I can appreciate that, even though it left me with actually more of a sense of hope than the end of season two. I guess the idea of the broken remnants of the team still soldiering on was more depressing to me than having them all go off and build new lives for themselves elsewhere. But I might be singing a different tune if I'd been actively fannish about the show. I'm the girl who swore off Joss Whedon for good after the one-two punch of the Buffy finale and the Serenity movie, after all. :D
