Oh I am laughing so hard - not at you, but at the writers. This is why I don't pay attention to them unless I have to. Or I'm looking at things from a doylist perspective. Or just feel like bitching.
Selfless is another of those episodes where I think fandom largely missed the point (along with Fool For Love and others). It's an Anya episode, but also a Buffy one because both womens' purposes cross. Anya's forced to do her job as is Buffy. Buffy's "work" is a core theme in 1-5 of Season 7.
YES to all of this.
Which is a huge, massive problem I have with those friggin' comic books because they outright say the opposite.
I take it you mean whitewashing Angel's actions because goodness, the poor guy had the best intentions, he really did. (So let's let all the blame and shit fall on Buffy's head because she's a stupid girl with stupid hair and everyone knows she's a bitch anway.)
I'm paraphrasing, of course. (Gee, do I sound bitter?)
