Season seven deals with the Potential Slayers, normal girls around the world who are candidates to succeed the Slayer upon her death. The season opens with Buffy discovering evil spirits lurking in the basement at Sunnydale High.
By the time of its seventh and final season, there was a feeling that many of the cast just wanted it all to be over - something unfortunately reflected in the performances.
You can violate the laws of the universe you created, using a raft of new characters in whom we have no investment, or you can drag nine episodes' worth of doing so over 22 hours of TV. Not both.
I liked season seven by and large, [but] I feel like the having it follow the usual Buffy arc was a mistake, given that the ultimate aim of this season seemed to be to show how Buffy is a Chosen among Chosen, destined to change the rules of the game.
However, season seven took this farther than it had to, losing the series' signature comedy and making it feel more like a chore to watch week to week than anything else.
The reunion is no accident, but it is very satisfying, in a full-circle, complete-the-story sort of way. So is this last hour itself, one of the most satisfying series finales in years.
