Re: FF: Two Steps Back (1/1)

Ah, Zephyr, this was good stuff.

Nice to see that Willow did the right thing and dusted Spike, even if
the Wish undoes all of that and renders it moot. Some things you've
just got to do.

Even better to see that she took back Nikki's coat. He doesn't deserve
to turn to dust with it. I don't know how Buffy can even look at him,
knowing that he's going around wearing something he took from another
Slayer's corpse as a trophy, much less? For true justice to be
served, Spike dusts, but the coat stays.

Nice to see someone else who's pissed off about that craptacular present
Greenberg had Willow give Buffy.

Not to mention that Willow does the Wish demon bit properly, having
Buffy wear the pendant and granting the Wish instantly.

Of course, I have to wonder about the time paradox--Buffy's non-return
will keep Willow from chanting up D'Hoffryn and she won't have the
impetus to use the power that created the reality to begin with--but
that's standard scifi stuff.

And a beautiful echo of "Becoming, Part 2" and Buffy taking two steps
back as she sends Angel to hell, with Willow doing the same to send
Buffy to heaven. Just wonderful stuff.

Delighted,

Dan
