I agree with everything you have said Dan. I'm getting so sick of this 
Buffy loves her potential rapist crap...And I don't even think the writers 
remember what they wrote last season because Buffy never loved Spike, or so 
she said. This show is becoming a bunch of bullshit...I mean, last week 
when I saw Episode 13...I really liked it. I thought it was pretty decent, 
other than the fact that Riley gave Buffy a choice in removing Spike's chip. 
But this episode just made me want to throw up. And can I ask, why the 
FUCK the Scoobs kept the gun? What the hell would they need it for? I mean 
it's not exactly useful against incorporeal evil or vampires...so then why 
the HELL?

I did laugh at the Xander gay jokes just cause I thought they were really 
funny...And I admit that I did laugh at the subtitled exchanges between Chao 
Ahn and Giles. I couldn't help it...they were funny, especially when Giles 
used his psychopathic drawings...What the HELL was he thinking? I mean, I 
thought he was supposed to be remotely intelligent...so then, why did the 
writers make him seem like such a fool? If it had of been the correct 
Giles, he would have found a better way of communicating.

This season just has so many inconsistancies, like how Potentials just keep 
disappearing and reappearing through the episodes and how Spike somehow 
finds out about the suspicions of Giles being the First even though he 
didn't get back until after the ordeal...And the thing that pisses me off 
the most, how this episode just started off without even a glance at what 
happened with Spike's chip. I guess it was just so fucking obvious that 
Buffy didn't even need to think twice about her decision on his chip that 
they decided to screw letting us actually hear her make the decision and 
just start a whole new episode.

I like SMG as Buffy and I don't think it is her fault at all that her 
character has become such a whorish, uncaring, selfish bitch. Maybe this is 
why she wants to leave as well and, if so, bravo for her...However, I just 
can't get over the fact that Buffy wouldn't think twice about taking out a 
chip from a potential rapist/murderer who killed for over a hundred or more 
years and threatened/tried to kill her AND her friends dozens of times...Who 
gives a rats ass that he has a soul? Warren was human and had a soul and 
that didn't stop him from firing his pistol...And then the First TELLS them 
that it is going to use Spike against them again and instead of the writers 
giving Buffy her common sense back again...she turns into a quivering baby 
at the thought of wittle Spikey Wikey leaving her. Boo frickin Hoo!

The reason she has no common sense? Because a lot of the major fanbase of 
Buffy love Spike and also love Spuffy so gotta make those fans 
happy...However, I distinctly remember last year when the fanbase loved 
Willow/Tara (Even though I like B/W, realistically I think Tara was a great 
lover for Willow and I liked her character a lot. I just couldn't not like 
her) Joss and the writers still decided to kill her off...so why not bleach 
head?

I'm glad that this might be the last season because I feel that the writers 
have just killed the characters and their personalities...Buffy of old would 
never in a million years even touch Spike (except in a violent "I wanna kill 
you" way) and after she jumped off the tower in "The Gift", I think they 
just destroyed everything they worked to build up. That was my favourite 
season finale and I actually wouldn't have minded it ending there if I could 
take back what the writers have done to the show since then...('cept for the 
musical, which I loved)

All I can hope for is that in the finale 8 episodes, Joss Whedon actually 
keeps his word and goes back to the beginning (which I haven't seen any of) 
and the characters become more realistic like they were back in the day...If 
they don't, I think I might cry...Hehehe

And that's my rant for the day,

Sere
