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!

Shiny! I hadn't thought that through about what Amy knew but exactly. It was left completely vague in the show and I remember a lot of people complaining that her motivation didn't add up. Now they seem annoyed that it does.

It's all clever plot mechanics at one level but it gives us Amy/Warren as the latest in the series of villanous dysfunctional twosomes that began with Spike'n'Dru and ended with First!Buffy/Caleb. There should be fluffy (for certain values of fluffy) "how they met fic" and really disturbing porn. The possibilities are endless.
