Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
 
Here's mine.
 
The Willow-Xander confrontation on Kingman's Bluff is probably the best Scooby moment in the entire show and was pretty much the only thing I really liked in season 6.
 
As much as some people (especially the frigging writers like Marti Noxon) try to ignore or minimise it, you CAN'T ignore the depth of feelings the core Scoobies have for each other.
 
ESPECIALLY Willow and Xander. Nearly twenty years of friendship and shared experiences doesn't just go away.
 
That scene should have marked the start of all the Scoobies reconnecting to each other. The Buffy-Xander-Dawn thing they had going at the start of season 7 was great, having Buffy and Willow sitting on the bed together as Buffy gave Willow the strength to heal herself was brilliant. We needed Giles to come back and take his place in the Scooby Gang again.
 
We needed the Scooby Gang to turn their focus inward and fix all the problems and faults that had developed in their friendship over the years.
 
Instead we got the huge pile of shit that was season 7.
 
Kingman's Bluff should have set up an outstanding season in which to end the show. The Scoobies united, saving the world and each other.
 
But it didn't. Joss screwed up.
 
The "Yellow Crayon speech" showed us what the show once was all about, the kinda show we originally fell in love with.
