I know why you used 'betrayal' I was just pointing out that what you were critiquing was moscow's interpretation of the text not the text itself.
Angel: "And you can't possibly know what she's going through." Buffy: "And of course, you do? - I'm sorry. I can't be in your club. I never murdered anybody." After which Buffy could only appear more like a twelve year old by adding nah, nah, nah,nah, nah to the end of her line. Whereas in the comic as soon as she figures out what Giles has been up to with Faith she hands him over to Willow with instructions to do what she can. You can read her (literally) black mood afterwards however you want but as stormwreath and I have both tried to point out there are perfectly adult justifications for it.
Well if you're proposing that she's in love with Gigi That's a very Gilesian interpretation of why she wouldn't kill Spike. That she was a woman blinded by her emo to the risks he presented. (And she said she would let Dawn die not kill her.)
She'd certainly agree that taking out Gigi would be necessary if it'd stop an apocalypse. Would she? Or would she question the need to kill Gigi rather than at least attempt to reform her as you and others vehemently insisted Faith should have done?
