I think she's being sarcastic, the film and novel came out long before And Justice For All

The episode plays out as her 'normal' life in the hospital is contrasted with her 'fantasy' life in Sunnydale. Personally, I think this episode should have been the very last one of the entire series, raising the question 'was it all real, or was it a fantasy?', but I suppose some people would have cried foul at this concept, and been angry that they had 'wasted the last 7 years of their lives'!

There have probably been other TV shows which have tackled this subject but I feel that this episode of Buffy is bloody fantastic, I love that the ending lets you come to your own conclusion about whether it was real or fantasy too. Great choice!

My guess was sarcasm, but the lack of an emoticon and the difficulty of judging tone in the written word did leave me wondering. Also, there may be people lurking and reading this who may think she was serious and consider it to be their fact for the day!
