So I had an hour at work today that was actually FREE and not just me not doing work when I was supposed to be doing work.
To fill it, I made a list of everybody's last lines from
Chosen.
No, I don't know why I chose to do this, but here you go:
Amanda: Buffy?
Andrew: She was incredible. She died saving my life.
Angel: I ain't getting any older.
Anya: Bunnies. Floppy, hoppy, bunnies.
Buffy: The Smile/"Spike."
Caleb: Stupid girl. You'll never stop me. You don't have the ba-
Dawn: Yeah Buffy, what are we going to do now?
Faith: Yeah, you're not the one and only Chosen anymore. Just gotta live like a person. How's that feel?
The First: You pulled a nice trick. You came pretty close to smacking me down. What more do you want?
Giles: We have a lot of work ahead of us.
Kennedy: I could get used to this!
Principal Wood: Surprise...
Rona: Really? 'Cause I'm flashing back to Xander's whole bathroom speech.
Spike: I want to see how it ends.
Vi: Look at me! This is nothing! Stay awake! This is nothing!
Willow: Yeah, The First is scrunched so what do you think we
should do, Buffy?
Xander: All those shops, gone. The Gap, Starbucks, Toy R Us? who will remember all those landmarks unless we tell the world of them.
OK somebody post something brilliant about the deeper meaning in Rona's last line. Go!

It's telegraphing Xander's secret cocaine addiction, which nobody would ever discuss.

Which was foreshadowed by the bathroom scene from Xander's dream in Restless.
Cocaine. It's always fun until someone loses an eye.
Bad Girls just eneded on FX, Consequences is on.
"Who wants a root beer?" - Mayor
My understanding is that someone (Fox?) told ME to cut costs - so no more Darla.
Julie Benz cost more than moving the entire production to an outdoor location for three episodes, plus all new sets for just that story arc and dozens of extras in prosthetic makeup? Wowza.
Pylea felt so off the wall when it was developing. But then again, it was nice to see one of these dimensions.
Dead ought to count for something narratively.
But she didn't kill him, so dead doesn't matter.
I think it's at least as canon that Buffy killed Angel at the end of season 2 as it is that Buffy died at the end of season 1, even though they both came back. Killing Angel is what "Becoming" told us she was going to do (Spike: "You let me and Dru skip town, I help you kill Angel." Whistler: "...the faster you kill Angel, the easier it's gonna be on you."), that's what Buffy told us she did, ("Giles, look, I've got makeup tests to pass... Next time I kill Angel, I'll video it"), and five seasons later, that's still the way she describes it: I killed Angel.
And I don't agree with Hec. Narratively, Buffy's first death had less impact on its finale and next season than Angel's did, and that was okay.
Edit: punctuating around parentheses is hard. Also,

Season 7 stopped working for you right away, huh Rayne?

Okay, but when did he die? When she stabbed him? No. When he fell into hell? No.
So I'm missing the dead bit.
Darla -- dead vamp. Buffy, dead twice. Angel? No deader than he's ever been.
