Well, of course, I'm firmly on the "you made the magic no fun for us, so
just drop it, already" side of things, but they're determined to make
Willow AllAboutTheMagic. At least we got to see her in action, rather
than the constant whining about "what if I..?" Maybe the story will
turn out okay. (Maybe pigs will fly <g>).

>I don't buy that...Anya is one of Buffy's best friends

Heck, **I** don't buy that Xander loves her, which makes the story
difficult to buy into. Still, I guess she's jousting for the #4 spot
with Cordelia, after Willow, Xander and Giles.

>Granted [Buffy's declaration that she would never love anyone like she
did Angel] sucks for us, too.

Well, I think she might be wrong. Maybe she can love someone who's very
different than Angel, like by being human, and making Buffy happy, and
being Jewish, and a girl...

But I'd have to say that line looks bad for Vampire #2. Of course, I've
been saying all along that B/A makes B/S nonsensical, and ME never
listens to me, so...

>[Buffy and Willow] actually talked? Too bad we didn't see it...

<G> Have to agree there

Paraphrasing:

>What does it say about the rest of the staff that it took a new writer
to bring up Xander's Lie?

Hmm, probably that the others are so locked into their little soap opera
that they can't see the importance of character continuity and exploring
implications. And that if you actually sit down and watch the old
episodes (as Goddard did), you might actually understand the show. Can
we schedule Joss for a session?

Thanks,
