We all know that humans aren’t perfect. But there have been a lot of accusations against Joss, specifically, which... yeah, ‘not being perfect’ isn’t an excuse at all.

Here’s a video:

And there are more on YouTube, if you’re interested.

I don’t really want to find out more about it, because it’s pretty bad, but I don’t want to ignore it, either, so this is just a post talking about it and my reactions.

I’m personally still watching Buffy and Angel (S7 and S3, respectively— though I’ve basically assimilated the wiki so I know what happens in the future and stuff), with my mum and my sister, and the last two Angel series still need to be bought, which I’m not sure how to feel about. But lots of people have said that TV shows are collaborative efforts, though, and I agree — so we’re probably still going to watch and buy them, for their involvement.

I’m probably not going to ask for any Buffy merchandise and stuff, though, because it’s a pretty uncomfortable topic, which I don’t support at all, and for me, buying lots of merchandise to do with his work like nothing happened doesn’t feel right,

How other people react is all subjective, though, and there’s no right way to react (like the video said). So how do you guys feel about this, and how will it affect their perception and interaction with the show(s)?

(If you want to say, obviously)

We all know the moment. Powerful, emotional, an amazing end to an amazing season.

But one thing that doesn’t make sense to me when I think about it is why Buffy’s blood actually closed the portal.

Dawn was made from Buffy, their blood is the same, it worked the same way — I get that. But the specific requirements for closing the portal was that the Key’s blood had to stop flowing (or circulating, probably), not for all of it to fall into the portal.

And Dawn was still bleeding (and alive). If they’d have actually killed Dawn but without dumping her in the portal, would that work to close it, or would the world be in hell until they realised what they had to do?

The requirements were really unclear... though I guess that means there are lots of things to speculate about, too.

Was there a certain volume of blood needed? A certain percentage of the Key’s essence, which Buffy managed to trick?

...Thinking about that, that actually makes sense — but does anybody have any other theories? Or is there something I’m missing out?
