It's coming. It can't be stopped. It can't be averted. It's the end of an era. I made a promise a long long time ago that I'd be at Buffy's side till the last vampire had been slain. And here I am. The finale season. The final challenge has presented itself in the path of the Chosen one. And it will be put down like all the rest. But this time it'll be different, it'll be her final fight against the forces of evil. I've watched this girl for 7 years. She's been my world. When I went to college and was faced with the rough transition, I had to dig out season 4 to see Buffy struggling through the same things I was and it helped me get through it. She wasn't just this little show that only about 5 million people ever had the pleasure of seeing, She was an icon. A hero. She proved time and again that the odds can be stacked against us and that we can still endure and prevail over the darkness. I remember all the way back to her first season, checking and re-checking TV guide news to see if she would be back the following fall. I was beyond pleased with the first season. I still, and always will, consider Season one Buffy's finest hours. Her epic struggle against the Master was the stuff of TV legend. And this season has carried on the tradition. Above all Buffy was a role model for a lot of people. A few years back I received a WWBD dog tag, which stood for What Would Buffy Do. I've worn that thing through so many experiences the entire time wondering What she would do if faced with the same situation. And I'll continue to wonder what she would do long after May 20th. And I'll take this opportunity to say I've thoroughly enjoyed posting with you guys. This experience would not have been as fun and fulfilling without the late night posts, the afternoon spoiler searches, or the heated debates in chat. It's been a very unique experience and I feel that is what Joss wanted above all, and he succeeded beyond probably even his wildest imaginings.These last seven years have been a remarkable and amazing experience and have truly been a landmark of great television. And when the end comes, I'll be ready to say goodbye to a dear friend that just happened to save the world...a lot.Farewell Buffy, it's been both an honor and privilege to make your acquaintance. Slay cool.

Definitely a one track mind, Desireable. You'll probably be happy to hear that James Marsters has been approached and has agreed to move on to Angel after Buffy concludes (assuming Angel returns for it's 5th season). I think it's going to be interesting seeing Spike and Angel interact now that they're both soulful. Alyson Hannigan has also signed on to be part of Angel's new and improved fang gang. Nicholas Brendon was also approached, but refused. He's apparently ready to move on past the Buffyverse. Still no word on a spin-off as yet though. Time's running out for Team Whedon. If they haven't made a decision yet, they should soon. Like all things in the Buffyverse, we'll just have to wait and see how it all turns out at the 11th hour.

well, i'm glad that i'm not the only one who'll miss them.

i didn't think spike was crossing over (if you get what i mean) as well! bonus!

should be fun though.

i'm going to miss buffy when she's gone. my friends taping the last episode off sky so we can all watch it.

fortunately, i only have normal tv (not satalite or cable) so im still watching the end of season 6, so i'll probably still be watching buffy this time next year. yay!



it's gonna get irratating though! boo hoo

Well, for all us Roswell fans, we all know how intelligent the WB is...and for that fact, UPN as well. To be honest with you, I really would be surprised if Angel lasts much longer. Not because the shows sucks...it doesn't, but because the network has their head so far up their ass they don't know which way is up. Dawson is done at the end of this season. They lost Roswell and they lost Buffy. All of their shows are either gone or going. It leaves them with Angel, Charmed, and Seventh Heaven. If they have any intelligence what-so-ever, they'll keep Angel another couple years to keep the fan base that will obviously flow over from the lack of Buffy. If James and Allyson are really going over to Angel, I think it will really boost Angel's ratings. So, the WB would be idiots to get rid of it. But, as I've stated...they are idiots. So...

Something, anything with James and/or Alyson is good... or even Amber Nick, too.

Yes, the WB sucks. Plain and simple. The only good thing about them is Charmed, because Charmed kicks ass. And if Charmed is cancelled or moved... I'm going to be pretty pissed off.

Black Sash is pretty decent too. I used to watch Charmed, but I just lost interest. I tried watching it with Rose McGowan, but I found I missed Shannon Doherty's "Prue" too much. Plus Phoebe was never my favorite to begin with and I noticed through the course of this season she's been getting a large chunk of the screen time, so it just began to not work out for me. I still feel it's a good show, just not one I continue to watch religiously.Angel is a different story altogether. I'll only let that show go when the WB comes and peels me off of it with a cancellation notice crowbar. Till then... I'm there. Pretty much just Angel and Black Sash for me. I really wish they'd create another supernatural show that deals maybe with werewolves or something. Cause once Angel and Charmed go, they're not going to have anything for the "fang gangers" like you and me to watch. It'll pretty much just be Everwood, Smallville, Gilmore Girls, and 7th Heaven, which is just wrong, cause some of us like a little mayhem and carnage with our TV dinners.

I agree...That is totally wrong! How boring!

Its sad to think that there will be no more Buffy. I started watching during the second season and was hooked from the first episode that I saw. I think that its great that Spike and Willow will move to Angel if it is renewed. I haven't kept up with Angel, but I will definitely want to check it out with Angel and Spike interaction.

So, what are we down to now? 3 after tonights eppy?

What are the shitty networks doing to us?!?! First Roswell now Buffy, if Angel gets cancelled im gonna kick some ass! It's not fair! I 've been watching Buffy since the beginning and the ending will have crying like a baby. I'm still trying to get over the cancellation of Roswell. I might go on a strike and stop watching television altogether!
