I liked this essay; it's very astute. I'd also quibble, like the others, that only 30 slayers got the choice, but the rest of the world didn't. But the rest fits, as does Buffy's cookie dough speech. She's not done yet, she doesn't know where she's headed, and the last shot we have of the series is of the gang facing an open road. So I guess the message we're meant to take is that we make our own choice, our own changes, our own destinies. Although, if there had been an S8, we might have seen the consequences of the gang's decision, and so on.
