From the book of Ja'Deth Issar Ka'bael, chapter 3, verse 16:
So how did it all end anyway?

Buffy kills the big demon guy and chooses spike over angel. Instead of stoppin the hordes as they come, buffy realizes she has to act before the hordes gather enough strength to take over earth. She tears open the hellmouth and has willow use her powers to awaken every potential slayer in the world. That means all the potentials with her are full slayers, and they start slaughtering the vampire horde in hell. During the battle, Anya(sp)? was cut in half. BUffy was given a "mortal wound" but then regained her full strength for no reason during a conversation with the prime evil (rrright). Spike was given a talisman earlier in the show and during the end battle he begins emanating sunlight (or his soul, doesn't matter) and the vampires in hell die on mass. Spike eventually destroys himself and takes the entire town down with him. The town ends up a crater collapsed onto hell and every potential female slayer in the world has their full powers

After reading Dia's spoiler, I remember again why I can't stand that show. Bad acting and even worse of a plot. The convoluted mess that they call at plot, at least.

Only reason I watched the earlier episodes was for the Mayor, and later during the Initiative/Adam era (and around there in general) for Spike. The "heroes" got on my nerves. Especially Angel.

Hint: Caleb is NOT a demon, just a ridiculously strong guy, Buffy did NOT choose Angel over Spike, Willow unlocked the power within the Slayer's Scythe, indeed giving all potential Slayers full power, the wound was apparently NOT mortal, since she didn't die, it's the "first evil," not "prime evil," they don't completely mean the same thing, the talisman given from Lila to Angel to Buffy to Spike uses a vampire's restored soul to create some sort of holy light (apparently), and the Hellmouth sucks the unholy town, Sunnydale, into it, before the mouth closes.

There are still Hellmouths all over the world, though, and according to the comic book written by Joss Whedon, Buffy is killed when she's trapped in one of them.

Nope. Spike will be a regular cast member on Angel next year. Prolly find some way to bring him back because he was redeemed or something. Gotta suck for Angel though. Angel has his soul back because of that curse put on him. To remind him of the evil he did and regret it. Any happiness he has and bam! Soul is gone. He can't have sex. When he did..he went evil. Now along comes Spike with a soul. No curse. He can have all the nookie he wants.

I thought it was only if Angel had sex with someone he loved.

So hey, as long as he sticks to prostitutes...

I didn't know there were multiple hellmouths.... so, them "saving the world" was awakening the slayers, not "destroying" the hellmouth? as for demon, i used that as a generic term. his strength has to have been augmented somehow, as probably can be seen with him merging with the evil. I suppose he could be the "anti-slayer" for the lack of a better term.

that kinda stinks, though. the end of the series seemed to give me the impression that the good vs evil battle.. the one with demons and slayers and the like, was something that was assumed to be going on forever, dictated by men. but it showed she had the power of choice and instead of simply accepting the cycle, she decided to end it. (though i'd assume the first evil is still alive)

and btw, i said spike over angel, not angel over spike. if she wanted, she could have taken angel, but she didn't. i've seen very few women do something like that in real life.

as for hating the series, i always thought it had its cheesy charm. how many other network shows out there would make a homestar refrence? it doesn't take itself too seriously, while at the same time doesn't have too many more plotholes than most scifi series. when it was made, it was made with the understanding that a large amount of people may find it distateful, but they didn't care. it turned into a success. what impresses me the most about the series is the fact that it is the only "epic" series I am aware of other than Babylon 5 and the original start trek (that didn't finish). stuff didn't "Just happen," it followed an overall plot from the beginning and everything fell into place as part of that plot.

I would like to see how they do that. Spikes physical form was destroyed. Then again they have done crazier.

I must say that I found the speech near the end pretty moving. Buffy talking about how everyone that could be a slayer would be a slayer. All the while showing girls feeling the power awake within them. I especially likes the one who was being abused by her husband/boyfriend/father/whatever. The look on her face when she realised she didn't have to take it was quite powerful.

I never watched the show because there is no way it could hope to stand up to the movie.

Paul Ruben's death scene was the greatest death in any movie EVAR!

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

Amen...

I personally loved the ending and Im sooo glad anya is finally dead.. annoying b!tch (though I wish dawn had too )

I just liked the way they kinna went back to the old joke-y comradery (yah to spelling) like it used to be in the first few seasons before it got all dark and depressing...

So sad its gone, must get DVDs

Actually I think it was the eyes. I had the same thoughts. While it wasn't like you were twins or anything there was something about the eyes and shape of her face that really made me think of you.


Oh and as for the ducking and blocking..

For someone being beaten it is a normal reaction to duck out of the way and try to protect your face or body. When she realised that she could trully defend herself it was a whole new ballgame.
