May 20, 2003 was the date of the series finale of Buffy The Vampire Slayer airing on UPN. It has been ten years since the Buffy finale. Isn’t that amazing? It was that night that I sat in front of the TV stressing wondering how the show was going to end. Would my favorites survive? Would we get a cliffhanger ending? How would it all resolve? I’m still happy looking back with how Buffy ended. I thought the show wrapped up really nicely. We got a good closure. With Joss Whedon, it is a definite fear among all of us fans that we just want our favorites to survive. It is a question that he often gets asked at conventions on why he has this thing for killing off liked characters. It has almost turned into a joke of sorts cause he knows the question is coming. Taking heat from fans of different characters from throughout the Whedonverse. The finish of Buffy saw her taking on what seemed to be impossible odds with the big bad. There was the big hero moment in the finale with Spike where he helped save the world. This would also play into his return to Angel in the final season of that show later that year. I still love the image of the Scooby gang up there standing together at the end after the slayer power had been released all over the world. The look of peace on Buffy’s face of that everything was going to be ok. The weight of the world was off. I was very happy with the ending of the show. It just felt like Joss wrapped that finale and the finished story in a nice little wrapped up box and gave it to us fans. A year later, Angel would give us a different style of finale leaving many things open ended.
