I'd say even more was not so much the summoning but the not copping to it when people started immolating.
The only way I've been able to deal with this is by saying that it's a musical so the plot doesn't have to make sense.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

But that was one of the shining achievements of OMWF, IME. That all the singing did relate to and move forward the plot, none of it was a one-off.

but why wouldn't Xander have told about the amulet during "I've Got a Feeling?"

Hey. New board.
Yeah. The summoning should have been accidental, somehow. He picked it up while humming a silly tune of some sort, then accidentally threw it in the vial of virgin's blood or something.

Here's the thing that bugs - one tiny change could have fixed it, I think. During Walk Through the Fire, Tara has a line " everything is turning out so dark". If Xander had sung that one line I think the whole thing wouldn't have seemed such an asspull.

Trust my rage
Willow falling for Kennedy. Also, the whole "lesbidar" joke because Willow, while initially naive in the series, had matured way beyond that.

Willow and Xander piling on Buffy in Dead Man's Party. Joyce and Giles had legitimate reasons to get on her case; Xander and especially Willow should have had a clue as to why Buffy felt she needed to take off.

Frank, that has always been my problem with that episode and I always held a bit of a grudge against both Xander and Willow because of it. I'm sorry, but floating a pencil and getting a boyfriend are nowhere on the scale of sending your boyfriend to Hell.

Xander I at least could see it from, given the "kick his ass" scene in Becoming II, although you'd think he'd be feeling just a little guilty. But yeah, Willow's been going through some really "big" stuff. @@
