y'all ever think how the thesis of buffy at the end was that the only ethical choice when a person holds an extreme amount of power (even if that person has been shown to be selfless and smart and strong) is not to keep it, but to share it

#there are many reasons i want to fist fight all the idiots who say the show should've ended after s5 #and this is a big one #also while i do think the fallout from empty places was rushed and sloppy #the season straight up /needs/ that episode #we need to see the breakdown of buffy as ultimate leader #because yes she's good at it (generally) and she deserves trust #(especially from the scoobies cause come tf on)#she is doing her best and her best is better than so many other people's would be #but it's still wrong #more important than leading people is empowering them #she needs to go on the journey she does to learn that the best thing she can do for the potentials #is not to train them #not to protect them #but to share her power with them #god it's so fucking good #truly the show of all time
