Random Thoughts on Tonight's Buffy (WARNING: Spoilers!)

Just a few general remarks this time out:

Hey, I'm finally starting to feel that ominous sense of impending doom the writers have been trying so hard to instill in the audience for so long. I suspect it probably has a lot more do to with the fact that it's finally starting to sink in that the series really is almost over than with the actual storyline, but it works just as well either way.

It's good to see Buffy finally getting her head together and breaking that cycle of alternating bitchiness and self-pity she's been in for most of this season, even if I do think she took a bit too much screentime doing it. And the scene she had with Xander was really quite touching (much more so than anything involving Spike, if you ask me).

I heart Andrew. Completely. I mean, just how adorable is he in this one? I think I'm going to miss him way more than Buffy.

Judging by the previews, next week's series finale does look pretty exciting. (Well, it'd be a major anticlimax if it wasn't, wouldn't it?) I'm glad to see that apparently we haven't yet seen the last of Caleb. I'm liking him better as a bad guy all the time.

Okay, I really want to see some Buffy-Giles interaction. Now. Please.
