Have watched 'Chosen'.
Emotional wreck of all the feels: now.
I always cry. And it's like happy but in the middle of this whole war movie they're doing, so also with the sad. All the feels.
And then Spike.
I've got to say though... as much as I adore this ending on many levels, it also leaves me kind of tired. Because Buffy's plan? ( Read more... )
I've also read people being very, very intensely against Buffy's choice here, on moral grounds. ( Read more... )
Drafting people into a war, morally dubious. Arming people who are already at war, much closer to cool. Giving people with a war around them a choice to take up arms?
That's what Buffy is trying to do, by her own words, and I can see nothing wrong with it.
Plus it's always the best answer, share the lessons, share the power, stand together, stronger.
Otherwise the story is about how hard it is to be super privileged, hot chicks with super powers, and, well, yeah, but. Kind of harder for the ones standing next to her, or in the town she isn't protecting.
I really love this episode, I love what Buffy and Willow do, I love Spike (Spike!), I get all the feels.
But there's a couple things I wouldn't write, if I was writing something like this again.
(also, I do intend to go back and write about... er, half of season 6 and most of 7? I just haven't yet. It's on the to do list. But if I don't sit down right at the end of each episode then the next one gives me fresh feels to write and also I want to see the next and the next and, well, then I watched them all.)
I have to say though, I feel weird about Angel season 5 after that ending. I mean, Spike did a thing! It... it feels really weird to be able to just skip to the next thing.
Also? Angel? Seems so very, very random and pretty much irrelevant, when he turns up. ( Read more... )
... apparently I have a lot of Angel feels and if you're B/A OTP then you should probably avoid reading that paragraph. Each to their own.
(But Spiiiiiike!)
(Spike)
And every girl in the world, ready to be strong.
