Tyler ✨

AND HERE. WE. GO. Gonna have my coffee, watch this episode with you, and ugly cry before going to class.

Erika

😩😩😩😓😓 “death is your gift” this moment clicks for us all, my friend.

thorreacts

This whole season has been a rollercoaster, so I guess it just makes sense that it ends like this... hope you enjoy!

thorreacts

Yeah this one is tough yet also to me a perfectly fitting ending of the season

thorreacts

I wonder how many people figured it out ahead of time, but that moment of realization along with Buffy hit hard

Erika

not me that’s for sure!!! 🤣 i was right there with you

And to think that this WAS supposed to be the series finale. On one hand, I felt like it was the perfect culmination for Buffy's arc as the slayer. Finally fulfilling her destiny and finding peace. On the other, I'm incredibly grateful that the series got renewed for two additional seasons. Season 6 definitely takes a dark turn, but is filled with amazing storytelling and writing. And season 7 is a perfect final season. But this has to be my favorite episode of the series. So many tender and heartwrenching moments, mixed with the comedic relief that Joss Whedon is so well known for.

One of my favourite shots is Buffy looking back to see the raising dawn and the look of peace on her face, knowing what she had to do, it says everything about who she is, she is hero. She also gets the choice that probably no slayer has ever got. She went out on her own terms! Big shout out to Dawn too, she was also willing to sacrifice herself for the greater good, that’s summers blood for you.

SpikesEcho

Aww it looks like you missed out on the "Previously On" montage....

Donna Anderson

I’m normally a fan of skipping the previously on for shows because they tend to be spoilery. But the previously on for the season 5 finale is something else and I consider it PART of the episode. Nick you’ll have to see if you can see it somewhere at some point (without seeing spoilers for other stuff).

Kristen Rose

This episode hits even harder when you realize this was intended to be the very last season of the show 💔 Thank God they changed their minds 🙏 I can't wait for you to get into season 6... not only does it contain the best episode ever created in Buffy history!!! but there is also some very interesting character development.

Tyler ✨

Yes!!! I also feel like this moment was foreshadowed a bit by April the robot, when she said, "It's always darkest before the....". I mean, that was the episode right before Joyce died. So, I feel like it was foreshadowing the darkness that Buffy would go through from losing Joyce. But also the moment when dawn breaks atop of the tower and Buffy realizes what she has to do. I truly feel like she finds peace in that moment.

Peppermint

What gets me is this whole season how exhausted she looked but in that moment she looked at peace, and it reminds me of something spike says to her in an earlier season that every slayer yearns for it at some point which is why he was able to kill those slayers. And in that moment Buffy looked so at peace, which she hadn't looked the whole season at all. But Spikes breakdown at the end is so sad. The thing that people forget in the buffy verse is Vampires are considered tainted demons because they are only half demon. The Judge episode alone shows he has humanity. Not to the extent that he's good, but to the point where the judge could touch Angel without burning him but couldn't touch Spike and Dru because they reeked of humanity.

Flora Smith

Literally the ONLY time you wouldn’t be wrong to skip the previously on 😭😭😭😭

Christina Gmiterko

This is probably my favorite episode of the whole show. Buffy had a five year contract with the WB, so this was actually meant to be the series finale. It was not originally planned beyond that. I'm happy we got 2 more seasons (on another network), but this was meant to be the final episode originally.

Christina Gmiterko

I like that it can be interpretted two ways, yes she is a hero, but that look on her end is not only peace, but relief. Her self sacrifice saved the world and all her friends, but I think there was a large part of her that just wanted to go and be done.

Sᴏᴄɪᴀʟ Kɪᴅ

" Imagine if the entire show had ended like" Well actually, this is how the show was planned to end. At the last minute they decided to do 2 more seasons. But they built this season up like it was suppose to be the Buffy send off.

Nicola Rush

Told you the episodes were EPIC! Short answer is YES she really is dead, but also to stay tuned! You'll be impressed by what happens next!

Nicola Rush

I totally agree with you, this is a part of the episode in my opinion aswell! I also agree in trying to edit it, this is the 100th episode of the entire show which is why they start it like this, so makes the episode a lot more meaningful.

Sᴏᴄɪᴀʟ Kɪᴅ

So to clear up your confusion at the end of the episode, they thought they could kill Buffy because this was to be the last episode of the series.

Stacey

Oh noooo the previously on was skipped. Please go back and react to it. This was the 100th episode and the previously on was EPIC

SweetSummit

Olaf the troll's hammer is literally like Thor's hammer. Joss Whedon wrote it that way so that only Buffy was worthy of picking it up.

Milku Grace TV

THANK YOU. Others already told you she is, indeed, really dead. It's true. This was intended to be the final season of Buffy. I cry every time since it was supposed to be the true finale. I can't say what happens next, but the show is still worth watching! THANK YOU!

Stacey

I love that in the season 1 final buffy tells Jenny "when Giles wakes up tell him....I don't know think of something cool tell him I said it" and in this she says to dawn "tell Giles I figured it out and I'm ok"

Nicola Rush

I totally agree and please do react to that aswell!!

RavenLord

Every time you predicted that "no major character will die," I had to shake my head with a smile. As other commenters had said, this was set up to be a series finale, and yes, they killed off Buffy herself.

Raven Dark

"...I'm going optimistic, that no other major character is going to get killed off this season..." *Buffy swan dives* *Deadpan stare* You were saying? Watching reactors's faces the moment they realize what "Death is your gift" actually means never gets old. At this point, I'm not sure if the writers planned for this to be the end of the series because they didn't know if the show would be picked up by the network at the time, or if they still intended for there to be more after this episode, but they just weren't sure if it would be picked up. I hear both versions all the time. Whatever the case, when this episode aired, there were many of us in the fandom that had heard the show would be ending here. If you thought this was tough for you, imagine what it was like for us who were faced with the knowledge that this, *this was* the end. I was one of those who had heard the news before ever finding out another network had picked up the show. Needless to say, when I saw this episode, I burst into sobs. That said, as much as I love season 6 and 7, season 5 is my favorite, and this episode is, hands down, my favorite episode of the entire series. Now, knowing that we get two more seasons after it, I love it all the more. Fantastic reaction, Nick. You never disappoint, and I can't wait to watch the rest of the series with you.

Amber

Normally I sob while rewatching this, but I sob-laughed this time! Great reactions, and so much fun. I am very much enjoying the denial, and shall we say, <i>Bargaining</i>...

DarkstarX84

Surprised, I thought for that part of your reaction would've included the previously on that features everything from the pilot to the current episode as it's the 100th episode. It's a hell of a way to celebrate the series, with the main character's death. If I'm being honest, I kinda prefer this ending as the series finale as opposed to the actual series finale, I mean I still love the series finale, but this finale just feels like it was well set-up and ending with all the character arcs completed; but left in territory in which they could go on and there would still a continuing story to tell. Another thing is that I like how each character plays a part in taking down Glory: Anya providing the weapons and strategy, Tara leading the team to where Glory's location was, Willow weakening her and getting Tara's mind back, Xander hitting her with the wrecking ball, Buffy to combat her once she's been properly weakened and Giles to finish off Ben; once he's completely vulnerable.

Michael Smith

The last two seasons are some my favorite!! Season 7 is my favorite season of television to have ever existed!

Sᴏᴄɪᴀʟ Kɪᴅ

I like season 7 too! It’s so epic. I don’t wanna spoil anything, I’ll just say what they did ultimately I think was a good way to end the show.

Jennifer McIntyre

Giles killing Ben is one of my favorite dark character moments. If you notice earlier in the episode, Tara points to Giles and says, "KILLER!" like she saw something in his future.

Baaaaaabs!

The next season is a fave of mine! I can’t wait to watch it with you.

Dutchkel

I also love s7 and the ending.

Dutchkel

Me neither. As soon as they started that flashback to Summers blood though I was like, uh oh.

Antonio

I don't know if you remember Nick, but a while ago you did a collab S2 video with Domi and one of you raised the idea of Buffy dying, and you said 'Maybe, but it sounds more like a Season 5 type of thing, it wouldn't happen yet'. Cue all of us who were watching collectively holding our breath at your prophetic words...

cil

Probably my favorite episode of the series. I notice something new everytime I watch it. I recently just noticed that Tara calling Gilles a "killer" before leaving the magic shop to head to Glory was her seeing/knowing he would kill Ben in the future. The way that Tara and Willow held hands to clear the pathway for Spike to get up the tower to Dawn was similar to the way they held hands to move the vending machine in "Hush". There were so many nods to previous Buffy scenes/moments throughout this episode. You could definitely tell this was intended to be the series finale. Really glad it wasn't though. I'm curious what your take on Season 6 will be. :)
