Is Buffy the best TV Finale?
I've just finished a rewatch and the S7 finale is practically perfect to me. I can't think of a show with such a satisfying ending.
The only things I can pick on are that if they'd just sent Spike down there first, he could've fried everyone without the need for anyone else to die (though granted, that's terrible television 😂), multiple Turok Han's being taken out by Scoobies when 1 absolutely battered Buffy earlier in the season and Buffy's ridiculously impractical footwear choice for the final fight 🤷🏻♂️
I thought it was sad that Amanda died, but they needed a potential we knew to die in that moment to sow the seeds of doubt.
Anya was a good sacrifice as it needed someone we cared about to die but not a core scooby, so it was her or Dawn and Dawn dying would've been a way sadder ending.
That final shot of realisation for Buffy that she could live a normal life was 🤌🏼
