Today is my ninth wedding anniversary - and we drank the fizz when we were watching Buffy instead of tonight. But I still love him better than Spike :-)) Thoughts on finale follow with spoilers.
The tears have dried and I'm calmer than I expected. Maybe it's delayed reaction, maybe it's knowing there's still Angel. While there's still a window into the Buffyverse, it's not all over. Anything could happen.
I've read reams about the finale. My eyes hurt. I won't add to it. Much. If you're sad, I'm sad too. If you laughed, I laughed too. If you screamed; "Now! This is when they made love! They did, they did!" then you're my Spuffy sister in arms.
And yes, I like that Buffy's final words were "I love you" and then "Spike".
I also like the Spike and Angel wrestling in oil image. I'm sure the fics will give me more to imagine ::closes eyes and drifts for a moment.Ah, yes.::
I loved this show. I loved watching it, I love talking about it. I love what it gave me - entertainment, new friends, the kick start to become a writer.
It made me feel, intensely, and that's a good thing. It's painful, it's scary but it beats cotton wool swathed emotions. The wave of feeling that I had watching the fight at the end was like nothing I've felt watching TV. It almost hurt. You don't get many moments like that. They're not always good but they're proof you're alive and for that, they're worth treasuring.
I didn't get all I wanted from the show in terms of closure but I've got this safety net. It's called fanfic. I feel like doing an Andrew speech and thanking everyone but that's like saying goodbye and I'm not doing that.
Not today. Not for a long time. I like it here.
