I don't understand.

So, I read the Riley one-shot.

Overall I liked it, esp liked the interactions between Riley and Sam - that all worked very well. As did the parts with Angel and Whistler except...

He has to choose between Buffy and the world. There's lots of panels devoted to Angel not wanting to turn Buffy into a helpless pawn, and that's all very good. BUT. I thought the whole point of this Twilight thing was the fact that the world was destroyed as they created a new reality? So... how does this work? If he 'chooses the world' and pushes Buffy towards becoming Miss Glowy Twilight and so forth, he creates the circumstances in which the world is ultimately destroyed, yes? And they get their happily ever after, ergo - choosing the world ultimately means *not* choosing the world + getting the girl...

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!!

I mean, what's the alternative? He says in issue Twilight #whatever that he did his best to 'minimise' deaths etc, but what could be worse than destroying the whole world and letting the demons back in? I don't get it. Whistler says that if he tells her what's going on they'll 'lose the war side by side, very romantic' and the world will still be destroyed, but by what? If *they* are the catalyst... *throws hands up*

Just a tiny bit? I mean, I can stretch myself quite easily in the logic department, dear old Rusty has proved that. I don't mind 'these things happen when you're on a Hellmouth'. I do mind things that make NO sense at all...
