Episode poll about Riley being a jerk and leaving all the blame on Buffy. 'Kay.
1. I said "bit of both". Obliviously, Joss plays with his audience but, in the end, so many deaths are sudden and we can't blame Joss Whedon if human life's like this.
2. Yes. We see on Riley's side the insicurities and the cheating, but on Buffy's side the presuption of being shut down. Riley accuses her to be far away from him and, in his perception, is a thing that matters.
4. I think that the writers put a lot of emphasis in this theme. Buffy is often portrayed as a young woman "shut down" for different reasons (Depression, duty ...) And this characteristic became important and discussed at beginning with Riley.
5. Buffy deserved to know, but Spike was insensitive and childish.
6. I wish I can say "sex addiction". Sex addiction is actually a pretty twisted condition, especially since sex is part of human life.
7. Pointed out that vampires are vampires and "willing victim" is such a volatile concept, since the slayer is one and is Buffy is better for her to focus on "unwilling victims" like the people on the street and such.
8. Really, Riley? A plastic stake? What you've thinking, dildos for vampire slayers?! O.ò
9. Give her the ultimatum.
10. I like that speech if a consider it exclusively about Anya and Xander. It's sweet, but totally off mark for Riley/Buffy.
13. Yes and no, in the sense that he was her boyfriend and, in a critic situation, is perfectly normal to focus more on the problems and less on the things that seems to work out. If we have a great problem, we put our effort in resolving it, counting on the people that we have on our side, no?
