*hugs* ITA on AR and I don't want to delve into it and preach to the choir.
As to season 8... The problem is that the ending in Chosen had been conceived and executed as a big fat ending of Buffy franchise. And I think that when Joss decided to start season 8 he realised that he wrote himself into a corner. The world has changed - the premise has changed. A reboot? I'd rather say, a new show with vaguely familiar characters. In season 8 Buffy, Willow, Xander are heroes of a Jerry Bruckheimer summer blockbuster - and we watch next 10 minutes of this blockbuster every month.

Or maybe I just can't adjust to a new medium.
