Official Discussion of 7.22 "Chosen" (UPN-US) #2

i loved the episode but i hated who the ened it with buffy not speaking and Dawn saying the last line, i really didnt like that, and how the killed off spike., but i like buffy last line and Anya's

GILES
(looking around down the street behind them) I don't understand. Who did this?

BUFFY
Spike.

ANDREW
Picture happy things... a lake, candy canes, bunnies.

ANYA
(gets angry) Bunnies! Floppy, hoppy... (holds up her sword, ready to attack) bunnies.

What can I say.

I just finished watching it for the second time last night, and it did me proud.

The final speech, the final fight it was all amazing. Joss really did end this show with a bang.

I think the best part was when she got stabbed and The First was taunting her, the slow mo stand up thing was nice and disabling 3 turok han's at once brilliant 🙂

Also the score for The Final Fight when Buffy is doing the slom mo stand up. You can also hear it on the dvd menus when choosing an episode.

Possibly (for me) the best Buffy episode next to The Gift.
 
The thing I don't get though, is that if Spike is a vampire and they went to the school during the daytime how did Spike get there. He can't go into the sunshine. Unless I missed something that he now can go in sun without him turning into dust. Or if it was something to do with the necklace? I just don't know. You?

If you rewatch the episode and focus on the group as they are walking in to the school you'll notice spike is covered up by a blankie.

I actually missed that bit on the first viewing and it wasn't till I watched Chosen again did I think 'hmmm how did he get in there?' and rewind it to see the blanket.
 
i just watched this ep... and it is soooooo good!!! i ahev seen it before, but after watching season 5 and talking about the gift as aposible good ending ep for the whole buffy series.. i had to re-wathe it!! ansd it's so good! i love the fighting scenes, and how they say good-bye to, for example when they are in the school to open the seal, and Buffy, Xander and willow stand in front of the stairs and talk to giles and giles talks to himself, and the very core of the scoobys walk off together like season1-3 :bounce: sigh :hihi: .

and there is more then one goose bump momento.
 
Amazing episode.

Wow. Joss sure knew how to end it.

I'm SUCH a nerd, because I really found this episode to be upsetting. Maybe because it was the whole, end of the show thing, but it had such good moments.

- Buffy and Angel: Woohoo! I was sooo happy they gave us B/A in the finale episode! It was exciting -- endearing, and I loved how they made a promise for a B/A future. It was just. . . perfect to me.

- Slayers all over the world: It was a great idea. I loved it, and it really got you wondering what the different types'd be like. If there were "Mini Buffy's" out there, or people struggling with power like Faith, purely perfect.

- Faith/Robin: It was great. I was really happy she was able to find someone that could have something with her, when she really was such an unattainable character.

- Dawn: She was so cute, not letting Buffy say goodbye to her.

- Andrew: Ha, totally funny. As always. His brother Tucker. Cracked me right up.

- Anya: MAN! I was SO mad she died. However, I loved how they brought up the bunny thing. An Anya classic.

- Spuffy: I'm a HUGE Bangel fan, and yet "Touched"/"End of Days"/"Chosen" turned me Spuffy for a while. I loved the end of Spike/Buffy they closed the relationship so amazingly, and I truely believed she loved him. Esspecially since Joss wrote somewhere that she did, LOL.

- Giles/Buffy/Willow/Xander: I don't know about you guys, but them talking about going to the mall and doing "the world is doomed" thing was so peachy to me.

- "What should we do now?": I loved how she smiles. To me, that was the best part of the episode. To see how happy she is. How she was finally able to be happy.

Without that scene I think I would be really depressed about the last episode, but that is a great scene, with the four of them.. (Sort of makes up a little bit for what the whole 7th season has done to those four characters.)

I live that Angel shows up in the last episode, gets to say good-bye to the show, but does not get to be in the final battle.. Because it shouldn't end with him, he has his own show and just like Angel shouldn't end with Buffy, Buffy shouldn't end with him.
 
I know that this isn't really on topic, but almost. And if you've already talked about it please ignore this post.

My sister said something real smart about Spikes last line that I had been to dumb to see. It goes something like ...school's out for bloody summer and I always think about the song, but my sister saw the wordgame I had missed. I mean how stupid of me; Miss Summers took out the school. The school/Hellmouth had to bow down to Summer(s). I thought that was kind of funny.

That's actually cool, I didn't realize that.

That's awesome.
Great episode I loved how it wrapped up everything. Although I was pretty disappointed with Spike's and Anya's death...made me cry.
 
I love the episode to , and cried a little when Spikey died. So sad. I do agree some things could have been better..but it was a beautiful ending to a BEAUTIFUL series.
 
It was a hell of an episode
it mixed all the seasons together brought most of the relationships back alive I loved it
Spike's sacrifice so perfect
 
The last episode I watched of the 7th season was "Chosen." It was so cool. It had great special effects and action. I just love the episode. Everytime I watch Buffy "Chosen" is going to be one of the episodes that I watch.

It is one of my favorite episodes!
 
Wow are you all serious? I had HIGH expectations for this

It's among my worst episodes ever

the only good portion of this episode was the goodbye scene, an appearence from angel but otherwise I want more of a finale

To me Gift was more of a fitting series finale

I wish they took the time to talk about everything in the series, their missed and cherished memories

I felt that it was rushed, and if it was any old episode I would've loved it, but it's the damn series finale, and it wasn't good IMO
 
How could anybody hate this episode. I thought it was a great finale. Except I kinda wished they hadn't killed off boty Spike AND Anya!!! 🙁
 
I loved this episode as well - but keeping with the Theme of the First being killed, i have a question. What about the Senior Partners?

Weren't they like a combo of the first? I mean Angel was taken for a trip to the Senior Partners and basically it was earth right - and if all the evil on earth is controlled by The First, then isn't there a little inconsistency here?
 
The First was not killed. It could never be killed...it's not corporeal or living. It's really more of a concept... you know, evil.

It was just scrunched... stopped for the time being.
 
I love ''Chosen''. There were so many moments that made my eyes watery, but in a good way, like when the original gang stands in the hallway and discuss what will they do tomorrow... :sigh: And Spuffy, always Spuffy.

Exactly. All Buffy did in Chosen was to prevent the First from taking on a corporeal form and enter our reality properly, forcing it to remain as it always had been. It can't be killed as long as evil exists in whatever form.
 
Maybe, but as I saw it, Buffy's battle was against the First and the forces of the First. Buffy led the battle against the forces of the First, and won. The thing is, what did the amulet actually do ?. Who was the original keeper of the amulet ?.
Has the evil gone and now there is 'really naughty thingies' ?. Does that mean there'd have to be another series where the main protagonist would be
'really naughty thingies' ?.
