothing left in the dream, so he finally let himself awake.

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

Spike chose to die because his lost love was killed, if she would have lived he would have chose to live. He is smart enough to blow that building up with his plane and never have to worry about going inside.

I cried. Seriously. Twice. During the show, first when Julia died, then when Spike said "Bang."

It was a real tear jerker.

Yeah, i think it was a good ending, even though I was very sad and I liked spike alot. I think that was the way it was meant to be, though I hoped he just passed out when I saw him fall...

Was Ed a girl, or a very confused young boy?

I never found out, only saw one episode with Ed in it.

Well that's a SNL character I've been trying to forget for a long time.

Thank you for bringing that memory back. Asshat.
