Exactly what I thought. What I had no idea about was that there was contention she died when she was shot by Warren and was then revived. Which I think is a bunch of non-Occamy bullshit.

But he did kill her in the Wishverse too. So while I say Buffy died twice, Joss killed Buffy three times also seems accurate.

Follow my intricate semantic steps without getting dizzy.

I go with three times, myself (with The Wish).

I knew there was technically one other death. The Wish definitely counts. I also though about Nightmares, but I don't think the dreams ever became real reality.

Warren's shooting of Buffy definitely doesn't count.

Edited for an attempt at clarity.

Yeah, Warren didn't kill her. It was a close thing, but she didn't die then.

Did she die before time got rewound that time Angel became human?

no

It's all kind of a blur. Somehow my brain came up with "3" right away but wouldn't show its work.

Suddenly I'm struck with an obsession that we should register a whole slew of possible site names.

originalbuffistas.org
newbuffistas.org
realbuffistas.org

etc. (Including .comand others) to protect ourselves.
