She saved the world. A lot. And that's pretty much what this epic finale was all about. "The Gift" has taken the Best Episode Tourney as voted by the people and boy does it deserve it! It's a favorite around here at Buffyfest... I've personally watched this episode more than any other by far. Some of us believe that if this 100th episode was the true series finale, it would be the best series final of any show, ever. From the flashing "previously on Buffy The Vampire Slayer" montage all the way to the final headstone shot, it truly is a masterpiece of an ep. Not to mention that every single character is at the very top of their game at this point in the story, including the fabulous season villain: Glory. Let's recap "The Gift" in photos:

I love "The Gift," and would definitely pick it over any other Buffy finales. In fact, it was Buffy's sacrifice that really made me rethink the way that I viewed her character, and when she became my favorite character on the show. However, I have to say that my favorite Whedonverse finale is the Angel series finale, "Not Fade Away." I think it is actually my favorite finale PERIOD, not just in the Whedonverse.
ReplyDeleteA very worthy winner. It's not necessarily my favourite but definitely one of the best.
