As one who is semi-spoiled grey and likes it, I have to thank you for these posts. I read an interview with one of the cast and he kept referring to BtVS in the past tense. And I thought, öit really is over." I'm by nature a very unsentimental person and yet I felt a kind of bittersweet melancholy. No new Buffy to look forward to next September ever again. My younger daughter who is the other Buffy fanatic in my house told me, with tears in her eyes, "I have been watching this show since I was eight. I'm going to miss Buffy."

I am going to try to get into Angel. A lot of the issues that have been raised on Buffy over the past few years are probably better explored on Angel. The affair between Wes and Lilah compared with Buffy and Spike for example. Does it really matter who loves you, if you can't love yourself etc. But it won't be the same as I don't know the characters.

The most shocking moment for me. Two stand out. One is the scene in Spike's crypt at the end of OOMM. Buffy stalks in, stake at the ready, only to end up in his arms. She wants him, he loves her and that just about sums up the relationship. The fact that it is Spike's dream is just icing on the cake. He has set the parameters of their relationship himself and the second he realizes he loves her.

The second was the murder of Jenny Calender by Angelus. I suspected, although I had never even heard of a spoiler or knew there were people on line who liked to discuss Buffy, that Angel would be brought back to the good somehow. But I realized then that Angel, despite the pretty package, was always going to be dangerous, good or bad.
