Wow, you really had to vent your anger, didn't you? Not that I can blame you.

It certainly felt cathartic to write! :D

I can certainly believe that!

"Buffy accepts nothing. She does what Joss Whedon does - be self-depricating, say the words admitting guilt but with a snide, snarky sheen on top of everything so that they mean nothing."
---Well, you've certainly summed up my perception of Joss Whedon in one concise sentence.

"Joss-Whedon-Buffy" was never allowed to grow up. *sigh* It's no wonder I like fanfiction-Buffy a lot more.

Cordelia: People who think their problems are so huge craze me. Like this time I sort of ran over this girl on her bike. It was the most traumatizing event of *my* life, and she's trying to make it about *her* leg! Like *my* pain meant nothing.

Congratulations Joss - you've managed to turn Buffy into S1 Cordy!
---Oh, God, it burns. *hides* At least Cordelia grew past that... and then look at how Joss punished her for that growth. *sigh* Buffy's never going to win.

LOL Actually, season 8 reminded me a lot of the Jasmine arc. (Among other things.)

I'm just happy my brain doesn't have a blue screen of death, because it was continuously going: Does. Not. Compute.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
