FINALE DELLA SETTIMA STAGIONE, OSSIA FINALE DELLA SERIE.
Bubonic posted finale summary on 4/14
DISCLAIMER: 
Here we go again. You know, no matter how many times I post this,
someone always manages to get upset about the style of my summaries.
This recap is sarcastic and contains a lot of personal opinions that
reflect my biases as a viewer. You don’t *have* to read it - there are a
lot of other good finale summaries floating around out there. This is
intended for the amusement of my fellow board members. The facts are
true, but my commentary is just that – mine. I’m a Spike fan and a
Spuffy, and I like to poke fun at the characters and the writers. No,
don’t worry, I’m not going to mock Spike’s death, but everything else is
fair game.
Sadly, this is the last one of these I’ll ever get to do (well, I know
certain people don’t find that very sad). I want to extend love and
thanks to the fan community that has given me a second home. First and
foremost, to the wonderful people at Fanforum, whose intelligent
discussions, analyses, rants, quips, and silliness made the show a
pleasure, even when it was really not worth watching. Also to my friends
at TabRas, BAPS, Demens, Ducks’ BB, CW, and the BBB (sings “one of these
things is not like the other ones, one of these things just isn’t the
same”) – you people are lovely. Even sadder than this show ending is the
fact that eventually, our fandom will drift off. I’m geeky enough that
it makes me teary.
Again, please don’t repost except in its entirety.
So…we bring you….
“CHOSEN”
Written by Joss Whedon (with special bonus scenes by his mentally
deficient iguana, Sparky)
We pick up where we left off, and Buffy and Angel break the kiss. Angel
says he guesses that qualifies as happy to see him. I think it qualifies
as a lot of things, such as poor taste, truly contrived, and audience
manipulation, but that’s nothing new. Buffy wants him to stop it, as she
just wants to bask. (At this point I expect Dawn to pop in and offer up
the fact that she happens to know Basque.) They smile at each other,
warm and giddy, and then Buffy inquires as to what Angel is doing there.
He says he’s certainly not saving the damsel in distress, and she agrees
that she’s not much for damseling. Of course not, Buffy, that’s Spike’s
job this season. Angel pulls an accordion file out of his ass (okay,
from a corner), and says that he has coverage on the whole situation,
and that it needs a third act. Oh, Angel, not if it’s going the way this
teaser is. Buffy says Angel has to leave L.A., and here’s our first
brush with bad dialogue. I mean, I read that, and thought, “Why does
Angel need to get out of L.A.? Is the danger going to spread? Does Buffy
want him to make a break for Canada?” I had to reread it about five
times before figuring out she was cracking a joke about screenplays.
Hahahaha! Not. But, no, it gets worse. You’ll see.
Angel says it’s the First, the one that got him to try to kill himself,
right? Oh, way to make it all about you. Want another crack at him,
Firstie? Buffy explains that it is raising an army, and Angel starts to
say something….when he gets whacked across the head with a beam by
Caleb, sending him flying across the room. Caleb’s eyes are dark and
he’s dripping blood. His voice seems to come from everywhere, and he
asks if Buffy is ready to finish this, bitch? Okay, Caleb, one point for
adequate character assessment, but no point for predictably getting back
up after being gutted. One point for whacking Angel across the head, but
no point for the lame otherworldly voice.
***
Caleb and Buffy fight, Angel is out cold, and Spike is just watching I
guess. Caleb calls Buffy a stupid girl, and says she’ll never defeat
him, she doesn’t have the b….What? Brains? Bordellos? Barcaloungers? You
don’t think it could be *balls* do you? I really doubt that it’s balls.
I mean, ME likes to be subtle with the pseudo-feminist references. Buffy
arcs the blade back and swings it right up between Caleb’s legs.
Charming. No more Barcaloungers for you! Buffy asks who does nowadays,
and slices Caleb in half. Angel manages to get up, pissed off, and
starts looking around for Caleb. Buffy indicates the floor, and smiles
“girlishly”. Angel looks impressed. I am truly sickened. What happened
to this show? I mean, last season we had Warren and his “orbs”, and now
this? It makes me want to start an adopt-a-penis organization, just out
of sympathy. Buffy makes a lame pun about Caleb having to split, and
then snickers. Angel is justifiably unimpressed with the wordplay, but
Buffy says she’s still glad he’s here.
Cut to Spike (hi Spike!). The First is talking to him, taunting, saying
oh yeah, she needs Spike real bad. Spike chenches his jaw, and I’m now
not sure if he’s hurt by the Buffy/Angel flirting, or the fact that he
got involved with someone who likes to whack balls off and then smile
“girlishly”. Poor Spike.
Buffy goes through the papers, and says she’ll have the group look into
them to determine if there is anything new. She wonders if they came
from a reliable source, and Angel says definitely not. He also gives her
the amulet, and she indicates that she doesn’t have anything that will
go with that. Ahh, the “women like clothes” jokes. Those never get old.
Angel says it’s not for her. “Splainy?” Buffy asks. What??? Splainy?
Good lord, Willow and Ricky Ricardo gave birth to a demon, and it took
over Buffy’s body! Angel explains that the amulet is very powerful and
probably dangerous, that it has a purifying power and it bestows
strength when worn by the right person, according to the translation.
Angel, I don’t think that’s the translation for “Deus Ex Machina”. Buffy
wants to know who the right person is. Angel says someone with a soul,
but superhuman – a champion. Meaning him. Okay, two things: One, God, he
couldn’t leave that word on his own show, could he? And two, meaning
him? Angel now has 2 self-absorption points. I’m keeping a tally. Angel
says he doesn’t know enough about it to risk her wearing it, and she has
the “axe thingie”, anyway. OK, finding it really hard to believe that
Angel is over two centuries old, a pretty fair representative of Death,
reads Sartre in French, and doesn’t know what a god damn scythe is.
Angel says he’s with Buffy in this fight. Spike makes his way out. Yeah,
I really don’t blame him. But Spike, come back, or you’ll miss the truly
stellar dialogue! I think Sparky is about to take over!
SPARKY: Huh? It’s my turn? I really just wanted to bask on my hot rock
and maybe…
JOSS: No, I can’t handle the emotional intensity here. You do it. 
SPARKY: Can’t Marti…
JOSS: No! Do it or no zucchini for you! 
Buffy looks at Angel warmly and says no, he can’t be in this fight. She
can’t risk him, she needs him gone. Someone should really market some
Angel Raid, considering the number of times people ask him to go away.
Angel wants to know why.
Buffy explains that if she loses, she’s going to need a second front to
stop it. Besides, this is her fight. Angel wants to know what the other
reason is. She starts to head out, and he calls after her, “Is it
Spike?” Buffy stops, not really wanting to look Angel in the eyes. Angel
says he remembers Spike’s scent pretty well. Oh, my. Well, there’s one
for the slashers. If you read fanfic, you know that Spike smells like
leather, tobacco, and whisky. Whereas Buffy smells like vanilla. Does
Angel have a smell? I think we need to come up with one for him,
something poetic and evocative. “Spike inhaled Angel’s scent of asphalt
and jellybeans, as he pressed his lips to his sire’s pale chest. ‘Oh,
Spike,’ Angel whispered, and placed his hand on Spike’s glistening….”
You want more, don’t you? Too bad!
Buffy opines that the whole smelling people thing is a bit gross, but
Angel presses on, wanting to know if Spike is her boyfriend. Hahaha.
Boyfriend. I want him to ask if they are “going steady” next. “Is that
your business?” Buffy asks. Angel asks if she’s in love with him, and
Buffy can’t answer. He feels like he’s being thrown a curveball here,
after all, it’s Spike. Buffy says it’s different, he has a soul now. Oh,
great. Has anyone counted the number of times she has said that, and
does it beat out “From Beneath You, It Devours” out as the most
irritatingly repetitive line this season?
Angel starts to get pissy, and mumbles to himself about everyone having
a soul.
ANGEL SELF-ABSORPTION TALLY: 3
Buffy asks what, is he pissed? Angel says he started it, the soul thing,
before it was all cool …
ANGEL SELF-ABSORPTION TALLY: 4
Buffy asks if Angel is twelve. He says getting the brush off in favor of
Captain Peroxide doesn’t make him feel like a champion…
ANGEL SELF-ABSORPTION TALLY: 5
…and Buffy says it would just be confusing having the two of them there.
She wonders if he’s going to come and get all Dawson on her every time
she has a boyfriend. He latches on to that word…
ANGEL SELF-ABSORPTION TALLY: 6
… and Buffy says no, Spike’s not, but…”he is in my heart”. Angel
sarcastically states that that will end well, and Buffy bitches back the
question of whether the highlight of her relationship with Angel was him
breaking up with her or her killing him. I liked both, Buffy. They
relax, no longer fighting.
Buffy says she’s quite aware of her history with guys, and she doesn’t
foresee fat grandkids with Spike, but some things are starting to make
sense. Given the gene pool here, Buffy, and the fact that both you and
Spike are sticks, I don’t foresee it either. She thinks that maybe
things never worked because they weren’t supposed to. Angel wonders if
she means because she is the Slayer. Buffy says it’s because she’s
cookie dough. She’s not done baking yet, and she’s been looking for
someone to make her whole, whereas she should just *be* whole. Maybe one
day she’ll realize she’s ready, she’s cookies. And then if she wants
some one to eat her…or enjoy cookie-her, that’ll be then, when she’s
done.
*cough* Yeah. That’s really the conversation. I know, I know. I can’t
even parody that, it parodies itself. Buffy is a half-baked cookie,
Angel is the fifth grader who wants to eat said cookie, Spike got his
fingers stuck in the dough, and Joss was completely baked while writing
this, which is why he’s blaming it on the iguana.
Angel asks if she has any idea who…he really doesn’t want to go with the
cookie analogy. Buffy says she doesn’t think that far ahead. Angel
understands, and hands her the amulet. Says he’ll get to work on the
second front, and rests his hand on hers for a moment before starting
off. Buffy says sometimes…she does think that far ahead. Angel says that
sometimes is something. Buffy explains that it would be a long time
coming, years, if ever. Angel smiles, says he’s not getting any older,
and leaves.
BUFFY: Keep your willie in your pants, Angel, cause maybe five years
from now, when I’m done cooking, I’ll touch it! Or lob it off with a
scythe, I haven’t decided.
ANGEL: Fantastic! Now I have to get back to the woman I….
A large piano drops onto Angel, crushing him.
JOSS: Great! Cameo over! Good job, Sparky!
Note: No, that is actually not the end of Act 1. But Act I is loooong.
And I am long-winded.
Buffy comes back home, looking contemplative. Hmm, what was it Angel
smelled like again? Tar and blueberries? Dollar bills and freesia? Anya
is massaging Xander’s head in the dining room, and Willow, Giles, and
Dawn are there as well. Dawn comes up and kicks Buffy in the shin,
calling her a dumbass, and Buffy says if Dawn gets herself killed, she’s
telling. Oh, maturity at it’s finest. First we have Angel and Buffy
acting like junior high students, and now there is shin-kicking and
tattling. Willow wants to know if Buffy found out anything about the
scythe, and Buffy says proudly that she used it to slice Caleb in half.
Maybe she smiles “girlishly” again here. One can dream. Xander quips
that there’s a party in his eye socket and everyone is invited. Oh,
Xander, no. Your story arc is in there! There’s not enough room.
Buffy says yeah, she did get some history on the scythe, and she also
got some files and the amulet from Angel. And a hickey. Okay, she
doesn’t say that, but I want her to. She says she sent him back to L.A.
to prepare in case they fail. Then she heads down to the basement. Spike
is sitting there shirtless, and wonders where Angel is. Spike, do you
*own* a shirt? I’m beginning to think that this soul came with a clause
about feeling very uncomfortable in clothing. Buffy asks if Spike can
smell him. Spike says no, he used his heightened vampire eyeballs to
watch them kiss. Hee. Buffy says it was a hello, she was surprised. Ah,
Buffy, that was lame, even for you. Spike snarks that most people don’t
need tongue for that. She says there was no tongue, and she’s tired of
the jealous vampire crap. Alright, I will buy that there was no tongue,
since it seems to be stipulated in SMG’s contract that she’s not going
to open her mouth while kissing. She kisses like a lockjaw victim with a
mouthful of lemon sours. Spike says Angel wears lifts. Given Andromeda,
I find that pretty funny. Buffy thinks maybe Spike and Angel should just
fight it out. With the use of oil. And that’s two for the slashers! I
hear from fanfic that oil makes excellent lube. Well, they also say that
blood does, and various other liquids. Hey, can someone write me a slash
fic that uses Fruitopia as lube? Or better yet, cookie dough.
Spike asks where the amulet is, and says he should have it. Yeah, he
left after that part, and before the baking analogies. Buffy hedges a
bit, saying that she doesn’t know what it is, it could be dangerous. And
that it’s meant to be worn by a champion. I’m banging my head against my
keyboard now – apparently Angel’s presence on the show has infected it
with that word. It’s a horrid disease, I tell you.
Spike deflates, and then Buffy hands it to him. He is flattered as he
takes her meaning. He says no one has ever called him that before, and
she says she wants him to be careful. Spike examines it, noting its
power. Go ahead and flip it over, Spike, I bet it is wrapped in foil and
has a chocolate center. Mmmm, candy jewelry. You guys remember those
necklaces made out of sugary discs? Those were cool. Tasted terrible,
but still.
Buffy says that Faith is still in her room, and Spike says no way, she
can’t buy him off like that, he does have *some* pride. Ahh, Spike, I
love you, but you *so* do not. Buffy says she understands, and starts to
make her way back upstairs. Spike says no, she doesn’t, or she’d have
known the whole thing about having pride was a bluff. “Oh thank God,”
she says, relieved. He doesn’t know what he’d have done if she’d
actually gone back upstairs. She touches his face. “Let’s not find out.”
Buffy lies wrapped in Spike’s arms, both of them clothed enough to
indicate that there was no sex. It’s really specified in the script. I
mean, what, did they think that JM and SMG were just going to start
going at it despite the stage directions? Spike’s asleep, but Buffy
can’t seem to get there. Read act 2, Buffy. She strokes Spike’s hand,
and eventually gets up and heads toward the window, gazing out at the
moon. The First appears as Caleb, and starts yammering about his army of
vamps, and how she and her teenagers can’t stop them. Buffy thinks that
the First, being incorporeal, should come up with a cool name like “The
Taunter”. Finally! I mean, really, why is anyone afraid of this thing?
The vampires, sure, but the lameness of this BB is truly transcendent.
Yeah, I said transcendent, Joss, take it and stick it.
The First says when the army takes over, the scales will tip and he will
be made flesh. Buffy says she’s not afraid, and then the first asks why
she’s not asleep in her dead lover’s arms, then? Buffy looks over at
Spike, but doesn’t answer. Cause she didn’t get any sex, maybe? I’m
still pouting. The First says it’s because he can’t help her, nor can
Faith or her friends. He morphs into Buffy and starts to give the “Into
every generation, a Slayer is born” speech. She’s alone, she’ll die
alone. Buffy says he’s right. Spike suddenly calls out “I’m drowning in
footwear!” Hahaha. Okay, one of the few things that made me laugh
intentionally. He asks her what’s wrong. Buffy says she just realized
something, something she hadn’t thought of before. They’re gonna win.
In Buffy’s bedroom, there seems to be an impromptu meeting between
Buffy, Faith, Xander, Willow, Giles, Dawn, and Anya. Buffy still has the
scythe. You know, if you keep touching your surrogate penis, Buffy, you
might go blind. Buffy is asking if everyone thinks her plan is a good
idea. Giles says it flies in the face of everything every generation has
done to fight evil…and he thinks it’s brilliant. Are we making up for
being a traitorous bastard, Giles? For some reason, I’m still ticked
that everything was just all fine and dandy after the big
kick-Buffy-out-of-the-house scene. Maybe it’s just me.
SPARKY: It’s not just you!
JOSS: Shut up, Sparky! 
SPARKY: Well, whatever happened to the Beljoxa’s eye thing? And whatever
devours from beneath, and Spike’s soul, and Faith, and why was Angel
even there?
JOSS: I have lots of power shots to make up for it.
Giles asks if Buffy really wants his opinion, and she says she really
does. Awww, isn’t that…something. Willow says wait, she’s the one who is
going to have to pull it off. Oh, you just know Kennedy wants her to,
literally. Giles trusts Willow, but Willow expresses some doubts as to
her ability, it’s loss of control and not in that “nice, wholesome,
my-girlfriend-has-a-pierced-tongue way”. That was for you, friendly
Kennedy/Willow shipper person who commented! A few more supportive
comments about Willow’s ability, and Dawn speculating on getting her
tongue pierced. Buffy puts Dawn on research duty, saying she should have
been in Oxnard. Anya says that she and Xander should go assemble the
cannon fodder. Hey! I named an SiT that in one of my early parodies! I
want credit. Now. Buffy hands the scythe over to Willow such that she
can read its energy. I am really starting to hate that scythe. Yeah,
sure, at first I thought “Cool, death symbolism,” but now it seems that
all it amounts to is some orgasmic security blanket for girls.
VOICE OVER: Are menstrual difficulties plaguing your life? Try new
“Weapon of Death” brand tampons. They not only absorb, they empower.
Buffy is talking to the assembled girls in the living room. She says she
never had a choice, she was Chosen. But that it’s up to all of them to
make their own choices. Tomorrow, she is going to open the seal, go into
the Hellmouth, and finish it once and for all. She needs everyone who
will help, if they make that choice. Eh. I just find myself not caring
very much. At least the lame cookie analogy was amusing. EAT ME!
Faith and Wood are in the high school basement, blocking off different
means of escape for the Ubies. Faith says she is sorry she came across
like she was blowing him off the other day…it’s just that she was
blowing him off. Hee, okay, Faith got a laugh out of me. That’s rare.
Have I ever mentioned that I hate Faith more than an abscessed
toothache? She says that after she has sex with a guy, she figures
there’s not much else to know about him. Go fondle the scythe, Faith,
that’s all you need to know. Wood says some guys might surprise her.
Faith says no, one a guy looks at her, her priorities shift. Wood says
because she’s hot, and Faith agrees. Wood says he’s prettier than she
is. Faith looks shocked. Wood says their little experience wasn’t
exactly earth-changing, and Faith gets incredulous. He says with a
little more experience she could really…and Faith gets pissed, starting
to pull of her shirt to prove to make him give her a little respect. Oh,
the irony. I’d quip more, but I am actually liking Faith here. Problem
is, she keeps saying ”yo” a lot. I mean, yo? Wood stops her and says
that if they live through this, she should give him a chance to surprise
her. Faith agrees. Oh, goodie. He can take her to his garage full of
creepy crosses and they can argue about who is prettier.
Willow and Kennedy are talking, and Willow says she is relying on
Kennedy. Kennedy says she’ll keep her grounded, and Willow says no, she
means kill her, if things get ugly. Kennedy says no way that’s going to
happen, and besides, Buffy believes in her. Willow says Buffy is sweet
but not that bright. Ouch. Shut up, Willow. I hate Buffy as much as
anyone, but you’re supposed to be her friend, whereas I am not. Kennedy
says she’d have called Buffy out if she didn’t make sense, that she
knows she (Kennedy) is a brat, but that Willow will make it through
this. They kiss.
Giles and Xander are mapping out battle strategies in the dining room.
Other Potentials are present. Pan to see Andrew, sitting there in a red
cloak and reading from a rule book. Turns out they are playing D&D. Some
funny quips about the game, and Giles says he wishes he could sleep.
Amanda wonders who could sleep on a night like this? Well, I certainly
could. Just speak to me of nebulous battle plans and play around a bit
more with love triangles. The shot widens to show Anya, snoring away at
the table. Xander pats her on the head and says “Only the crazy ones”.
Awww, that was kinda sweet. Too bad it all gets ruined later.
Dawn is sitting with a bunch of potentials in her bedroom. She’s telling
stories about Buffy – the Master and her first death. She says to stop
worrying, Buffy always saves the day. This from Judas herself? I am
getting more and more confused about continuity. I think the writers all
threw a bunch of ideas into a hat, pulled some out, used them, and
didn’t bother to connect anything. Oh, wait, maybe it’s like “Go” or
“The Wizard of Oz”. I’m sure it’ll all make sense when time goes wonky.
Buffy stands on the front porch and looks worried and alone. After a
while, she heads inside. I assume this was our shoot report scene. Well,
that was thrilling.
In the basement, Spike sits on the bed, staring at the amulet, thinking.
Hmm. Maybe he should rub it and make three wishes?
1. I wish clothes would adhere to my body.
2. I wish for my balls back.
3. I wish to have a large role on AtS next season, even if I die a
tragic death.
He gets up as Buffy comes in. They both stand on opposite sides of the
room, looking at each other. And, the hell now? This is all of the
scene. Here it is, night, and Buffy and Spike are having a staring
contest. All of a sudden it’s day in the next scene. I can see where
people think something is missing.
OK, so, it’s day. Wood and the girls head into the high school,
apparently out of some buses. Hee, I’ll bet they are short buses.
Inside, Buffy gives directions. The potentials are to follow Spike and
Faith to the basement. Willow and Kennedy go to Wood’s office. Wood
points out the three areas in which the Ubies can break out of the
building. Wood and Giles take one, Xander and Dawn another, Anya and
Andrew the third. Andrew begins to read from a paper about how thankful
he is to die for this cause, giving a shout out to his brother Tucker.
Anya drags him off. Dawn heads off to check out the layout.
Giles, Buffy, Willow and Xander are left – the original four. I am sure
some will love this, but I have never been a fan of the “Core Four”. It
means nothing to me. Buffy asks what they want to do tomorrow. Xander
suggests mini-golf, and Buffy shopping. Willow brings up a new mall
store. Buffy mentions her shoe craving. They separate, and there’s
another shot of Willow, Buffy, and Xander walking down the hall together
in slo-mo before peeling off. I think there might be some American
Singles attached to my script here *attempts to brush off the cheese*.
Buffy comes down into the basement. There’s music and she’s hearing key
phrases from her past in her head. Looks like the cheese stuck.
Resilient stuff. Spike’s there at the end of the hall, waiting for her.
She gets to the edge of the seal, where the potentials and Faith are.
They slice their hands, dripping their blood onto the seal.
In Wood’s office, Willow and Kennedy prepare the spell. 
Back downstairs, Spike mentions to Buffy that it doesn’t feel like the
amulet is doing anything. Besides, he looks like Elizabeth Taylor. Buffy
says she’s not worried. They look down, and there’s a cavern filled with
thousands of Ubies. Buffy repeats that she’s not worried…Buffy closes
her eyes, muttering under her breath that Willow needs to do it now.
She’s not worried, as long as Willow can work the spell before they are
seen…
Too late. The Ubies charge.
So, I guess this will be our big battle sequence? Why was this act so
long, when it had so little, and tied up *nothing*? Don’t ask me.
SPARKY: Want some zucchini?
JOSS: No, don’t offer her treats. She is ripping on my masterpiece.
BUBONIC: To steal another joke from my friend, Angel is a wanker, the
Scoobies are nonessential, Buffy is a cookie, and Spike is toast.
Where’s the impressive finale?
SPARKY: Even Wrongda didn’t seem keen.
BUBONIC: I kinda lost patience after having to type up act 2 three damn
times. It's not worth it.
JOSS: Can we get a commercial here?
VOICE OVER: Do you miss your love, but want to get rid of her current?
Come to Amulets R Us. We have tons of flashy jewelry that the bad boys
love to wear, and will request upon mention. Guaranteed to burn him up
in the next apocalypse, while you get away clean and clear, all ready
for five years down the road.
Back in the cavern, the girls are terrified. Yeah, there are supposed to
be thousands, or something. Since that report I have had images of six
guys yelling “Grr!” in front of a green screen, and it makes me laugh.
Anyway, the army of Ubies is approaching. Buffy whispers to Willow…And,
is this telepathic or not? I dunno. I have no idea if she’s just wishing
for the spell or if she has a connection, so don’t ask me later.
Frankly, I don’t care.
Willow and Kennedy are still in the office. Willow’s mumbling under her
breath, and Kennedy speaks her name. Willow shoots Kennedy a “shut up”
look. Oh, is that all it took? Dammit, I have been shooting “shut up”
looks since FD. Never worked for me.
Buffy and Faith start to think about retreat…That word makes me think of
Bible Retreat. Not to mock the religious, or those who aren’t, but Bible
Retreat is damn funny.
SCHOOLKID 1: So, I was thinking about making a Popsicle stick person
into Jesus.
TEACHER: Oh, yes, that sounds good.
SCHOOLKID 2: Those colors are wrong! 
He grabs the Popsicle Jesus and beats Schoolkid one over the head with
it.
In the office, Willow suddenly tenses up. “Oh…my…goddess”. Kennedy gets
slammed by a force. I think said force must have been the realization of
how crappy this has been so far.
Flashback to more of Buffy’s speech to the Potentials. She asks, what if
they change the rules? From now on, every girl who could have been a
Slayer will be. They’ll have strength they never dreamed of. And they
will have each other. She asks them to make their choice – are they
ready to be strong? This goes on forever, and I don’t feel like summing
it up any more than I have. Whee, girl power, yay.
VOICE OVER: When you move to college, you will note that every girl in
the dormitory begins her cycle at the same time. This is normal. But, be
sure to use “Weapon of Death” brand tampons. They’ll bake your dough,
and if you light them on fire, they are a powerful tool against the
forces of Evil. Go, girls!
In the present, Kennedy’s eyes flicker with power. It’s hard and soft,
like a first orgasm. It really says that. In the script. The first
orgasm thing. I don’t even want to comment.
In India, a girl gets hit with the power, falling to the floor. 
In an inner city school, an African-american girl leans against her
locker, looking puzzled. Forget the combination?
In a trailer, a girl stops a guy from hitting her – it won’t be
happening again.
In a Japanese home, a girl breaks away from the dinner table, a little
unsteady. The cynical part of me wants to compare what time it is in
Sunnydale to what time it actually is in Japan, since I have an ex who
lives there.
On a baseball diamond, a girl who is batting suddenly feels the power
and readies her stance.
In Chicago, a girl suddenly feels nauseous, and wishes she’d never
watched season seven.
In the cavern, Faith and Buffy smile at each other. Faith asks if Buffy
feels that, and Buffy says she really does. The Ubies rush, and the
Slayers beat them back. Spike is doing the same, holding his own.
In the office, Kennedy is still giddy. She recovers enough to notice
Willow, who has changed, bathed in white light, her hair turned white.
She is weeping. After a moment, she returns to normal, spent. Kennedy
calls her a goddess. Willow calls Kennedy a Slayer. She tosses Kennedy
the scythe, telling her to take it to Buffy.
Back in the cavern, Kennedy tosses Buffy the scythe, and they all fight
with the newfound power. We go to slo-mo. Again? Buffy swings through
the vamps, demolishing them. Faith, too. A few make it to the back and
climb up the seal.
In the atrium, Dawn and Xander wait. Xander tells Dawn she’s in his
blind spot. Great. Xander has been reduced to eye jokes.
Andrew and Anya are in the other hall. Anya says she’s terrified, she
just thought he would be terrified and she’d be sarcastic about it.
Andrew mentions calming things, and eventually, bunnies. Anya’s eyes
narrow. She brings her sword up, no longer afraid.
Giles and Wood hold off vamps in their hall.
Anya and Andrew fight off the vamps, but bringers come up from behind.
Spike is fighting, but becomes a bit distracted by the amulet. He calls
for Buffy, but she is fighting. He drops to his knees, wrenched by pain.
Buffy and Faith keep fighting. A sword slices into Buffy’s stomach, and
she falls down. Faith tackles the vamp behind Buffy as she falls.
Not so much with the funny this act. I'm getting tired. And bored. And
the next one kills me.
No more jokes. This last act is a straight summary for those who
requested it.
Xander swings a sword, getting beaten back by Ubies, and Dawn pulls the
shade down from the skylight dusting them. Another Ubie gets ready to
attack Xander..
The bringers drive Anya and Andrew apart. They are separated into
different halls. A Bringer comes up behind Anya, stabbing her repeatedly
as she falls to the ground, dead.
Faith makes her way to Buffy, who is still alive. She hands Faith the
scythe. Starts going nuts on the Ubies.
Searing pain is coursing through Spike. He tosses away a vamp and
clutches his stomach.
Faith tosses the scythe to Rona, who is being swarmed by Ubies. Buffy’s
injured and her vision is blurred – Amanda falls before her, dead.
A couple of nameless Slayers die, and Buffy finds herself face to face
with the First. It taunts her, and she tells it to get out of her face,
pulling herself up on her hands. The First looks worried. Buffy rises,
and Rona tosses her the scythe. Buffy swings and kills five ubies with
one blow. The girls force them back
Spike stumbles on the seal opening. Energy suddenly shoots up through
him, up, up, up, through the office. Willow sees, says she didn’t do
that. The energy breaks through the ceiling, letting sunlight pour down.
Spike is pinned. Pain and something else is building within him. He
calls for Buffy, and she races to him, calling back, but has to dive
away as a “ray of pure, soulful sunlight blasts out of the amulet and
into the cavern”. All the Ubies are immediately dusted, and the walls
start to crumble.
Faith yells for everyone to get out. Buffy comes to Spike, the energy
still pouring from him. “I can feel it, Buffy,” he says. She asks what.
“My soul. It’s there. Kinda stings.”
The Slayers still run for the entrance. Giles and Wood are ushering them
onto the bus. Kennedy helps Willow, Dawn helps Xander as Xander calls
for Anya. But her body is hidden by the bodies of Bringers. A girl grabs
Andrew, pulling him out as he asks why…
Buffy is still with Spike. He tells her to go on. Buffy says he’s done
enough, he can still…He stops her. He says no, she started it, it’s for
him to do the cleanup. Faith calls for Buffy from the entrance.
Everything is falling all around them. Spike tells Buffy that its time
for her to move. Buffy says his name one more time, and he says he means
it. He has to do this. His hand is held up, in pain, and she takes it in
hers. Both of their hands burst into flame, and they ignore it, just
looking at each other. “I love you,” Buffy says . A moment passes, and
Spike smiles kindly. “No you don’t. But thanks for saying it.” There’s
another big quake.
“It’s your world up there…now go,” he yells at her. She looks back at
him, then runs. Spike looks up at the destruction, and smiles. “I wanna
see how it ends.”
Outside, Wood starts up the school bus, and then peels away. Dawn is
standing there looking for Buffy.
Buffy is trapped inside, nowhere to go but up the stairs.
Spike still smiles, as the power eats away from within him. The world
falls away as he dies. Yes, it says that. He dies.
The bus moves on. Faith is helping Wood’s wound. Giles is helping Rona.
Andrew is alone, wondering why it wasn’t he who died. Xander tends a
Potential. Dawn looks out the back windows, and Buffy is running to
catch the falling bus, buildings collapsing everywhere.
The bus makes it out of Sunnydale. Buffy and Dawn hug. Xander asks
Andrew what he saw, and Andrew says she was incredible, dying to save
his life. Xander puts his hand on Andrew’s shoulder, and says, “ That’s
my girl, always doing the stupid thing.”
Faith checks out Wood, making sure he is okay. Suddenly, he’s still, as
if dead, but then he coughs. “Surprise,” he says.
At the edge of the Hellmouth, Giles looks out and says he doesn’t
understand what did this. “Spike,” Buffy says. Everyone is milling about
near the crater. Giles says there is another Hellmouth in Cleveland, and
Xander says they saved the world. Willow clarifies that they *changed*
the world. She can feel Slayers awakening everywhere. Dawn says they
have to find them, and Willow says they will.
Giles mentions the mall, and that there’s no hope of getting there
tomorrow. Xander mourns the loss of the stores – no more Gap or
Starbucks or Toys R Us. Giles says there’s a lot of work ahead, and
Faith offers to push him into the crater. Willow asks Buffy what she
wants to do. Faith says yeah, Buffy has to live like a person now. Dawn
asks what they will do, as well. Close on Buffy, as she looks at the
crater. A small smile creeps up on her lips.
End show.

 L'ho letto in fretta, ma mi pare molto potente.
A me pare un po'... strano che Joss abbia scritto una cosa cosi' fuori dai
suoi alti standard. In certi punti mi trovo d'accordo con Bubonic, e questo
capita _molto_ raramente. Secondo me' e' un fake. (O meglio, e' la
sceneggiatura, ma certi punti li sta cambiando durante le riprese).
Cmq ora lo leggo meglio...

Dal punto di vista dell'RPG, apre la via a qualunque tipo di gioco, quindi i
gamers saranno contenti.
Pero'... Boh, aspetto di vedere l'episodio prima di commentare. Una cosa non
mi e' piacuita: non si sentiva il bisogno di aggiungere carne al fuoco dopo la
sesta e tutti i casini gia' avvenuti nella settima. Va bene che il gran finale
deve avere i botti, ma mi sembra che Joss abbia esagerato con... I botti.

Solitamente Bub non sbaglia mai ç__ç
Comunque spero vivamente che quello che Bub ha postato sia un Fake
messo in giro da Joss per sviare i fans.
Comunque direi che Bub sia in buona fede.

Sinceramente dopo una dimostrazione di mancanza delle basi minime della civile
convivenza internettiana non sono interessato a mostrare alcun tatto.

 Per i dettagli non credo siano veritieri.
Bubonic ha di certo una sceneggiatura, le ha sempre e sono sempre vere. Ma
credo che Joss l'abbia scritta assurda (in certi punti) volutamente.
Tanto per dirne una.

Spike muore e Buffy, dopo avergli detto che lo ama, sorride... cioe' ma ti
pare? E Xander, dopo che Anya è morta si preoccupa che non ci sarà piu' Toys
R' Us???
Il discorso iniziale con Angel ci sta anche (a parte il biscotto), anzi, il
fatto che lui si incazzi per Spuffy e' LOL :D, ma poi... mah! mah!
Tensai ci crede, ma io ancora no, finche' non vedo non credo. Insomma Joss
e' quello che ha cambiato il finale di Beneath You perche' faceva schifo ed
ha tramutato una schifezza in un pezzo bellissimo, come puo' fare certe
cagate? Io non ci credo.



 cagate? Io non ci credo.
Laz, è quello che penso anche io a questo punto,
non dubito che Bub abbia una sceneggiatura, ma dubito che sarà
quella finale.
Nel senso, oltre quello che hai detto tu (su cui sono d'accordo)
ci sono anche altre incongruenze (che ora ovviamente non mi sovvengono
-_-).
E poi, mi sembra un finale molto banale e scontato, Spike, ex cattivo
ora redento si sacrifica per salvare il mondo e la sua amata,
si è visto mille volte!
Non sono da Joss queste cose!
Secondo me la storyline sarà quella raccontata da Bub, ma ci saranno
dei cambiamenti.
E poi, un'altra cosa, B/S dormono due volte assieme? Una va bene,
ma due mi pare un pò strano...mmmm...


 Per i dettagli non credo siano veritieri.
E' quello che penso anche io :-)
E soprattuto, è quello che vivamente spero.
