Oh, I agree that that's what S7 was trying to do (I think their execution fell short in some respects, but that's another thing.) Pity they totally went back on it in S8. :P
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.
