Faithguy started this thread on the other board, but it is having problems. I wanted to continue it here.

List the things that you liked and will remember about last night's final.

Angel: That' s great.Everyone's got a soul now.
Buffy: He'll make a difference.
Angel: You know I started it. The whole having a soul thing. Before it was all the cool new thing.
Buffy: What are you 12?

It's a good feeling to know that somethings will never change.

I know a lot of people didn't like the cookie dough analogy. I wasn't crazy about it either, but the"eat me" line killed me.

"And then, you know, if I want someone to eat me... er... enjoy warm, delicious cookie me, that's fine, that will be then, when I'm done."

Loved Spike punching the 2nd grader drawing of Angel.

I loved the scene before the fight where just the four core scoobies are talking about what they are going to do the next day. What a great throw back to the begining of the show.
Buffy"So, what you guys wanna do tomorrow?"
Xander: "Miniature golf.."
Willow: "Buffy and I want to go to the mall."
Giles mumblin: "We're going to save the world and you're worried about the mall?"
Buffy: I've got a wicked shoe craving."
Giles: "The Earth is DEFINITELY doomed."

Loved the sharing of the slayer power and Willow the White.(LOTR reference)

Thought the fight sequence was great. Even though Buffy looked like she was down for the count she found her strength to continue her fight.

Spike was great and he had a champion's death.

No there is no more Sunnydale, but there is an endless world of possibilities and multitudes of slayers that need training. Can you say Slayer High?

[> 22 things I loved about Chosen -- Quills, 11:14:35 05/21/03 Wed (64.254.192.243)

Following is the response I wrote to a thread last night (this thread is still posted below). I've added on more things to love, but I'm still standing by my first impression:

I was unspoiled and quite pleased. I was really expecting a bunch of Scooby deaths, and even though it may have been a bit unrealistic for nearly everyone to survive (except Anya and Amanda), I was happy they did. I really even thought Buffy might day for a second there.

Yes, there were a few things that I might liked to have seen that didn't happen, or whatever (a lack of gravitas, for example, in a few scenes), but I'm going to focus on the good here, and I think it was certainly mostly good, and I'm just feeling so darn grateful for the show's existence in the first place.

So, to celebrate the finale; among the things I loved:
1). -- Willow's "nifty" comment after turning all of the potentials into slayers.

2). --The Dungeons & Dragons game the night before the big showdown.

3). -- Dawn's belated understanding of Willow's tongue ring comment

4). -- Anya's comment to Xander about how she figured he would be the one who was scared & that she would make sarcastic remarks

5). -- Xander's "party in my eye socket" happiness upon hearing of Caleb's death

6). -- Buffy's realization, in terms of relationships, that she wasn't ready for one with anyone

7). -- Spike's reaction to realizing that the amulet is working & something pretty intense is about to happen to him: "Bollucks"

8). -- Spike's beautiful humility and acceptance . . . he truly proves himself to be a champion

9). -- Spike's drawing of Angel on his punching bag

10). -- Spike (hey, are we noticing a theme here?) being honest w/Buffy about his feelings rather than having some big miscommunication, pouting, will her turn evil w/jealousy scernario. Three episodes in a row where these two had open, honest communication! Bravo!

11). -- Buffy getting up after the First taunts her about her mortal wound

12). -- The scene in the hallway where everyone says goodbye (by not saying goodbye) . . . there were a few things that would have made me like this scene even more, but overall I liked it.

13). -- Xander asking Andrew about how Anya died and then, through his grief, his pride: "That's my girl."

14). -- At the very end . . . Buffy's smile.

15). The ending . . . the fact that it really changed the dynamic, leaving it open for spinoffs (Spike, Dawn, Giles, Andrew, Willow — anyone?)

16). That, according to Giles, there is another Hellmouth in Ohio

17). Willow's quip to Kennedy about Buffy not really being that bright

18). Giles' remark about being a musical dwarf during the D & D game

19). Andrew's "Oh you silly British man"

20). The fight w/the ubervamps . . . pretty intense & cool

21). Angel's defensiveness about having had his soul first, before Spike. Pretty funny.

22). Dawn. She was tough, funny. Loved that she told Buffy not to saying anything because anything she said "would sound like goodbye." I think Dawn really came into her own this season.

The only thing I could add is that the Potentials were quite cool (agreeing with sLaP here) especially Vi. I always had a positive attitude towards them, but in Chosen they all just got really cool.
