rashaka, i agree. and i think they handled it pretty well. i really DIDN'T want a spuffy ending and i was satisfied with how it worked out. i'm one of the few who agreed w/spike - no, buffy really didn't love (not in *that* way). she's still all half-baked. not sure what she wants. oh, yeah, she cared and all...

but the spuffy people are mostly happy because they can say, "oh spikey, you lied to make her feel better."

either way, happy fans, right? or slightly dissatisfied fans all around. whatever. it was their ending to do with as they pleased.

and picking a specific writer to blame for your fave character not turning out the way YOU wanted? how sad is that? if ya don't like it, write a fanfic.

anyway... uh... to sum up... i agree.
