För att fortsätta den galna Buffy-manian som denna blogg kommer att vara i under resten av påsklovet så vill jag dela med mig av några scener som jag hittade på youtube. Alla dessa scener kommer från sjunde säsongen av Buffy, så big big spoiler-varning!
Jag ger er: Buffys slayer-tal om sina planer att göra alla Potentials till riktiga Slayers innan slutstriden. Jag älskar den lilla flickans leende i slutet!
Jag ger er: Fightscenen från säsongsfinalen "Chosen". Eller, delen där Buffy blir allvarligt skadad och ligger svag nere på marken och ser på hur übervampsen dödar the Potentials (som nu är mer än bara Potentials) och hur The First hånar henne... och Buffy biter ihop, ställer sig upp och fortsätter übervampslakten. Och vi får inte glömma Faiths insats!
Jag gråter varje gång. Jag älskar storslagna scener.

Favoritcitat: Buffy S07E20 - S07E22
Spike: No?
Buffy: No.
Spike: You mean no as in "eventually"?
Buffy: You really have problems with that word, don't you?
Spike: It's bloody chaos over there without you!
Buffy: It is?
Spike: Yeah! Yeah. It's uh - there's junk. You know, food cartons. Sleeping bags not rolled up. Everyone's very scared and, uh, unkempt.
Buffy: Sounds dire.
Spike: I didn't see a lot. I came, hit Faith a bunch of times, and left.
Spike: You listen to me. I've been alive a bit longer than you. And dead a lot longer than that. I've seen things you couldn't imagine. And done things I prefer you didn't. Don't exactly have a reputation for being a thinker. I follow my blood, which doesn't exactly rush in the direction of my brain. So I make a lot of mistakes. A lot of wrong bloody calls. A hundred-plus years. And there's only one thing I've ever been sure of. You. Hey, look at me. I'm not asking you for anything. When I say I love you, it's not because I want you. Or because I can't have you. It has nothin' to do with me. I love what you are. What you do. How you try. I've seen your kindness, and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand, with perfect clarity, exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. You're the One, Buffy.
Buffy: I don't wanna be the One.
Spike: I don't wanna be this good-looking and athletic. We all have crosses to bear.
Anya: We're all on death's door repeatedly ringing the doorbell, like maniacal girl scouts trying to make quota.
(från “Touched”, S07E20)
Faith: I'm looking at you, everything you have, and, I don't know, jealous. Then there I am. Everybody's looking to me, trusting me to lead them, and I've never felt so alone in my entire life.
Buffy: Yeah.
Faith: And that's you every day, isn't it?
Buffy: I love my friends. I'm very grateful for them. But that's the price. Being a slayer.
Faith: There's only supposed to be one. Maybe that's why you and I can never get along. We're not supposed to exist together.
Buffy: Also, you went evil and were killing people.
Faith: Good point. Also a factor.
Buffy: But you're right. I mean, I... I guess everyone's alone. But being a slayer? There's a burden we can't share.
Faith: And no one else can feel it. Thank God we're hot chicks with superpowers.
Giles: [inspecting a scythe] In addition to being ancient, it's - well it's clearly mystical.
Buffy: Yeah, I figured that one out when I King Arthured it out of the stone.
Anya: Well, I guess I was kinda new to being around humans before. And now I've seen a lot more, gotten to know people, seen what they're capable of and I guess I just realize how amazingly... screwed up they all are. I mean, really, really screwed up in a monumental fashion.
Andrew: Oh.
Anya: And they have no purpose that unites them, so they just drift around, blundering through life until they die. Which they know is coming and yet every single one of them is surprised when it happens to them. They're incapable of thinking about what they want beyond the moment. They kill each other, which is clearly insane, and yet, here's the thing. When it's something that really matters, they fight. I mean, they're lame morons for fighting. But they do. They never... They never quit. And so I guess I will keep fighting, too.
Spike: Last night was... God, I'm such a jerk. I can't do this.
Buffy: Spike?
Spike: It was the best night of my life. If you poke fun at me, you bloody well better use that 'cause I couldn't bear it. It may not mean that much to you, but...
Buffy: I just told you it did.
Spike: Yeah, I hear you say it, but... I've lived for sodding ever, Buffy. I've done everything. I've done things with you I can't spell, but I've never been close to anyone, least of all you, until last night. All I did was hold you, watch you sleep, and it was the best night of my life. So, yeah, I'm terrified.
(från “End of Days”, S07E21)
Buffy: [about Spike] It's different. He's different. He has a soul now... What?
Angel: That's great! Everyone's got a soul now.
Buffy: He'll make a difference.
Angel: You know, I started it. The whole having-a-soul. Before it was... all the cool new thing.
Buffy: Oh my god, are you twelve?
Angel: I'm gettin' the brush off for Captain Peroxide. It doesn't necessarily bring out the champion in me.
Buffy: You're not getting the brush off. A-Are you just going to come here and go all Dawson on me every time I have a boyfriend?
Angel: Aha! Boyfriend.
Buffy: He's not. But he is in my heart.
Angel: That'll end well.
Buffy: What was the highlight of our relationship? When you broke up with me or when I killed you?
Buffy: I'm cookie dough. I'm not done baking. I'm not finished becoming who ever the hell it is I'm gonna turn out to be. I make it through this, and the next thing, and the next thing, and maybe one day, I turn around and realize I'm ready. I'm cookies. And then, you know, if I want someone to eat m- or enjoy warm, delicious, cookie me, then that's fine. That'll be then. When I'm done.
Angel: Any thoughts on who might enjoy - Do I have to go with the cookie analogy?
Buffy: I'm not really thinking that far ahead. That's kind of the point.
Angel: I'll go start working on the second front. Make sure I don't have to use it.
[starts to leave]
Buffy: Angel. I do. Sometimes, think that far ahead.
Angel: Sometimes is something.
Buffy: Be a long time coming. Years, if ever.
Angel: I ain't gettin' any older.
[about Buffy and Angel's kiss]
Spike: Most people don't use their tongues to say hello. Or I guess they do, but...
Willow: Did you find out anything about the scythe?
Buffy: It slices, dices, and makes julienne preacher.
Giles: Caleb?
Buffy: I cut him in half.
Willow: All right!
Anya: He had that coming.
Xander: Hey, party in my eye socket, and everyone's invited.
Buffy: I just realized something, something that really never occurred to me before. We're gonna win.
Buffy: I hate this. I hate being here. I hate that you have to be here. I hate that there's evil and that I was chosen to fight it. I wish a whole lot of the time that I hadn't been. I know a lot of you wish I hadn't been, either. This isn't about wishes. This is about choices. I believe we can beat this evil. Not when it comes. Not when its army is ready. Now. Tomorrow morning, I'm opening the seal. I'm going down into the Hellmouth and I am finishing this once and for all. Right now, you're asking yourself what makes this different. What makes us anything more than a bunch of girls being picked off one by one? It's true. None of you have the power that Faith and I do. So here's the part where you make a choice.
Buffy: So here's the part where you make a choice. What if you could have that power, now? In every generation, one Slayer is born, because a bunch of men who died thousands of years ago made up that rule. They were powerful men. This woman is more powerful than all of them combined. So I say we change the rule. I say my power, should be *our* power. Tomorrow, Willow will use the essence of this scythe to change our destiny. From now on, every girl in the world who might be a Slayer, will be a Slayer. Every girl who could have the power, will have the power. Can stand up, will stand up. Slayers, every one of us. Make your choice. Are you ready to be strong?
The First: [as Buffy] Oh no... Ow! Mommy, this mortal wound is all... itchy. You pulled a nice trick. You came pretty close to smacking me down. What more do you want?
Buffy: [through gritted teeth] I want you
[sits up]
Buffy: to get out of my face.
[stands]
[preparing to face the onslaught of übervamps]
Anya: Oh, God. I'm terrified. I-I didn't think - I mean, I - I just figured you'd be terrified, and I would be sarcastic about it.
Andrew: Picture happy things. A lake, candycanes, bunnies...
Anya: [enraged] Bunnies! Floppy, hoppy, bunnies!
[As Spike is dying to save the world]
Buffy: I love you.
Spike: No, you don't. But thanks for sayin' it.
[Spike's final lines]
Spike: Now, go!
[Buffy runs]
Spike: I wanna see how it ends
[About Sunnydale's destruction and the end of the Hellmouth]
Giles: I don't understand. What did this?
Buffy: Spike.
[About Anya's death]
Xander: So, did you see?
Andrew: I-I was scared. I'm sorry.
Xander: Did you see what happened? I mean, was she...
Andrew: She was incredible. She died saving my life.
Xander: That's my girl. Always doin' the stupid thing.
(från "Chosen", S07E22)
Buffy: No.
Spike: You mean no as in "eventually"?
Buffy: You really have problems with that word, don't you?
Spike: It's bloody chaos over there without you!
Buffy: It is?
Spike: Yeah! Yeah. It's uh - there's junk. You know, food cartons. Sleeping bags not rolled up. Everyone's very scared and, uh, unkempt.
Buffy: Sounds dire.
Spike: I didn't see a lot. I came, hit Faith a bunch of times, and left.
Spike: You listen to me. I've been alive a bit longer than you. And dead a lot longer than that. I've seen things you couldn't imagine. And done things I prefer you didn't. Don't exactly have a reputation for being a thinker. I follow my blood, which doesn't exactly rush in the direction of my brain. So I make a lot of mistakes. A lot of wrong bloody calls.

Favoritcitat: Buffy S07E16 - S07E19
Andrew: [Filming the room where Willow and Kennedy are passionately kissing on the sofa] Hey, here's something I think you're going to be interested in, gentle viewers.
Andrew: [Zooms in on the window behind the sofa] Look at the fine work Xander did on replacing that window sash. You can't even tell it's new, it blends in so well. He's extraordinary.
Andrew: This whole thing - whole thing - is being orchestrated by something called "The First." It's made up of all the evil in the whole world. Oh, there's also, uh, these guys. Uh, they-they-they work for The First. We don't know much about them except for they're very ugly and they're very mobile for blind people.
Andrew: Buffy and Spike have some kind of history: you can feel the heat between them. Although, technically, as a vampire, he's room temperature.
(från “Storyteller”, S07E16)
[in 1977, to Nikki Wood]
Spike: By the way, love the coat.
Spike: Oh, bollocks. All the rubbish people keep sticking in my head, it's a wonder there's any room for my brain.
Giles: I don't think it takes up that much space, do you?
Buffy: So, did you bring back any Potentials?
Giles: Um, rea— no. Actually, m-my, uh, my trip is about something else. It's–it's, um, regarding Spike.
Buffy: Spike. What about him?
Giles: I told you my concerns when you recklessly chose to remove the chip from his head.
Robin: Wait, sorry — chip?
Giles: Well, uh, it's a... long story.
Buffy: The military put a chip in Spike's head so he couldn't hurt anyone.
Giles: And that would be the abridged version.
Buffy: But he wouldn't hurt anyone anymore because he has a soul now.
Giles: Unless the First triggers him again.
Robin: Triggers the chip?
Buffy: No, the trigger's a post-hypnotic thing. The First put it in his head. It was... made him… He was killing again.
Robin: So, he has a trigger, a soul, and a chip?
Giles: Not anymore!
Buffy: It was killing him, Giles!
Robin: The trigger?
Buffy: No, the chip. The trigger's not active anymore.
Robin: Because the military gave him a soul?
(från “Lies My Parents Told Me”, S07E17)
Buffy: Looks like an old vineyard.
Kennedy: An evil vineyard, huh.
Spike: Like Falcon Crest.
Faith: You're protecting vampires? Are you the bad slayer now? Am I the good slayer now?
Faith: He's like Angel?
Spike: No.
Buffy: Sort of.
Spike: I'm nothing like Angel
Buffy: He fights on my side. Which is more than I can say for some of us.
Spike: Angel's dull as a table lamp! And we have very different coloring.
Faith: I've met you before, you know.
Spike: Yeah, you made a great impression on my chin.
Xander: I've been through more battles with Buffy than you all can ever imagine. She stopped everything that's ever come up against her. She's laid down her life - literally - to protect the people around her. This girl has died two times, and she's still standing. You're scared, that's smart. You got questions, you should. But you doubt her motives, you think Buffy's all about the kill, then you take the little bus to battle. I've seen her heart - and this time not literally - and I'm telling you right now she cares more about your lives than you will ever know. You gotta trust her. She's earned it.
[after Xander's speech about Buffy]
Faith: Damn. I never knew you were that cool.
Buffy: Well, you always were a little slow.
Faith: Whatcha wanna do to her, vamp?
[circles Spike]
Faith: Huh? Somthin' like this?
[punches Spike]
Spike: [stands] Nice punch you got there. Lemme guess. Leather pants, nice right cross, doe eyes, holier-than-thou glower... you must be Faith.
Faith: [shrugs and grins] Oh, goodie. I'm famous.
Spike: Told you were coming. Bit of a misunderstanding here. I'm...
Faith: Spike. Yeah. We've met before.
Spike: We have? I don't think we-
[Faith kicks Spike in the torso]
Spike: Bloody hell! What're you doing? I'm on your side.
Faith: Yeah? Maybe you haven't heard. I've reformed.
[punches Spike]
Spike: So have I.
[punches Faith]
Spike: I reformed way before you did.
[Faith punches Spike]
Spike: Stop...
[punches Faith]
Spike: hitting...
[punches Faith again]
Spike: me! We're on the same side.
Faith: Please. You think I'm stupid?
Spike: Well, yeah.
Faith: You were attacking that girl.
[Someone knocks Faith to the ground]
Buffy: [innocently] Sorry, Faith. I didn't realize that was you.
(från “Dirty Girls”, S07E18)
Giles: Spike, I have a mission for you.
Spike: Oh, really? 'Cause, you know, sometimes our missions end up with you tryin' to kill me. I'm not fond of those.
Faith: This town, walking anywhere after dark is like an extreme sport.
(från “Empty Places”, S07E19)

Favoritcitat: Buffy S07E11-S07E15
Buffy: [to Turok-Han (a.k.a übervamp)] Looks good, doesn't it? They're trapped in here. Terrified. Meat for the beast. And there's nothin' they can do but wait. That's all they've been doing for days, waiting to be picked off, having nightmares about monsters that can't be killed. But I don't believe in that. I always find a way. I am the thing that monsters have nightmares about. And right now you and me are gonna show 'em why. It's time. Welcome to Thunderdome.
Andrew: Two men enter. One man leaves.
[About Andrew]
Rona: Um, why is that guy tied to a chair?
Xander: The question you'll soon be asking is, "Why isn't he gagged?"
(från “Showtime”, S07E11)
Xander: They'll never know how tough it is, Dawnie, to be the one who isn't chosen. To live so near to the spotlight and never step in it. But I know. I see more than anybody realizes because nobody's watching me. I saw you last night. I see you working here today. You're not special. You're extraordinary.
Dawn: Maybe that's your power.
Xander: What?
Dawn: Seeing, knowing.
Xander: Maybe it is... Maybe I should get a cape.
Andrew: What's going on?
Anya: Dawn's gonna be a Slayer.
Andrew: Holy crap! Excuse me. Plucked from an ordinary life, handed a destiny.
Xander: Say "Skywalker" and I smack ya.
(från “Potential”, S07E12)
Buffy: It's a phone thing.
Spike: Who ya gonna call?
[awkard look from Buffy]
Spike: God, that phrase is never gonna be usable again, is it?
Buffy: There's gotta be a reason why the chip is going all wonky. Maybe it's related to the trigger. Or maybe it has something to do with the new soul.
Spike: Or maybe I wasn't meant to last this long.
[pause]
Spike: One more thing you and I have in common, eh, pet?
Buffy: I know. But you should go. This trip is important for the girls, to understand the source of their power, and know how to use it right.
Giles: I don't think they appreciate the gravity of what we're undertaking. It's frightening and it's difficult. Then, apparently someone told them that the vision quest consists of me driving them to the desert, doing the hokey pokey.. until a spooky rasta mama slayer arrives and speaks to them in riddles.
Giles: Gah!
Xander: Touch him! Touch him!
Dawn: Oh, I feel him! I feel him!
Xander: Me too.
Andrew: Me too.
Giles: Good. We all feel each other. Including some of us who don't know each other well enough to take such liberties, thank you. Um, I assume there is a perfectly reasonable and not at all insane explanation, yes?
Anya: We thought you might be non-corporeal evil.
Dawn: We got a call. We couldn't remember you touching anything.
Xander: We had to make sure you were okay. We were worried.
Giles: Oh. Ah. Yes, well, that's very sweet. Now, wait a minute, you thought - you think I'm evil if I bring a group of girls on a camping trip and don't touch them?
Buffy: Remember when things used to be nice and boring?
Willow: No.
(från “The Killer in Me”, S07E13)
Willow: It's a text message. Oh, it's from Xander. It's one of our signals.
Amanda: Signals?
Willow: Yeah, the system we set up a while back. Like codes. Uh, this one's either "I just got lucky, don't call me for a while" or "my date's a demon who's trying to kill me."
Kennedy: You don't remember which?
Willow: It was a long time ago.
Dawn: Well, if we play the percentages...
Giles: Something's eating Xander's head.
[Spike tackles Giles]
Spike: Hey, you're not the first!
Giles: Hey, you're not in pain!
Xander: Guys, guess what happened.
Willow: Buffy got a date!
Xander: No, I did!
[looks at Buffy]
Xander: Fine, way to steal my thunder.
Buffy: Sorry. If it makes you feel better, it's Principal Wood, and I think he's aligned with the First.
Xander: Also like ten years older than you, right?
Willow: Which is like 100 years younger than your type!
Buffy: Yay. Someone who doesn't remember the industrial revolution.
Buffy: On the Hellmouth. All day, every day. That's gotta be like being showered with evil. Only from underneath.
Willow: Not really a shower.
Buffy: A bidet. Like a bidet of evil.
Spike: Never much cared for picket fences, anyway. Bloody dangerous.
The First: [as Jonathan] Did you find the gun?
Andrew: Yes, it was in Buffy's underwear drawer. She has nice things.
The First: [as Jonathan] Show me.
Andrew: Well, I didn't take 'em, but there were thongs and regular underpants.
The First: [as Jonathan] Show me the gun.
[Buffy, Spike and Xander enter the house to find the Scoobies waiting up for them. Xander's shirt is wrapped around his waist as a surrogate bandage]
Willow: What happened?
Xander: What do you think happened? Another demon woman was attracted to me. I'm going gay. I've decided I'm turning gay. Willow, gay me up. Come on, let's gay.
Willow: What?
Xander: You heard me. Just tell me what to do. I'm mentally undressing Scott Bakula right now. That's a start, isn't it?
Andrew: [wistfully] Captain Archer...
Xander: Come on, let's get this gay show on the gay road. Help me out here.
Buffy: What if you just start attracting male demons?
Dawn: Clem always liked you.
The First: [as Jonathan] Andrew, I want you to think. Willow brought something to this house. Something good. Something you can use.
Andrew: The new microwave?
(från “First Date”, S07E14)
Willow: Via, concursus, tempus, spatium, audi me ut imperio. Screw it! Mighty forces, I suck at Latin, OK? But that's not the issue. I'm the one in charge, and I'm telling you open a portal, now!
Spike: I've changed.
Robin: Oh, now that you have a soul.
Spike: Yeah. That was a big deal. Very... private.
[in hurt tones, to Buffy]
Spike: What, are you just telling everyone now?
Spike: Get out of here, all of you. Unless you want to end up all dead and useless.
Kennedy: What are you gonna do?
Spike: What I do best.

(Hjälp: En quarterback i skollaget har en magisk jacka som gör att alla kvinnor blir förälskade i honom, däribland Dawn. När Buffy försöker utreda vad det är som är skumt med Dawns nya kärleksobjekt så drabbas även hon, Anya och Willow av jackans magi.)
Buffy: Willow, you're a gay woman, and he isn't.
Willow: This isn't about his physical presence, it's about his heart.
Anya: His physical presence has a penis.
Willow: I can work around it.
Willow: Well, I have skills. I can prove my love with magic.
Anya: Yeah, right. What are you gonna do? Use magic to make him into a girl?
[Willow's face lights up]
Anya: Damn...
[About Spike]
Xander: Once you get back the soul, doesn't that mean you start, like, picking up your own wet towels off the floor?
Willow: No, but maybe you start to feel really bad about leaving them there.
Buffy: Xander, be honest. You didn't, you know, think about slippin' that jacket on just a little bit.
Xander: I refuse to answer that on the grounds that it didn't fit.
(från “Him”, S07E06)
Webs: I heard a lot of rumors about you back then. You were all mysterious.
Buffy: I was?
Webs: Well, you were never around. A lot of kids thought you were dating some really old guy, or that you were just heavy religious. Scott Hope said you were gay.
Andrew: Besides, I can't keep having those nightmares.
Jonathan: Me neither. Desde abajo te devora.
Andrew: "It eats you, starting with your bottom."
(från “Conversations with Dead People” S07E07)
[Buffy approaches a bouncer outside a nightclub looking for Spike]
Buffy: I'm looking for this guy. Bleach-blond hair, leather jacket, British accent, kind of sallow, but in a hot way?
Bouncer: Yeah, yeah, I know the guy. Billy Idol wannabe?
Aimee Mann: Man, I hate playing vampire towns.
Xander: Why would a vampire lie about who sired him? What's that, some kind of status symbol for the undead? My sire can beat up your sire?
(från ”Sleeper” S07E08)
Buffy: How can you say that?
Spike: Apparently, I just slaughtered half of Sunnydale, pet. I'm not really worried about being polite any more.
Andrew: Babe II: Pig in the City was really underrated.
The First [as Warren]: Don't think about Babe.
Andrew: Right.
The First:[as Warren] You're Conan. You're The Destroyer. It's you against nature. You're the hunter, you're primal. You love off the land. You're Andrew. Everyone knows you. You play by your own rules. It's kill or be killed.
Andrew: [like a battle cry] That'll do pig!
The First: [as Warren] That's the worst attempt at pig slaughtering I've ever seen!
Andrew: Don't kill me!
Willow: I'm not gonna kill you!
Andrew: Don't torture me and send me to an eternal pain dimension!
Willow: I'm not gonna!
Andrew: Warren killed Tara. I didn't do it, and he was aiming for Buffy anyway.
Willow: Not making it better.
Andrew: And you got your revenge. You killed my best friend. We're even.
Willow: Even? You think I get satisfaction from what I did?
Andrew: Maybe not, but let me keep my skin, okay? I'm not bad, I'm not bad anymore. I'm good, I do good things now.
Willow: Then, why do you need lots and lots of blood?
Andrew: I am bad. I'm bad. I'm evil. But I'm protected by powerful forces. Forces you can't even begin to imagine, little girl. If you harm me you shall know the wrath of he that is darkness and terror. Your blood will boil and you will know true suffering. Stand down, she-witch, your defeat is at hand...
Willow: Shut your mouth! I AM a she-witch. A very powerful she-witch. Or "witch" as is more accurate. I am not to be trifled with...
Andrew: But I...
Willow: I'm talking, don't interrupt me, insignificant man! I am Willow, I am Death. If you dare defy me, I will call down my fury, exact fresh vengeance, and make your worst fears come true! Okay?
(från “Never Leave Me”, S07E09)
Xander: [repairing the house after a demon invasion] It's a loop... like the Mummy Hand! I'm doomed to replace these windows for all eternity.
Andrew: I'm, I was about to be dead. You saved me.
Buffy: For the time being. But if you don't tell us what we need to know, then I'm gonna offer you to The First on a platter and let him chop you into tiny pieces.
Andrew: The first what?
Anya: The name of the evil thing that pretended to be Warren to get you to kill Jonathan.
Andrew: Oh. Not very ominous-sounding.
Dawn: No, it is if you understand the context.
Andrew: No, an evil name should be like Lex or Voldemort or...
Buffy: Hey! I was intimidating here.
[investigating the wheel on which Spike was bound]
Dawn: There's blood on this. Lots. Looks like The First made another sacrifice. Or a music video.
Giles: Sorry to barge in. I'm afraid we have a slight apocalypse.
Spike: [scoffs] Give it up. Whatever you are, whatever you get away with, I'm out. You can't pull this puppet's strings any more.
The First: [as Drusilla] And what makes you think you have a choice? What makes you think you will ever be any good at all in this world?
Spike: She [Buffy] does. Because she believes in me.
Buffy: You're right. We don't know how to fight it. We don't know when it'll come. Can't run, can't hide. Can't pretend it's not the end, 'cause it is. Something's always been there to try and destroy the world. We've beaten them back. But, we're not dealing with them anymore. We're dealing with the reason they exist. Evil. The strongest. The First.
Giles: Buffy, um, I-I know you're-you're tired...
Buffy: I'm beyond tired. I'm beyond scared. I'm standing on the mouth of hell and it is gonna swallow me whole. And it'll choke on me. We're not ready? They're not ready. They think we're gonna wait for the end to come, like we always do. I'm done waiting. They want an apocalypse? Well, we'll give 'em one. Anyone else who wants to run, do it now, 'cause we just became an army. We just declared war. From now on we won't just face our worst fears, we will seek them out. We will find them and cut out their hearts one by one until the First shows itself for what it really is. And I'll kill it myself. There is only one thing on earth more powerful than evil, and that's us. Any questions?

Buffy: Doesn't matter how well prepped you are or how well armed you are. You're a little girl.
Dawn: Woman.
Buffy: Little woman.
Dawn: I'm taller than you.
[To Giles]
Willow: When you brought me here, I thought it was to kill me or to lock me in some mystical dungeon for all eternity or... with the torture. Instead, you go all Dumbledore on me.
(från "Lessons", S07E01)
Anya: Hands off the merchandise, Spike. You don't get to go there again.
Spike: Please, I've already forgotten about our little time together.
Nancy: I thought you were Xander's ex-girlfriend.
Anya: I am.
Nancy: But you and Spike...
Anya: Had a thing.
Spike: Didn't last.
Nancy: But weren't you Buffy’s...
Spike: Briefly.
Buffy: Never serious.
Nancy: Is there anyone here that hasn't slept together
Spike: I tried to find it of course.
Buffy: Find what?
Spike: The spark. The missing - the piece, that fit. That made me fit because you didn't want- I can't. Not with you looking. [goes away] I dreamed of killing you. I think they were dreams. So weak. Did you make me weak? Thinking of you? Hauling myself, and spilling useless buckets of salt over your- ending. Angel, he should've warned me. Makes a good show of forgetting, but, it's here. In me. All the time. The spark. I wanted to give you what you deserve. And I got it. They put the spark in me and now all it does is burn.
Buffy: Your soul.
Spike: Bit worse for lack of use.
Dawn: You guys really need to ease up with the whole dating demons thing.
Buffy: Uh, hello. I'm sorry, wasn't that you having the smooch-a-thon with teen vampire last Halloween?
Buffy: Spike, have you completely lost your mind?
Spike: Well, yes. Where have you been all night?

[Willow summons a demon]
D'Hoffryn: Behold D'Hoffryn, Lord of Arashmaha, he that turns the air to blood and reigns te- Miss Rosenberg. How lovely to see you again. Have you done something with your hair?
[Anya, before she became a demon and lived among the Vikings]
Anya: I don't talk to people much. I mean, I talk to them, but they don't talk to me, except to say that, "your questions are irksome," and, "perhaps you should take your furs and your literal interpretations to the other side of the river."
[To Willow]
D'Hoffryn: The flaying of Warren Meers - oh, truly inspired. That was "water cooler" vengeance. Yes. Lloyd has a sketch of it on his wall.

All the time. The spark. I wanted to give you what you deserve. And I got it. They put the spark in me and now all it does is burn.
Buffy: Your soul.
Spike: Bit worse for lack of use.
Dawn: You guys really need to ease up with the whole dating demons thing.
Buffy: Uh, hello. I'm sorry, wasn't that you having the smooch-a-thon with teen vampire last Halloween?
Buffy: Spike, have you completely lost your mind?
Spike: Well, yes. Where have you been all night?
(från “Beneath You” S07E02)
[following Spike who's tracking blood]
Xander: We should've put a leash on him.
Buffy: Yes, let's tie ourselves to the crazy vampire.
[about Xander]
Spike: I'm insane. What's his excuse?
(från “Same Time, Same Place” S07E03)
Xander: "From beneath you, it devours." It's not the friendliest jingle, is it?
Buffy: Buffy the Vampire Slayer would break down this door.
Xander: And Buffy the Counselor?
Buffy: Waits.
(från “Help”, S07E04)
[Willow summons a demon]
D'Hoffryn: Behold D'Hoffryn, Lord of Arashmaha, he that turns the air to blood and reigns te- Miss Rosenberg. How lovely to see you again. Have you done something with your hair?
[Anya, before she became a demon and lived among the Vikings]
Anya: I don't talk to people much. I mean, I talk to them, but they don't talk to me, except to say that, "your questions are irksome," and, "perhaps you should take your furs and your literal interpretations to the other side of the river."
[To Willow]
D'Hoffryn: The flaying of Warren Meers - oh, truly inspired. That was "water cooler" vengeance. Yes. Lloyd has a sketch of it on his wall.

Buffy säsong 7 - there will be spoilers
Det här inlägget kommer att börjas med ett stort snyftande. Det är slut! Det finns inga flera Buffy-avsnitt! Scooby-gänget kommer aldrig mer samlas för att luska fram information om någon mystisk varelse. Buffy kommer aldrig mer förvåna "skurkarna" genom att inte vara en hjälplös liten flicka utan en riktig kampsportskämpe som drämmer in dem i väggar, soptunnor, gravstenar eller näraliggande stillastående objekt innan hon gör slut på dem.
Spike kommer aldrig mer att gå så där coolt som bara han kan i sin skinnrock igenom Sunnydale. Ingen kommer att gå igenom Sunnydale, eftersom Sunnydale inte existerar längre. Neither does Spike. (Eller, jag råkar veta att han återkommer i femte säsongen av "Angel" och tur var väl det. Annars hade jag seriöst dött då han dog).
Jag saknar Buffy.
Jag brukar alltid prata om vinjetten, fast den här gången så ska jag ta det ännu längre. Till musiken som spelas på tillvalsmenyn. Gud, vilken musik! Oftast så är det något lite halvläskigt, men den här gången så är det... episkt. Redan där förstår man att den här säsongens slutstrid inte kommer att vara Buffy versus en mäktig varelse för att stoppa undergång, utan någonting större - och det blev det.
Det första avsnittet, "Lessons", kändes jättekonstigt. Willow är i Storbritannien på "magi-rehab", Xander och Anya verkar inte vilja bli tillsammans igen fastän man kan se att de älskar varandra. De har återuppbyggt Sunnydale High - fast i en helt ny skepnad - och Spike är galen i källaren. Ja, ni hörde rätt. Tänk er vilken chock Buffy måste ha fått när hon går ner i källaren för att rädda Dawn och helt plötsligt går in i en yrande Spike. Särskilt med tanke på att han lämnade stan utan att berätta det för någon i slutet av förra säsongen.
I den här säsongen så dyker the Potentials upp. De är dråparaspiranter, sådana som möjligtvis kan bli the Slayer om Faith dör (om Buffy dör så kommer det ingen ny, Faith är ju egentligen hennes efterträdare). Världen över så arbetar en organisation (ledda av säsongens Big Bad) för att utrota drparsläktet. De dödar aspiranterna och deras blivande väktare, stjäl deras böcker och spränger till och med the Councils högkvarter - med hela rådet inuti.
Giles åker runt i världen och letar upp the Potentials och tar dem till Buffy där de försöker träna upp dem så att de är redo när slutstriden kommer.
Jag kan säga så här: Jag hatar the Potentials. Jag vet inte vem av dem som är värst. De gnäller på allt och säger att Buffy inte kan skydda dem. Hallå? Buffy gör allt hon kan för att skydda dem, sina vänner och hela Sunnydale. Kan någon visa henne lite respekt kanske?
Värst är ändå Kennedy, hon som har störst roll av alla. Förutom att vara bossig och tro att hon är chef så blir hon även Willows flickvän och det gillar inte jag. Det har inte ens gått en säsong sedan Tara dog, och hon var Willows värld. Så nu blir hon tillsammans med en bortskämd brat?
Det här är även säsongen då Faith återvänder och konstigt nog så välkomnar jag henne med öppna armar. Helt plötsligt så älskar jag Faith och hennes stil. Jag blev helt chockad. Wow. Nu måste jag ta och se om tredje säsongen och se om jag stör mig lika mycket på Faith som jag brukar.
Det kommer även in en annan person i Scooby-gängets utkant. Andrew, från trion i förra säsongen, och han blev en favorit direkt. Han är så söt och nördig att jag bara kan skratta åt honom. En av de bästa scenerna i hela säsongen är när the First kommer (i form av Jonathan) för att övertala honom att skjuta the Potentials och Andrew säger "Back off, Jonathan slash the First".
På tal om det, säsongens Big Bad lyckades göra mig väldigt väldigt irriterad varenda gång den visade sig. Jag har ett stooort problem med the First (Evil), inte bara för att den försökte få Angel att ta självmord i tredje säsongen, utan för att den inte har någon kropp. The First är bara ett stort, ont, hjärnmanipulerande medvetande som finns överallt - och det stör mig! Jag hatar att man aldrig vet om en karaktär pratar med en annan karaktär, eller om det bara är The First som är där och roar sig. Sedan så avskyr jag den ännu mer för att den spelar en massa spratt med Spikes förnuft och typ driver honom till vansinne. Rör inte Spikes huvud! Han är nog med problem nu. Han har en själ.
Enda fördelen med den första: Jag älskar när den första tar Buffy eller Spikes skepnad. Buffys för att det är intressant att se henne med det där onda leendet och Spikes för att den påminner mig om tidigare säsongers Spike, när han var the Big Bad.
Jag hatar motståndare som Buffy inte kan klå. Förutom the First, som det är omöjligt att knocka då Buffys hand bara skulle gå igenom den om hon försökte, så finns det även en massa superstarka hantlagare. Som übervampsen som man måste ha superstyrka (mer än Buffy) för att kunna döda. Eller Caleb, the Firsts högra hand, som är som Glory.
Jag började faktiskt fundera under säsongen om det inte hade varit bäst för Buffy att ha kvar Glory, försökt övertala henne till att bli god och sedan låtit henne spöa Caleb.
En person jag verkligen blev besviken på under den här säsongen var Giles. Jag har alltid älskat Giles, men nu så är han bara...dum. Han litar inte på Buffy, säger att hon gör fel och skäller på henne - och sedan försöker han döda Spike bakom hennes rygg! Hallå? Det var helt rätt av Buffy att frysa ut Giles efter det. Om hon inte skulle ha gjort det så skulle jag blivit riktigt sur.
Den här säsongen är även de storslagna, riktigt fantastiska, monologernas säsong. Från Buffys tal om att de inte ska sitta och vänta på ondskan att döda dem, att de just har förklarat krig mot de enda som är starkare än all världens ondska. Speciellt: "I'm standing on the mouth of hell and it is gonna swallow me whole. And it'll choke on me" eller "They want an apocalypse? Well, we'll give 'em one".
Sedan så ger Xander en eller två fantastiska tal om hur Buffy alltid ställer upp och om hur svårt det är att bara vara en vanlig människa när alla ens vänner har superkrafter. De får alltid mig att gråta. Fast den bästa monologen av dem alla. Spikes. OH. MY. GOD. Om jag inte hade varit kär i honom före det så skulle jag blivit det, med råge, efter hans förklaring till Buffy varför han älskar henne och att vet att hon kommer att slå the First. Snyft.
"When I say I love you, it's not because I want you. Or because I can't have you. It has nothin' to do with me. I love what you *are*. What you do. How you try. I've seen your kindness, and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand, with perfect clarity, exactly what you are. You're a *hell* of a woman. You're the One, Buffy. "
Den här säsongen så ser man mer än någonsin hur nära Spike och Buffy har kommit varandra. Spike älskar Buffy och Buffy har faktiskt börjat älska Spike. De har inget intimt förhållande, eller jo. Det är inte fysiskt intimt, utan psykiskt intimt. När de andra klagar på Buffy så är Spike den första att försvara henne. Spikes dödscen. Alltså. Det är så otroligt rätt att det var Spike som räddade Sunnydale och världen. Han förtjänar det, men han förtjänade inte att dö. Det är så otroligt sött när Buffy fattar hans hand och det slår upp eldsflammor (på grund av den magiska amuletten han har som förstör honom, men samtidigt stänger the Hellmouth för alltid) och hon säger att hon älskar honom, för första gången.
En annan person som dör i seriefinalen är Anya och det är också det otroligt sorgligt! När Xander letar efter henne medan skolan håller på att rasa samman och han inte hittar henne, trots att hon ligger död bara några meter ifrån honom, det får mig att lipa ännu mer, om det är möjligt.

Höjdpunkter i sjunde säsongen:
- I fjärde avsnittet, "Selfless", där man får se Anya som kaninälskande människa, hustru till en viking - fast med samma personlighet som dagens Anya. Det bästa är scenerna då de pratar otroligt dålig svenska!
- I "Him", avsnittet där en kärleksförtrollning likt den Xander kastade i "Bewitched, Betrothed & Bewildered" i andra säsongen, gör att Willow, Anya, Dawn och Buffy alla blir förälskade i skollagets Quarterback. De bråkar om vem som är mest värd honom och det slutar med att alla går ut för att bevisa att deras kärlek är starkast. Willow ska förvandla honom till en tjej, Anya tänker råna en bank, Dawn tänker offra sig för kärleken och Buffy... tänker skjuta rektor Wood med ett raketgevär. Det finns en scen där man genom rektor Woods kontorsfönster ser Buffy ställa sig och sikta med geväret, bara för att bli påhoppad och nedslagen av Spike, som sedan springer iväg med raketgeväret. Det är en av säsongens höjdpunkter!
- Scenen mellan Buffy och Spike i Buffys källare är också jättebra! Det är i "Never Leave Me", tror jag, men det är i alla fall så otroligt bra när Buffy säger att hon tror på Spike. Att hon vet att han har blivit en bättre man.
- I "Showtime" då Buffy lurar ut übervampen till Xanders byggnadsplats, instängd i en grop och hon tar sig an den, medan alla Potentials ser på, och börjar striden med att säga "Welcome to Thunderdome".
- En av scenerna som jag alltid skrattar till är den i "First Date", då Giles upptäcker att Buffy har sett till att Spikes chip har blivit borttaget och Spike och Buffy försöker komma på en bortförklaring och bara babblar på om en massa strunt.
- En av säsongs absoluta höjdpunkter är när Spike bestämmer sig för att bli Bad Ass-Spike igen, går till skolan, letar upp sin skinnrock, slänger på sig den och återupptar sin otroligt coola Spike-walk. Om man hade stänkt vatten på honom då så hade det nog sagt "pssst".
- Andrews dokumentär "Buffy, the slayer of Vampyres" i avsnittet "Storyteller".
- I "Lies My Parents Told Me", som är ett slags "Fool for Love" II, där man än en gång får träffar William, Spikes mänskliga jag, en riktig mammas pojke.
- Scenen i "Empty Places" då Willow sitter vid Xanders sjukhussäng, håller hans hand och de försöker skämta bort hans skada, men inte kan det, är så otroligt sorlig och visar hur mycket de älskar varandra.
- En av de mest frustrerande scenerna i hela säsongen är den i slutet av avsnittet ovanför, då the Potentials och Scooby-gänget gaddar ihop sig mot Buffy och säger att hon är överlägsen och inte bryr sig om någon av dem dör - och till slut stänger ute henne från sin egen kamp. Där så blev jag så otroligt arg och hotade faktiskt tv:n med ett "Vänta bara tills Spike får höra om det här!". (En rolig detalj: Efteråt när jag läste recensionerna av avsnitten på IMDb så upptäckte jag att min favoritrecensionist hade gjort exakt samma sak!)
- Vilket för oss till nästa avsnitt, "Touched", när Spike kommer tillbaka till huset och upptäcker att de har slängt ut Buffy och utan att tveka skäller ut alla, nitar Faith som han tror är skyldig till det och sveper ut ur huset så där som bara Spike kan.
- Seriens absoluta höjdpunkt: Det tio sekunder långa klippet där Buffy sover (påklädd) i Spikes armar och han stryker henne över håret och pussar hennes panna. Det får mitt hjärta att brista.
- Jag älskar och hatar Angels återkomst i de första 10 minuterna av "End of Days". Det är så bra när Caleb försöker döda Buffy, bara för att bli nitad av Angel. Där älskade jag honom, men inte sedan. Det känns så fel att han kommer tillbaka just som Spike och Buffy har fått det så bra och kommit nära varandra. Plus att han pratar som Angelus.
- Min absoluta favoritscen i "Chosen", seriefinalen, efter Spikes dödscen, är när Buffy har fått ett "dödligt" sår och tror att hon ska dö. Hon ger yxan till Faith och ber henne att kämpa och ligger sedan där i svår smärta. Det är då the First dyker upp, i form av Buffy själv, och hånar henne, vilket får Buffy att samla sina krafter, bita ihop, ställa sig upp och fortsätta dräpa übervamps som om ingenting hade hänt.
The First: [as Buffy] Oh no... Ow! Mommy, this mortal wound is all... itchy. You pulled a nice trick. You came pretty close to smacking me down. What more do you want?
Buffy: [through gritted teeth] I want you [stands] to get out of my face.
Rest in peace, Spike. Till sista säsongen av "Angel" i alla fall.
