I won't argue the essential blindness of ME (or the wonderfulness of Methos. I adored Methos), but having been in a few fandoms where the ending didn't meet expectation, I've discovered that for myself the best way to come to terms with it is to own it. . . what I mean is make it work different for you, write a new end. If nothing else, it's cathartic. As Laurie on BAPS one said, now the show writers can stop mucking up our universe. It's ours. Spike is ours now, and we can do what we wish with him. . .and we loved him better than ME anyway.

Anyway, whenever a show royally screws up a character or story that's when I really do turn to fanfic where it can be fixed. (And I suppose that's why I floated the idea of doing a virtual AtS season 6 so that fans can find better resolution than we'd ever find with ME.
