Season three's finale episodes!

I am a big fan of this episode. I often turn it on just to watch Buffy kick the crap out of Faith! (Don't hate me, don't hate me)

It's really a good episode for Spuffy shippers too! Angel definitely leaves Buffy behind (a continuiation from The Prom.)

Did anybody else think that even Snyder got what was coming to him! ??? 🙂
 
There are excellent episodes! The Buffy-Faith is one of my favourites, it looks so cool! I loved the all out war on the Mayor by the students, That moment where they take off their graduation cloths and reveal all their weapons - Brilliant!

And Snyder totally got what was coming to him, lol. When you think of how much of an ass he was at the start of season 3! It was also a nice way to have the character, I think it would have been really crappy if he just wasn't on the show anymore. Although thinking about it now it would have been really cool if he left for season 4,5 and 6 and was then principal of Dawn in season 7. Seeing him deal with grown up Buffy, Xander and Willow would have been so funny!
 
Oh, I forgot about the time the students whip off their graduation robes. If I remember correctly, I think that moment gave me the goosebumps. It's nice. The students are finally accepting and willing to help out!
 
hm, haven't seen this episode in a while. i know that in part one, i really liked the xanya scenes, cause im a big xanya fan, as well as an anya fan. they were good scenes. i was hoping she'd show up again. buffy-faith fight was great too. when they left it off at that point, i was watching it live, so i was itching with anticipation of what happened next! i like the development for willow and oz cause the way it was done was very sweet! i kind of liked how they went out with a bang, literally, by destroying the school. it was like a symbol that the high school portion of their life was over, and it was time to go on to bigger things. oh, and i like how the mayor is making the speech and there's that funny line- "Oh my god! He's going to do the entire speech" "Just ascend already" "Evil". lots of funny, lots of romance, lots of drama, and more. not seeing the bad in these. i really liked them!
 
You know what? We also need to discuss that weird 'dream' between Buffy and Faith. I am always puzzled by some of the things that go on in this part.

I know about the Little Miss Muffet realization (Dawn is later called curds and whey...so referencing to Dawn), but what about some of the other stuff? How exactly did they get into each other's minds? And what exactly does 7-3-0 stand for?
 
im not sure they're in each others minds; it could be just buffy imagining faith. but i think it could totally be the other way too, in which case i have no clue how. ive heard that 7-3-0 was supposed mean two years (in terms of days), and had something to do with buffy going to die in two years. if its related to the little miss muffet comment, then maybe its because she sacrificed herself for dawn.
 
Here I am making a post on the last day, waiting till the last minute...so like me.

I actually really liked these Eps. Oz was exceptionally funny, especially his last line insinuating that surviving highschool was harder that the giant Mayor-Snake. I liked all the eps leading up to this one as well, it was very well set up.

8/10
 
Oh yeah, I loved that too. That we had this huge set up for this battle, The suspence leading up to it from the load of eps before it wad fantastic!
 
i know this isn't exclusively "graduation day" and all, but this is an amazing video that sums up s3, and freakydorky's post reminded me of it. it really portrays s3 well, no? : http://jetwolf.livejournal.com/ (look to the left, under 4paws video edition. it's called "pretty good year")
