I'll just quote Buffy here and say, what the hell?!

**snicker** Amy being all "you are no the First" to Warren.  Twilight wants to watch, because: "Those monsters won't stop until all of our men are dead" "You think that'll stop them?". Yeah, I'm a bit worried about that too. Wrathful Goddesses? Not so easily controllable.  "They shouldn't have come. We gave them everything." "They're not on our side." Oh, but Riley was on their side! Spying for Buffy! Yay! (Yeah, he did seem to be trying to put them off the trail of Buffy and company with his "the readings are all confused by the mountains, we don't know where she is" stuff, didn't he?) Buffy's getting better with the speeches. I mean, they're not exactly cheery, but they're the right thing to say. "We don't have a choice . . . We're not going to win, but we have too many of our injured here to run away . . Collect their injured too. Protect everything that bleeds, okay?" And then the soldiers take them prisoner.  And then Buffy . . . flies away?! Best funny lines: "Remember, it's hard for giants to know where they're stepping!" "You're the least supportive girlfriend ever!" "I'm your skin!" "Oh, you always have to go there!" |

Appropos of nothing much, if this all plays out as I suspect it might, all I can say is [glow=red,2,300]"Duh!"[/glow]
As for Buffy boffing Angel/Twilight: Gross.

And, maybe I'm a prude but I really didn't need all of the explicit visuals. Besides, what happened to the curse? And, wasn't Twilight behind the big war they just fought where soldiers and slayers died by the hundreds? And Buffy would be okay with that? I guess I should reread them all at once because this makes no sense to me. |

I guess I should reread them all at once because this makes no sense to me. Exactly. Twilight is at least indirectly responsible for the deaths of these other slayers. How can they claim Buffy's some kind of great natural leader when she's f*cking him? Furthermore, how can they maintain how smart she is when she's back w/the guy who's hurt her so much? As for the curse, I think that was mostly a situational thing (innocent young girl, first love, etc). Angel had sex w/Darla and Nina and kept his soul. But Spike has yet to come back in the picture. What I'm thinking (hoping) is that once he does, he'll be saving Buffy from herself, grounding her, reminding her who she is, blah, blah. He'll be the one, in the end, and she'll be embracing her slayerness along with him. Of course, that was the idea behind Chosen, so in that case, Joss isn't really saying anything new, and has in fact gone the long way around to tell us something we've known since 4ever. I'm sure he thinks it all very clever and subversive, as it isn't Spike himself who matters, but the aspect of Buffy he represents, but in the end it seems to come down to a woman needing a man to be a complete person either way.  So much for feminism. |

Well, it can't be going the way it looks like it's going because the current implication (if I recall correctly which is not always the case) is that Buffy (and Angel?) are Adam and Eveish to a new -- better -- type of human/demon hybrid being and the humans will be toast. |

I don't know. I do know that this one not only had major quease factor but was painfully short on logic. I don't remember signing up for comic porn. |

Well, I could be wrong. This is pure speculation on my part. The thing is, Spike was part of Buffy's Family, and he was "the man in Buffy's life." Plus, it's hard to say what Spike will be when he finally makes his appearance. Maybe he's going/gone thru the same changes? We'll see. With Joss, it's always something of a crapshoot. Dear Diane, comic book porn doesn't do much for me, either. |

Well Diane (and Diane),
Spike did show up and Buffy did come to her senses -- just not in that order.
I still do not respect her, though, for having all that sex with a guy who tries to get her to dessert her friends and family and doesn't understand at all that that is not who she is. Why would she want to be with him?
Apparently there are 5 more issues left.
This was one "Twilight, part 4" = issues 35. I'm fine continuing to comment on them all here. Sort of sorry we made all these individual threads when just one for the entire season eight Comic Book Apocrypha would have done.

Okay so Spike's FINALLY arrived in some kind of TARDIS-y, round, ball-shaped steam-punk contraption and...
now what?

And then Buffy . . . flies away?!
So much for feminism.
