Wow six degrees of separation!!!! Yup she had the big brown eyes too... I'm a sucka for them. Always have been.

Luckily now though, my girlfriend has 'KIND' big brown eyes! Very important that KINDness part.

I know, I iz lucky!



Incidentally why did the First take so long to confront the Bufster...

It was busy setting up events for the Iraq war, I believe.

The First is a busy entity Chrisisall

C'mon, guys! It's Joss! Have a little faith!

Yes, it was a huge, HUGE season 7 plot point that Warren was dead and therefore The First could take his form. Also, at the time Warren was killed by Willow, Amy was in the grip of a powerful, overdone metaphore. She wasn't nearly so powerful as she is now, and wasn't a patch on Willow. Heck, she was breaking into Willow's bedroom to steal sage. She was pathetic.

Which means the story Warren told Willow wasn't true. It just doesn't add up.

Is it writer error? Maybe. But personally I don't think so. In fact, I have a *very* difficult time believing Warren was alive in any shape during season 7. I'm certain Any raised him after the whole 'Chosen' bust up.

Why am I so sure? It's about power. Amy never had much, and if Rack is anything to go by she's used to borrowing too much for her to handle. The closing of the Hellmouth would have unleashed massive amounts of mystical energy. I'm guessing Amy was able to use it to keep herself alive, and it juiced her magic up a notch. If the power itself didn't shred her sanity, spending months trapped under the ruins of her home town would finish the job.

I'm guessing either Amy decided to resurrect someone else who had been victimised by Willow the same way she felt she had (it's very likely she felt that Willow had cast a huge spell just before the town was destroyed) or her increased power and her intense jealousy of Willow made it happen naturally. Now either Amy has chosen to make Warren believe that she saved him from Willow (making him indebted to her and therefore making herself out to be cleverer and more powerful than Willow) or they ~both~ believe that's what's really happened. In which case Amy has completely lost her grip on reality or something is playing her, and playing Warren too.

That was my immediate conclusion anyway, but then I think about Buffy far too much :) Anyway, I say give Joss a chance to explain this stuff before we all start yelling 'FAIL!' Heck, haven't we learned anything from the whole "OMG!!! Why does Buffy have a sister???" thing?

We all just have to have a little faith (God, will that word ever be usable again? )

Think of things this way. Not a lot of people liked season four, but by the end of things, we'd had "Hush" and "Restless", two of the best episodes in the entire series. It way seem that come of the storyline is falling flat right now, but Joss will come through. He always does.

Yeah, even though it's not my favorite season, I don't down it like some other folks do. Any season that has "Pangs", "Beer Bad", and "Something Blue" in them can't be all that bad, IMO.
