The point where i quit caring was when Xander flaked out on Anya. It just didn't make any sense to me structurally. I cannot honestly believe the plot was stronger having them separate instead of together by the end of the season. That was the point where i realized they were going to toally dismantle the ensemble through the rest of the show.
Season 7 has some pretty good moments, but its like a step-child you adopt because it looks like your own baby that died in a fire.
See, I didn't find anything that happened unbelievable, just unfortunate. To me, it was clear from the moment Xander popped the question that he wasn't really prepared to go through with it.
He WANTED to, oh yes.. but he wasn't ready.
The big bad in season six wasn't the nerdy but hilarious trio. It was life, and trying to be a grownup. Half the reason this season was so depressing was that most of us could relate to one thing or another. Part of life and being grown up is that when you realize you've gotten in over your head, you try to make it right, even if it's horrendously painful.
Do I think Xander was a bit of an idiot? Yes. Especially when he had this moronic notion that they could just go back to dating. But I understand why he did it.
Joss couldn't leave them alone. The annoying thing about life is that we ALL have to struggle through it. Not just the heroes.
*shrug* That's my take, anyway.
(Ooh! I did love the Spike cliffhanger at the end there, though!)
