>What
>was of most importance to you was killing Buffy, period.

 

I never said that.  I may have implied that.  Let me tell you what I meant.  I would rather the series ended on a note when Buffy was COOKIES, not COOKIE DOUGH.  When you get to the end of a story, a character should be a Cookie.  May not be a happy Cookie, may not be a living Cookie, but a Cookie.

 

In my mind Buffy was a Cookie in "The Gift", she was nowhere near one in "Chosen."

 

>As for the First not being a real threat, I think the Watchers
>Council, who knows how many Potentials, Jonathon, and Anya would
>argue that. 

 

I'm not talking about the LACKIES of the First, I'm talking about the First as a character. 

In S7 it has no personality, no distinction, no sense of meance physically or pychologically. (As loathe I am to mention him, look at Mel Gibson's portrayal of Satan in that crap movie of his. She takes no direct action in any of the bloodshed yet her very presense brings terror. Never so with the First)  Heck, it spent half the time wanking to Spike. It didn't really fight Buffy for crying out loud.  Compare this to Angelus in S2 or Faith in S3. 

 

For all the pomposity, the First was a lame villian.  It barely qualified as a Big Bad.  

 

>And what
>does it matter that Sunnydale is gone, since we were never going to
>see it again once the series ended, anyway? 

 

What about the hundreds upon hundreds of graves swallowed up by Spike's magical McGuffin?  What about the Espresso Pump?  The Bronze? Not of that stuff had any meaning?  Tara's grave?  Joyce's grave? 

>And, if you think Buffy is being unfair to the poor vamps and demons
>by making the odds a little more even instead of the overwhelming
>advantage given to the bad guys, before, don't you have to bash
>Willow, too?  Who performed the spell? 

I'm not bashing anyone but Joss Whedon. The thing I despise the most the absoulte ruination of her character in S6-S7.

 

Keep in mind, I'm just expressing an opinion about a TV show.  It's not like we're discussing the War.

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& nbsp;
No answer (could blood hold such a lofty tower 
As flings the question true?) -or is it she 
Whose sweet mortality stirs latent power?- 
-"The Broken Tower" Hart Crane
