'Out Of Gas'
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.
However, I can buy Buffy being so traumatised by having made that decision once that she'd never "kill" or kill another loved one to save the world, and would rather die than sacrifice any single other person.
This I think is very true, and true to the character. But I think the con argument - or at least the "cost" argument - really needed to be made to show the cost of that decision - and by someone other than the then-outsider Wes.

I think it was made, at times. I think the bounding condition was that she had to be pretty shiny, still. Angel was willing to go pretty dark, but even after Giles left, Buffy wasn't a Ben-killer.
If there was always a third option there's no dramatic tension. It's like calling it "Deus Ex Machina the Problem Slayer." So I am not convinced that that could be a persistent theme.
I'm listening to the OMWF soundtrack, specifically Walk Through the Fire, and I'm happily imagining ASH and JM in the recording studio together. Mmm.
MY BUFFY SEASON 1-7 DVD SET HAS SHIPPED!!! I am VERY excited.
Is the 1 - 7 set any different (except packaging) from the separate sets?
there's a bonus DVD and "booklet" apparently.
Vampires and human food. Food for humans, not food of humans -- outside of IWRY, what's in canon?
I seem to remember Spike being anomalous (and stating so), but can't think where, with his taste for beer and onion stuff.
I hate there always being an option. Sometimes, the sister needs to bite it.
Yeah, but then someone gets a nifty idea, and suddenly Jason Todd isn't as dead as he seemed.
Angel talked about eating to pass the time rather than for nourishment or taste back in the early seasons of Buffy.
