Spoilery preview of S8 issue 4.

Dude! Amy *saved* Warren before Willow killed him? WTF? Apart from all the enormous issues it raises (what about The First? How did Willow not *notice* that she wasn't the one killing him (/making him disappear)? What about Willow's whole S7 arc? What does Amy see in a misogynist pig who kills girls for fun? Etc. etc.), then there is this (which has been bothering me since Amy was first revealed): How come they didn't get out of Sunnydale before the apocalypse? Even ordinary people could feel that something bad was coming and left town, so surely a smart girl like Amy would get the hell out before the whole place collapsed?

It doesn't make sense!!!! Did working on Wonder Woman break something vital in Joss' brain? I know he never cared all that much about 'how things worked', bending the rules so he could get to the emotional part, but this is... *throws hands up*

Thank the powers above that this never made it to the screen!

ITA that the fact that Warren didn't actually die doesn't absolve Willow. She had total intent to kill, and she did succeed in torturing him (the slo-mo bullet and a bit of flaying action).

But Willow is Dawn's best buddy? There were serious Dawn/Willow problems after the car wreck/broken arm thing. And Willow had some very nasty things to say to her when she went all veiny. I don't recall any reconciliation about any of this in S7, and according to the comic books, Willow has been out of touch. So their sudden closeness is really bizarre. Joss has some 'splaining to do on all of that if he's going to make this credible.
