Feb. 4th, 2004 09:43 pmJust watched the finale of "Buffy." It was taped for me when I was in Mongolia, but the tapes were all scrambled so I never got to see it. In a way, I sort of liked that I'd never seen it. I knew everything that was going to happen from reading spoilers online and livejournal, and I liked that there was one episode I'd never seen. I taped it from the "Space" channel last week and watched it tonight. I found it emotionally draining, but well done. I was disturbed by Anya's death and the casual manner it was dealt with, but felt the rest of it tied things up rather nicely.
I'm glad that I didn't watch it at the regular time, but watched it now when I'm a bit more removed from my feelings for the show. I could try to describe my emotional attachment to this show, but I'm not going to. I've realized that it was a constant in my somewhat chaotic life of the past few years. I'm sure that if I'd watched the finale when the episode first premiered, I would have been in tears. As it was, I was merely touched.
