And that's why we hate it, (or at least I do). We are all here because we believe that Buffy's true bond, "us against the world", even animal passion is (or should be) with her willow tree, NOT HER RAPIST for ****'s SAKE!!!

 

Anyhoo, my problem with season Sux is because, in the end, it wasn't necessary.

 

For me "The Gift" was a satisficatory ending to the story of Buffy Anne Summers.  As Yoshi said this was the moment that Buffy was the Slayer.  After that there was no place for her character to go and witness S6-S7 which basically, if we are to believe Whedon was all about Spike's quest for Redemption.

 

Should I mention that Redemption is something by nature CANNOT be earned, (Not that Ol' Sunkencheeks was trying) it must be freely given from above. ("Amends", or MH's "Deeper") 

 

For me S1-S5 complete a strong and satisfying story, begining, middle and ending.  S6-S7, among these legions of faults, just offfer nothing to the whole.

 

But's that just what I think about it, how about the rest of y'all?  Dan? 'Yoshi?  MH?

And so it was I entered the broken world 
To trace the visionary company of love, its voice 
An instant in the wind (I know not whither hurled) 
But not for long to hold each desperate choice. 

My word I poured. But was it cognate, scored 
Of that tribunal monarch of the air 
Whose thighs embronzes earth, strikes crystal Word 
In wounds pledged once to hope - cleft to despair? 

The steep encroachments of my blood left me 
No answer (could blood hold such a lofty tower 
As flings the question true?) -or is it she 
Whose sweet mortality stirs latent power?-
