I didn't mind Buffy and Giles' snappy tone over the phone.
I don't mind it either. But, with writers interviews revealing that we won't see Giles soon, it looks like they stopped talking for a long time because of a silly misunderstanding.
I suppose it's a plot necessity, a set-up for a future arc, but - could Vaughan handle it more subtly? Could he cut one Faith's flashbacks in favor of Buffy-Giles scenes?
Buffy even has to borrow Willow's phone to get in touch with him
I think she asked Willow because her own phone has been drowned in Gigi's pool.
This situation reminds me of Marvel's Civil War series, where it's demanded that all superheroes register themselves. Understandably, the gouvernment doesn't want rogue, suped up people rampaging around unchecked. This, to me, seems like the best source for what's to come. Yes, I do love my gray areas ;)
I think it's one of the trickiest aspects of the season 8. It's the most magic-fuelled season of the show. If we look at the situation from a RL viewpoint, the most dangerous superbeings are witches and sorcerers, not the slayers.
Anyway, we'll see where Joss will lead us. :)
...and now you've set me off! I was swearing I wasn't going to start writing reviewish stuff
I loved reading your comment. It made me rethink some of my ideas about season 8.
