Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Chosen Review

 


TV fans it's ever so rare that a great TV series has a great ending since they more often then not fail to stick the landing. However there was one show that had a fantastic run and stuck the landing and that's the very episode that i'm going to talk about today simply because it is such a good final ever episode and so then join me as I review that is the final time that we've seen Buffy on our TV screens with the episode being called simply just "Chosen" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Buffy and all her alley's gather for one last fight one which will determine the fate of the whole entire world as we know it. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes plot doing a very good job of making the threat of the episode seem very menacing and really very epic in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy Summers , Nicholas Brendon as Xander and Emma Caulfield as Anya. Also starring in this episode is Michelle Trachtenberg as Dawn Summers , James Marsters as Spike , Alyson Hannigan as Willow , Anthony Stewart Head as Giles , Eliza Dushku as Faith , Nathan Fillion as Caleb , David Boreanaz as Angel , Tom Lenk  as Andrew , Iyari Limon as Kennedy , Sarah Hagan as Amanda , Indigo as Rona , D. B. Woodside as Principal Wood and Felicia Day as Vi.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty very good. With all of this episodes cast turning in some really good performances all of which work really well for the story that this episode is trying to tell in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the CGI for this episode is the legends and the freaking greats that are currently over at Zoic Studios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty pretty bad which was to be expected since this episode was released in 2003 and so then of course the CGI isn't going to be that good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


While this episode might have been the last time that we saw the Buffy characters appear on our TV screens the show did infact continue onwards in comic book form. With new "seasons" being presented in various comic book series which I have to admit was a great way to continue the series just because you could do alot more outlandish things in comic books that you just couldn't do in the realm of live action media in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

I have to admit that I really didn't care for any of the romance stuff that this episode included simply because of the fact that it had very little to no impact on the plot of this episode. Which makes you wonder why this episodes writer and director and this shows creator and producer Joss Wheadon chose to include it since they very easily could have had be resolved on the Buffy spin off show Angel since it would have made alot more sense to have be resolved on that show then it does in this episode since the main focus of this episode should be on this big epic final fight in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


I have to admit that I really did like Buffy's speech about giving every single who could have the power to defeat evil that power. Since it's a sign of just how far this character has come since the Buffy that we got in the show's early years just wouldn't do that and yet here because of the fact that she's matured so much over the course of the show she does it and that is the sign of a well written and in this case strong female character and yes I do think that Buffy is a strong female character because even in this episode we see her struggle to reach her goal and what it costs her when she does reach that goal in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then while I cannot remember whatever this episodes exact grand total running time even was I do know that for a fact that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly forty one minuets. Which for an episode that's as epic as this one really isn't that long at all since in order to do this episode just this episodes running time would have had to have been at the very least one hour and thirty minuets long in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With the of course the stand out action set piece being the truly epic final battle where we get to see pretty all of Buffy's alleys fighting and it's just such a cool action sequence in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this episode is a truly fantastic episode to end this truly iconic and this truly fantastic series on since it does something that very few TV show finales do and that's give us a truly satisfying ending in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Buffy The Vampire The Slayer fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.
