  1. You know, Xander does deserve getting the crap beaten out of him. I've recently have gone back to see Buffy again. And I can't stand Xander. Let's be honest, if any regular guy said or did the crap he did irl, he'd be labeled crazy stalker guy. He did what he did because he was jealous of the fact that Angel got the one thing he never was able to do with Buffy. He wanted Angel dead, plain and simple. And as for Buffy not being able to do her job?!!?I'll admit, I find it rather patronizing to hear that Buffy wouldn't be capable of fighting as well while knowing that Willow was doing the curse. What's the basis for this? Is it cause Buffy's a girl, and girls naturally can't handle stuff like that? Is it because Buffy angsts sometimes? Has Buffy failed to avert an apocalypse at any point because of her pesky emotional attachments? As it plays out, look at the lapse between Angel getting his soul back during the fight and Buffy actually killing him. It literally throws her. She hesitates. She takes a damn long time to actually kill him. And that's dangerous. It takes that long because she wasn't prepared. She didn't know that getting her Angel back was a possibility in that fight. And, fortunately, Buffy gets her head together to kill him when needed (Huh? What? Buffy gets her head together? Ridiculous!). But, tactically, it would have been better if she had known that that eventuality might have happened. Because preparation = less time to get her head together = quicker killing = possible difference between End of the World and Yay! World! No, Xander wasn't making a tactical decision. He wasn't even making a tactically sound decision. He was making an emotionally-based decision because he thought Angel should be killed. And that emotion overruled his common sense in giving Buffy some essential knowledge for the fight.
