On The Finale

...I understand there is some real pain and grief out there... but Joss did not pack up his dollies and lock them in a cupboard and refuse to let us play with them.
(Some people were comparing it to Farscape. This is NOT like Farscape.)

Let's review the bidding, shall we?

On the Side of Light
One vampire (souled) who was banished to Hell.
One vampire (souled) who was incinerated.
One human (Auxillary Champion) who grew up in the Los Angeles ghetto.
One demigoddess who was banished to a hole in the world.
One 'verse where death is less of a permanence and more of a state of mind.

And then, there's

The Other Guys
One dragon.
One horde of demons from hell.

Pfft. This isn't even a fair fight. This is what we in the writing business call a 'story starter'. Joss just tossed the fandom the keys to the 'verse and said, "Remember to lock up when you're done."

Do you realize exactly what we have here? This all started with a stupid B-movie starring a couple of teen idols over a decade ago. No one ever expected us to get this far. And they're not expecting us to go any farther.

We'll show them.

Follow orders as you're told,
Make Their Yellow Blood Run Cold
Fight until you die or drop,
A Force Like Ours is Hard to Stop
Close your mind to stress and pain,
Fight till You're No Longer Sane
Let not one damn cur pass by,
How Many of Them Can We Make Die!

Long Live Fanfic.
