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!

It is clumsy, but Joss lives to pull a retcon if he can get away with it. What I'm wondering is why he's doing it. Is it just because he thinks skinless Warren would be cool, which is a possibility, or is it an overall "we may be living in a bright new future but the past is still there waiting to get us" theme? Amy, Warren, Ethan, the U.S. military, Dawn's feelings about Buffy, even "true love's kiss" if it's Xander (hates the thought) are all things that the Scoobies thought were well behind them. I'm not leaping up and down with joy at all of this, but I still think it's too soon to judge a whole season on the basis of what is effectively only the first episode.

Lord I hope so! And I certainly don't want to judge the season on one episode, but currently I'm just waiting for this part to be over so we can get to Faith. I'm optimistic about Faith.
