Little "fanfare" for Anya's death seem appropriate. Xander isn't going to go all DMX (hah, that's funny, Dark Magic Xander as a rapper), and think about Anya's 'arc' this season. Selfless, the episode, was about her character giving selflessly of herself for others. These are the lessons she needed to remember, and though she hadn't exacly been like Aud in the final few eps, she gives selflessly of herself to save Andrew, despite the fact that Xander asks her directly to use him as a human shield, not vice versa. It's appropriate, I think. I mean, Anya and Dawn's arcs were definitely dropped for the ZITS, but oh well, can't be changed now.

I do like you "Revelation." Very true, and I think it's a great message (unless the smile at the end is an EVIL smile in which case Joss is just poking fun at us with a Twin Peaks reference).

I totally agree, and while the finale has some weak points (I've seen it, really disliked much of the first 20 mins, loved the last 20 mins), the one thing I think it does brilliantly well is tie up Buffy's story. Makes perfect sense.
