Re: comics: there's a graveside mourning moment at the end of the "Wolves at the Gate" arc, but I can't remember if that compilation is one of the ones Patty is borrowing from me. (However, if you need it, I have the CBR files.) Also, significant but not major character death. Fair warning: the comics are BATSHIT.
All of my problems with feminism and the finale have to do with the issue of consent. As the comics make clear, the girls in the house are not all of the Slayers in the world. They make a choice for people who are not all there. We also don't ever actually see them make that choice; the camera cuts away at that point. It's really uncomfortable when you consider what we found out just a few episodes ago, that the First Slayer was made by men who placed a demon inside her.
Spike saving the day is fine by me. He was all pretty and glowy. :)
ETA: Oh yeah, issue #5 - "The Chain" - is all about death and mourning. You absolutely need to read that. Patty has it.
