sawyl | Waxing lachrymose on Buffy

Serendipitously, Saturday's Gruaniad featured a review of Anne Billson's Buffy book included the following quote detailing the author's response to end of season three:

I burst into tears, knowing this was as good as it could possibly get.

Well amen to that, sister. Having just finished watching season three, I've got to admit that I tend to get all teary watching the last couple of eps, especially the sweet little moments between the Mayor and Faith where it suddenly becomes clear that they really do have a father/daughter thing going and that for all his super villain faults, the Mayor does genuinely care about her. I totally suspect that Mayor Richard Wilkins III might be the best TV series bad guy of all time, ever.
