If the events in "Chosen" had happened in "The Gift"

[Joshua]

You guys remember back in 2001, Joss had plans for "The Gift" to be the series finale before UPN renewed the series for 2 more seasons? I'm not sure if this has been said or anything, what if Joss had used the events of season 6 & season 7 in "The Gift" like he originally planned?

1): Willow turning to the dark side, joining forces with Glory.
2): Dark Willow killing Dawn with Glory
3): Anya dying to save Xander

and the rest of the original stuff he had plans for "The Gift", would you had liked it if it was the series finale?

Is this for real what Joss was going to do? That seems like awful lot to have happen.

It seems like too much all together, I'm glad that didn't happen.

He said he'd wanted some elements of S6 and S7, if the show really ended at S5, but I don't think he'd cram all that in The Gift, or that he said he would specifically team Dark Willow with Glory etc.

Oh thank God! Cause seriously, how much sense would that have really not made?

If Willow becomes Dark Willow because of what Glory did to Tara by messing with her brain, I see her waging war aganist Glory, not teaming up with her.

I think I read somewhere that Sunnydale was supposed to collapse in The Gift like it did in Chosen, but I've never heard those 3 events listed by the original poster.

All of this is making me so beyond happy that it wasn't the series finale....
