Sister let me pass you a tissue cause I was bawlin!
I'm sure we've all seen it by now and let me just say, they said the finale was going to leave some unanswered questions but damn. Is Spike truly dead? I think he went to another dimension like Angel did when Buffy killed him. And finally Buffy said she loved Spike, I know he didn't think she meant it, but I really think she did. She turned down Angel for him and that's the love of her life.
I love Spike! He's sexy as all get out.
When they showed the part where all the little girls are now slayers, man I was crying.
There is going to be a spinoff, just watch! Sarah said in TV guide she would even make an appearace in the new show if they have one.

THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE BUFFY SERIES FINALE 'CHOSEN'
In a word: Perfect. Loose ends were tied up masterfully. Some were left peeking out for future spin-offs. The last scene was thought provoking and tear inducing. There were deaths, none were arbitrary, and each was meaningful in its own way. Of course I am talking about the series finale, "Chosen", one last masterstroke from Buffy The Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon.
Right now as I write this, I'm an hour and four minutes removed from The End. The curtains didn't close on a kiss. They closed on a beautiful smirk, displaying to us the reason that this show existed.
Today, to commemorate the final episode of Buffy, I wore a Buffy T-Shirt that I bought during the second season, and I chose an episode at complete random to watch (it turned out to be "Consequences"). Today was a great day.
There will be those that complain. I don't know what they'll say. Maybe they'll wonder why Willow didn't have a bigger part, or they'll gripe over the deaths of Anya and Spike. Perhaps they'll contemplate the lack of Angel in the episode. But I thought everything was perfect. From Spike's glorious sacrifice to Joss's beautifully executed homage to the final line of "The Harvest", this episode satisfied me to the utmost degree.
And the performances of all people, Tom Lenk as Andrew brought the major tears to my eyes with his comments both in the school and on the bus afterward. And Nicholas Brendon once again proved why he is the best young actor working in television today with his reaction to Andrew's speech. Sarah Michelle Gellar gave her most nuanced performance in years with her uniquely Emmy-worthy acting. There was so much greatness to go around in this episode.
Joss Whedon truly delivered again both in the writing and directing departments. Every line of dialogue truly flowed and I'm still convinced that he's the only writer that can make Xander sound how he's meant to sound. In the directing department, I think we need only look at his pan-and-scan in Angel's scene after the teaser, or his overhead shot of Buffy running across the rooftop of the school building.
James Marsters, brilliant always, gave perhaps his best performance to date, living up to all of the hype that inevitably surrounds him due to his impossible good looks and equally impossible acting ability.
Alyson Hannigan gave her last performance on the show as well, and I refuse to forget her. She gave a nice understated performance in "Chosen" that spoke volumes about her character.
Eliza Dushku as Faith, D.B. Woodside as Robin Wood, even the usually less than worthy Iyari Limon as Kennedy, gave equally fine-tuned performances rising to the challenges that Joss gave to them with his final epic opus.
Gosh, this is far shorter than any of my other articles but that's because I'm only writing about a single episode. "Chosen" is the last episode and, perhaps, the best. However, one thing is for sure. It was the perfect note to go out on.
"What should we do now, Buffy'" And I smile at the thoughts rushing to my brain.
One last thing: Despite what many of you think, Slayage.com and my column along with it, will go on after "Chosen". Remember: The mind of Joss Whedon still exists and so does Angel.
