Also - Principal McHottie gets a vote? Whiny potentials get a vote? You ask me, the only people that get a vote are the people that have been with Buffy since the beginning. Four votes - but Buffy gets the final word.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Problem is -- final word doesn't count. If Buffy wants to take all the Potentials with her, they do need to agree. And the fewer she goes in with, the less point there is going in.
She was just going to use them for cannon fodder in the end. Until they have a plan. And an artefact. Artefacts always help.
The Principal? Not so much of a vote, though.

A person's concepts should exceed their vocabulary, or what's a metaphor?
I'm really shocked that nobody looked to Giles. Hello? Former Watcher? Leadership experience? Making hard decisions? Buffy claimed to be the one doing it, but Giles is the real general in that woman's army.
I understand it was for plot reasons, but my mind just couldn't make the leap.

I got the Giles thing, actually. He's both withdrawn himself from that position, and been discredited.

Yeah, but he's Giles... Or he was until this season.

Honestly, I can't see him leading them anymore. It'd have felt like a flashback to mid S5.

Pretty angsty boys make everything better.

And I just want to know one thing. What was Andrew doing with his hands while they were on that bike? t EG

Like a Troll Hammer?
I was mostly "Meh." on this episode except for Clem, the Willow and Xander sad-eye-snark, when Dawn and the Potentials (Popstars 3!) fought at the Bronze, and Spirew.
But at the end, Buffy started to redeem herself when she was honest with Faith on the porch.

There was talk about Angel 4x21 being shown on Tuesday for you guys. Is it true? Will there be crunchy internet goodness for me sooner than normal?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Oh, what do you folks think is hidden behind the stone with all the Latin carved into it? Mebbe an axe?
I am so rooting for the Fray axe. It might be "just an axe" to Fray, but that doesn't mean it didn't once (like now in the present) have mystical powers.
