HERE IT IS the final episode. I subscribed when you started buffy season 3. I recommend Firefly and/or Dollhouse if you want to watch another weadon show with similar actors from buffy/angel.

Also the graphic novel, AFTER THE FALL, picks up after this episode, and you find out what happens to all of our characters.

I've been waiting so long for this one. Watching it tonight. Rarely commented, but really appreciated your Buffy and Angel commentary. Had a lot of the same views you did on characters such as Connor, Riley, Faith, & Darla & it was especially satisfying to see you be able to appreciate the swings of S4, while acknowledging the mistakes. I will probably comment again after watching. Happy nothing was spoiled by any of us.

I've been watching your reactions since you first started Buffy and even a few movie reactions you were a part of over on your brother's channel before then. Surreal that this journey has come to an end after all this time but I'm glad you didn't do what so many reactors do and start trying to drag it out towards the end to milk it dry, which soured me towards them and made me drop them as reactors entirely afterwards (and sometimes even before) Overall it's been very enjoyable and I've liked that you're quite level headed about events and characters while also having a good sense of humour and appreciating the funny parts of these shows. I don't like the graphic novels and agree with you that you shouldn't be required to read or check out stuff outside of the show to get a whole and complete experience. In fact, without spoiling them, even if they're considered canon (I think they are?) I don't recognize them as such, I refuse to. The show is the main (and only) arena imo. Felt similarly to you with this ending straight after, but after a while it landed and Iactually like it. I understood it right from the start, it wasn't that, but it just took me a while thinking about it and letting it sit with me to really vibe with it because like you said, Buffy and Angel are shows that stick with you and make you think. It's not just mindless entertainment and distraction. I'm a philosophical and melancholic person sometimes so the whole theme of fighting the good fight for the sake of it and not because of some reward or big payoff as a metaphor for life really resonates with me. And yeah, these are shows that are great for rewatches. They are so layered and peppered with details that there's something new to discover to last you not just one rewatch, but several, if that's your thing. I've changed perspectives on several of the characters compared to my first watch, and others I've changed it only to come full circle and end up where I first started and everything inbetween. As for Lindsey, he wasn't really ever redeemable. He had a glimmer of possibility back in season 1, but as we've seen since he doesn't care about anyone but himself and is a power hungry opportunist consumed by overblown self importance. Not even him being into Darla counts, because he only cared about what he wanted from her, not truly about her as a person. Angel knew he's dangerous and a flip flopper, and the decision to take him out is akin to Giles killing Ben to prevent the risk of Glory coming back. It's a threat to be eliminated. It was fitting that it was Lorne because Lindsey was never as important as he percieved himself to be. There was a certain poetic justice to his end in that sense.

Was a fun ride! Loved rewatching the Buffyverse with you. Could we get into another Joss show next? Perhaps Dollhouse? 👀 😌

I'm a huge fan of this ending, I haven't read the comics nor do I want to read them. My interpretation is that the fight never ends and there is always something worth fighting for. Thanks for all these reactions, really enjoy them. From the Buffyverse to Friends to Modern Family and the movies you react to, love them all!

Spike’s poem was the one he wrote for Cecily in his first flashback 😍 he finally got the praise he deserved

Mary Kate

Also I love how this shows that Connor was always capable of being a normal kid. Holtz completely messed him up. If we’d had this version of Connor the whole time, no one would’ve hated him.

Harmony has no soul, remember. She was always going to do this!

Mary Kate

I hate seeing Lindsey go out like that but his last words—“Angel kills me”—shows he was always going to turn on them. He’s just insulted he didn’t get killed by the leader. And yes those were angels orders. So sad but it makes sense

Mary Kate

Whenever I just THINK the words “would you like me to lie to you now?” I start to cry

Mary Kate

“You take the 30,000 on the left” is the same line Gunn said in Pylea

Sorry for the tons of comments! This is my favorite finale, my favorite episode of the show, and my favorite episode of any show. I love how it ends mid-fight. I haven’t read the comics, because I think this is the perfect ending. They all go down fighting like they said they would. I love it. We fight not to win, but because the fight is worth it 😭😭😭

Mary Kate

You should really really watch Passion of the Nerds videos now. He has a great analysis on this episode.
