Re: A Question.. (possible unintended spoilers for EMPTY PLACES)

James,

You make a very good point - one that could be made for another character on the show as well: Willow.

When Willow first started using magick, she floated a pencil to dust a vampire, she did spells to get the box of gavrok away from the mayor, she did aclouding spell in "The Zeppo", she used magick against Glory... there are other examples... whenever Willow's spell was needed or whenever Willow's spells went right, she was a good little witch... but if her spells went wrong (i.e., Something Blue), they were all right there to jump her ass and tell her she was wrong and blah blah blah. And Buffy was right in the middleof this.

I think this is one of the things about the show that has always struck me as realistic: these people are all human. They make human mistakes in the way they treat each other. ANd I bet if X/B/W/G had a view of their lives the way *we* see them, they'd cry and hug each other and apologize over andover again.

Don't you wish you could see your life from the outside that way? I do... I wouldn't screw up nearly as much.

Willow: Sitting right here!
Xander: I'm sorry. But it's true.

Hey All.

In recent discussions about EMPTY PLACES. Some have basically statated Indefence of the Lynch Mob Er I mean Scoobies. That they have saved Buffy asoften as she's pulled they're asses out of the fire. Now I'm not hiding myprefrence for Buffy. She has Always been my favorite charactor on the show. But I am really curios how people can say the scales are even between Slayer and Scoob?
Now I can only come up with two Incidents Of A scoobie Xander BOTH times.Saving Buffy. Prophecy Girl. Cleary. And Killed By Death Can anyone come up with others I'm missing?.
