And yet...was that a sliver of light at the end? Whether that's hope or just a train (first heard that metaphor in Cracker's I Saw the Light), that was actually...a sliver of light.
Given all the hoopla and discussion about Joss's Dr. Horrible throughout the web, I'm pretty sure that, had Joss wrote this story, he would have gone for the completely tragic and unhappy ending and have Buffy give in to VampXander and VampFaith's attempts to either guilt her or make her mad enough to stake them...and then just go into yet another existentialist funk about the pointlessness of it all.
I like this ending. It's dark, it's twisted, it could even be described by some people as poetic justice...and yet there's room for the possibility of love and friendship still being a motivation, a real factor, into its resolution.
Or I could just be reading too much into it. Either way, this was good.
I feel like saying, "Author! Author!"...except I'd look sillier than I usually do.

That..was dark. Dark with a capital dark.
