A thread on green_maia 's journal inspired me to post my first-ever poll. Maia's question was whether BtVS would have been a better show if it ended with S5 -- and naturally, that segued into commentary on the final ending of the show in S7. Now I'm curious. And rather than threadjacking over there, I thought I'd start my own poll. Two questions, pretty straightforward. For question 2, check as many answers as you want. For both questions, there's an "other" option in case you don't agree with any of the answers. And please feel free to comment! Also, since my F-list is tiny, I'd love it if anyone wants to link this. I want to know what people think.

I don't think Buffy was thinking about the potentials GIles missed at all, nor do I think she had any real idea how many there were.

I like the concept of Buffy sharing her power, and the idea that sharing a responsibility/burden makes it lighter. In theory, I think that activating the potentials was great. in practice, I think it had a lot of very dubious subtext attached.

That dissonance between theory and practice comes up a lot in the Buffy-verse. Casualty of a fantasy show, I guess.

Agreed.
