So frustrating that Buffy didn't just end after season 5. That would have been the most badass series finale ever. Season 6 and 7 were so anti-climactic. It was depressing how bad the writing got, partly Marti Noxon's fault because Whedon made her the executive producer for those last two seasons. such a shame that Whedon didn't let Buffy and the show die with dignity.
