I think the characters are literally going to go different ways.
That's my take, too.
And if that happens, I will have to ask why the hell they didn't just follow up from S5 of AtS. That's what's most annoying about all of it. None of this was needed. At all. No need to mock B/A (provided that's what they're doing), shit on B/S and destroy the characters. All of them had moved on in a mature and believable way. They could have Giles/Faith interaction, Spike could have his ship, Angel could still be a good character, Xander could become an inexplicable girl-magnet in Africa, Dawn could go to school and cheat on her BF, they could have Buffy and the Immortal go at it six ways to Sunday if it's so 'important to the story'. None of this was needed at all. It's not like it was a good story with a moral or anything. Most of it's pretty darned offensive and anti-BTVS.
