Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S7/E22 Chosen

The final battle against the First.

"Caleb: Stupid girl. You'll never stop me. You don't have the— Scythe: *THWACK* Buffy: Who does nowadays?"
 * Anyone Can Die:
 * Book Ends: The conversation between Buffy, Xander, Giles and Willow before the final fight mirrors one in The Harvest.
 * The Chosen Many
 * Conservation of Ninjitsu: The Turok-Han fall victim to this. Even Dawn gets to kill one.
 * Gory Discretion Shot
 * Grand Finale
 * Groin Attack: To end all groin attacks: superpowered Slayer. Scythe. Slice in half from the groin up. If there was an image of it it'd be the trope image.

"Joss Whedon: (shooting script) She holds out her scythe to Faith. A moment, and Faith takes it. Stabs the guy behind her without looking at him. And then goes apeshit on the fuckers."
 * Hollywood Tactics
 * Instant Sedation
 * Intertwined Fingers
 * Let Them Die Happy: Subverted
 * Meaningful Echo
 * Not Staying for Breakfast: Wood is not surprised that Faith doesn't. He thinks it's because she's a Slayer, but when she explains her grim view of men ogling her he teases her that he's more attractive than she is, goading and intriguing her into first trying to do him on the spot, then continuing their relationship.
 * Offhand Backhand / Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Faith after taking over the scythe from Buffy.


 * Pair the Spares: Faith and Wood, continuing the tradition of Buffy losing people (Angel, the Potentials, Giles) to her.
 * This Is Something She's Got to Do Herself
 * Trash the Set: On a huge scale.
