Just in case there's someone who's not read it yet, make way to beer_good_foamy's LJ and read this excellent analysis of Buffy S7:

Meta: Buffy, the Vampire Slayer vs Buffy The Vampire Slayer

All about narrative and storytelling and all sorts of brilliant things. Money quote:

"Buffy The Vampire Slayer isn't just the title of a television show, it's the central conflict of it. The very thing that gives Buffy (and Buffy) strength is the same thing that traps her. The story itself is the biggest bad, and the central problem of season 7 is, how do you end the story without killing the story?"

When you have the time, read the whole thing. It's very, very good. (BGF is one of those rare things: A male in a female centric fandom, and awesome to booth.)
