Dammit. That ending. You know, I really liked this episode. (Willow: "I guess sithe really matters" And that smile they shared.) And it had a Buffy/Spike scene that made me teary. It reminded me of The Gift's "you treated me like a man" scene. I really think Joss will write whatever happens well.
But the ending... Really, it has to be some fakeout. Because Buffy and Angel have went through far too much apart to ever get back together. (Plus isn't he still in love with Cordelia?) Obviously this has to be the First's manipulations. Spike will storm off and Buffy will pull back with, "God we can't do this. A part of me will always love you, but it wasn't meant to be." (and then there has to be the obligitory Angel/Spike scene which I'm dying to see how Joss will write it) But even if Buffy doesn't end up with Spike, as this doesn't seem likely since Spike will be on Angel, I want her to at least acknowledge how much he meant to her before it ends. Not just the "It meant something to me too" but more, something more substantial.
Man, I can't think coherently. ::goes to find pro-Spuffy spin::
And there's only one more episode left!!!!
::grabs desperately on to denial::
ETA: You know what my mind wants to handle this? By listening to Grease's "You're the one that I want" Really, I just don't understand myself sometimes.

Date: 2003-05-15 10:59 pm (UTC)scaryinteresting idea you've got there.And dude, Connor and Dawn would have some competition for angst:
Connor: "My whole life's a lie."
Dawn: "Mine too. My life is mostly memories created by monks who made me from a ball of energy that some evil goddess wanted and she made my life a living hell."
Connor: "Well my vampire father abandoned me to this sadistic guy and so I had to grow up in a hell dimension made to believe my father was evil."
Dawn: "Yeah? My mom died leaving me to a sister who sucks as a parent."
Connor: So? My mother killed herself because of me."
Dawn: "And my sister killed herself because of me."
Connor: "My first love was really possessed by something evil and used me to create another being who tried to save/end the world."
Dawn: My sister didn't choose me and there's this big evil is out there trying to end the world."
and that could go on...
