I was so happy with Xander's speech at the end of this week's ep. Finally the character's promise for the last 7 seasons is fulfilled. We watch him try and try to "progress" with the others but now realize he's grown up and accepted his place in a way that none of the other characters have. To me this was a huge pay off for his character. It sort of made me feel that if this is the last season, that the character of Xander Harris, after whatever apocalyptic thing happens at the series end, will be able to walk away from the fighting, realizing that there are people whose job it is to keep the world safe, that for a while he did his part, but now his path lies elsewhere, in becoming a productive member of the society that his friends protect. That's the feeling I've been getting from him for the last couple of seasons anyway. He has the job, has his own place, almost got married, did stereotypical things that people do when they're not a superhero. He's the everyman lense of the show, and once the show ends, the everyman needs to walka way and muse on what an interesting time it's all been.
I think about this far too much.
