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!

You know, if this had been revealed in S7, I would probably be able to accept it. But at this point, it's a five year old retcon. It's inconsistent with what we've previously known to be true, and on top of that, it's just lame.
And holy crap, I'm sick of the Dawn/Buffy estrangement plot. I don't even care if it makes sense (it doesn't after S7, but whatever); I'm just tired of it.
bending the rules so he could get to the emotional part, but this is..
I'm absolutely willing to handwave over any number of plot holes if the characterization and emotions are handled in a powerful way, but, what's frustrating about this is that it's emotional stuff we've already dealt with. Willow/Warren was resolved in "The Killer in Me", Buffy/Dawn was handled throughout S7. Why are we backtracking? Can't the characters experience anything new?

That pretty much sums it up. I have nothing to add to your comment - I'm quite simply nodding along.
Oh one thing - so far there's not been a single vampire. Isn't Buffy suppossed to *slay* those? Or did I miss something somewhere?
