I’ve got no defense for the Guardian just a feeling of relief when Caleb turned up. I can live with her as a parody of the ‘Gaia, Gaia, moon, moon, primordial matriarchy’ wing of radical feminism but that’s pushing it.
I suppose I didn’t get so much paranoid dreaming from 7.2 apart from the final scenes so there wasn’t so much to lose. And I really loved the creeping despair of Empty Places so I’ll trade you that. Overall I guess it comes down to whether you want the series to end in tragedy. Buffy’s my one true female/feminist hero so I don’t and I don’t think I have to, the hopeful ending works for me. Whether the First wanted it or not I see liberating the Potentials as a good (if scary) thing like most freedoms and have no great attachment to abandoned California real estate. Anya, I wish she could have lived. Anya, wah. But she died finally facing her fears and there was that beautiful moment with Xander and Andrew, the storyteller, showing how a lie can be truer than the literal facts.
