Well I think Joss would have killed Xander anyway if he had felt that it was a vital point to be made in the final season (just as he felt that killing Wash was important to the impact of the movie 'Serenity' while admitting that Wash would still be alive if the TV show hadn't been cancelled). I'm just saying that Joss isn't likely to give way if he has something he is trying to achieve.... But he had a lot of different plot points going on with Buffy's Season 7 and I don't think that Xander needed to die to fulfill any of them.
Who knows where he is going w/Season 8?! I don't expect Xander & Dawn to get married... frankly I'm half expecting confusion and conflict with over-lapping romantic triangles.
4. Apparently Georges Jeanty is better at drawing Joss Whedon than Sarah Michelle Gellar, who knew? (Brad Metzler's blog has a picture of Whedon and Buffy together drawn by Jeanty.) wait...what? Do you have a link? I so want to see that!
Like you I feel that the artwork has been weaker than usual lately... it does make the story harder to follow when you are guessing at who is who.
