I agree -- that was pretty much what I said afterwards :). In fact, I sort of liked it. It seems that Joss has written and/or directed very few episodes this season (or last) -- maybe that's been part of the problem. The dialogue has really been suffering, but it was back on top again this time. I missed that. It would've been a better season had it been more like that....
A quick check at UPN's Buffy page confirms that Joss was fully responsible for the finale. Well, that explains a lot...
Yeah, it was so good... *sniffle* Joss rules. I can't believe he allowed the majority of the season to be so bad. Now I'm trying to download the episode so I can watch it over and over and over... :)
Hmm...mathematician and philosopher. I like that better than "chick who waits around for decades for her husband to come home." The part about getting beat to death by monks sounds less appealing, though.
Waah! I want more episodes! Trying not be too sad...
That's exactly how I felt. Given the quality of the S7 as a whole, I just didn't want the finale to suck. Kinda made me mad, though. All the sucky episodes this season were such a waste. I was worried that they had completely lost the magic - evidently it was being hoarded by Joss all along.
Your evening sounded just lovely ::sigh:: I had a lot of people over, even a guy who had never watched Buffy before...though, in fairness, I think he came over to stalk my friend girlwithjournal. ::sigh::
1) I somehow missed the Buffy boat years ago, but still want to proudly proclaim that there is a circumstance under which I get confused with Joss.
2) Hey, wageslave, you're all over my little web. Did you know that you have an lj friend on the west coast who is the ex-girlfriend of my rl & lj friend also on the west coast?
ps. Will I get to see you this summer? We could have an Endless reunion ritual and see if mysterious lights surround us when we re-join the long separated artifacts ala The Dark Crystal.

I was quite sad to not be back there for this one. I miss my east coast buffy crew, even if I am only a visitng post-doc or somesuch.
