In which Buffy throws her self off a cliff to her death like that one white chick whom Mogwai wants to bone in The Last of the Mohicans but without the excellent music and general awesomeness.
It’s the final confrontation and Buffy saves her fake sister by killing herself. I don’t get why she does it but they certainly built up the idea all season, what with all the Slayer death wishing and what not. It was a good idea and they tried hard, I appreciate the game plan, but I think they totally blew it.
For one, the Slayer death wish is an awesome idea but ihey barely scratched the surface. All the time they spent leading up to the finale dealing with Buffler’s dead mom could have been spent digging into that fucked up head of Buffy that must have been so wracked with guilt and conflict after doing so much god damn slaying over the years. Sure they were monsters but you can’t be a ruthless slaying machine, of demons, humans or otherwise, and not have some severe collateral damage to your moral core. They could have had Buffy lose her humanity first, and then sacrifice herself, instead of having her mope about her dead mom and then just fling herself off a tower into oblivion just because her fake magically created sister needed to be snuffed.
Buffinator’s sacrifice makes more sense after I looked up that Buffery the Vampile Sayer switched networks from the WB to UPN after this season, so going from ass to butt , or crap to shit, so Whedon et al may have though this was a series finale, instead of just the season ender.
Overall, these season was below average. D+. Maybe C -. Either way, Justified comes back on tomorrow and Raylan Givens is going to FUCK SHIT UP.
