Yes and everything to all of that. (I read #40 and the way it reverses Chosen made me wish for a mind-wipe spell, or at least scrub my eyeballs out.)

I love the final scene in the Gift - love the whole episode on an emotional level, cry buckets and buckets - but if I start to think about it, then I hit that entire "female hero who sacrifices herself for the sake of family". Which isn't just a cliche - it's practically an expectation, or has been historically, for women. So I DON'T want it to end there.
