See, when I thought she said "Until I saw Warren", I assumed she meant when he shot them. I don't know why. Willow didn't see Warren shoot Buffy and Tara, right? I think she didn't find out until Xander told her.

[The Worst: -- The unnecessary David Lynch-iness of "The Chain" ] David lynch-ness to issue 5....? I didnt feel any sort of lynch-esque storyline what so ever to issue 5.

The way it was told in such a non-linear fashion, rather than just tell it in chronological order...

Best : The Chain, Faith/Giles, Savidge, the mystery around Twilight, the Wolves at The Gate storyline.
Worst : Warren (his return so contradicts seasons 6 and 7 and is impossible to swallow), Buffy/Faith, soo many questions which take soo long to answer.

Best Parts of S8: -Dracula returning -Willow flying -Buffy & Xander's close relationship -Andrew
Worst parts: -Giles & Buffy's strained relationship -Buffy still hating Faith, prior to the whole fight. Come on. Let it go. -Dawn shapeshifiting and size shifting. Her whole involvement in the comics is pretty bland. -Buffy not knowing that Spike's back.
Really, I'm not loving Season 8 as a whole. I loved NFFY and WATG, but there are parts of each I'm still not liking. I'd like for Dawn not to be so annoying, and for Buffy & Giles to reunite.

Best: Buffy sleeping with a girl. Oz is going to return. Kennedy is actually interesting...throw Dawn in on that one too. Faith's arc. Dracula becoming a good character. i actually sort of like Willow's flying...but I think it's becoming dangerous.
Worst: Warren returning. Renee dyng. WILLOW'S DRESSES! The fact that it takes 4 months to finish the equivalent of one episode.

Best: Buffy/Xander's close friendship, the standalone issues are amazing, Xander/Dracula was awesome, the new characters: Satsu and Renee, and hopefully, Leah (I enjoyed her small scenes in The Long Way Home), the Faith arc.
Worst: Xander's uniform, change it already!! Willow's dresses and Warren's return.

Best: Willow vs Amy was good to finally see Willow take a stand against her, Faith still being around, Twilight good to see a bad guy to be in the know of Buffy, Xander/Renee, Satsu shes just awesome
Worst: Faith vs Buffy again its an old story that dosnt need to be retold, Lack of Giles, Mecha Dawn,

I like S8 so far, mostly anyway, but there are some things I don't like:
1. Warren's return. I agree with whoever said above that it's hard to swallow. I think Amy could've tortured Willow by herself with just as much narrative effect. Warren is borderline cheese.
2. The Giles/Buffy relationship! WTF is up with that? We get the hints that they're not exactly buddy-buddy, then the whole thing with Faith makes it worse, but in AWBH it seems as if Buffy, Willow and GILES have had a pow-wow that sent Buffy and Will on their mission for that comic. If Buffy was so pissed at him from the Faith stuff and whatever had her cheesed before, what's up with her meeting with him for this mission they don't know much about?

I get that this isn't a discussion thread, but i'd like to offer my opinion on this. They need each other. They're heroic people and they set their difference aside to help each other and the world. I don't think they'd be childish enough not to talk to each other when they need too. I just wish they would talk about Gigi and Radon. I seems as if they haven't, although Buffy probably told Giles about the Twilight-mark(issue2) since he talked to the demon-tribe Buffy attacked in issue 1.

Best parts:
1. I like how each issue keeps me guessing, especially with this whole Twilight villain, it reminds me of several of Joss Whedon's episodes of btvs.
2. I like how Xander forms another relationship only to relive the feeling of losing someone you care about; the look on his face when the blood splattered all over him was shocking!
3. A full 4 issue arc on my favourite character Faith!
4. Dawn's character development which is shown through all the different transformations -- we get to see more of her and how she would cope with these things better than on the show when she was slightly whiney (really whiney).
and last of all...
5. Buffy's first fight against Twilight -- I loved this one most of all because she was thrown around like a ragdoll but would never give up ... but as for Satsu, she was hit once and was unconscious within the second.
Now, here are my five things I don't like so much about Season 8
1. Willow's use of magic ... So during the TV series she became out of control with it which was GREAT for her character but I liked the storyling of season seven where she was too afraid to use it, when she had to keep it under control -- now, its like she doesn't care anymore and at the rate the writers are making her go she'll be off her head in no time.
2. I don't like how they have used Giles so little in these story arcs and one-shots. I remember how many people missed him during season 6 so they brought him back for the seventh season. Now, he shows up then goes, shows up then goes; good thing there's going to be an arc about him and Faith.
3. Satsu and Buffy = Eeeeeewwwwwww!
4. Riley is back and appeared on like one to two pages tops; you're killing me here.
5. I don't understand the reason for Warren to be here; Amy possibly, but Warren? It's time to get explain-y with the whole subject.
Oh and one last thing...
I LOVE DRACULA & XANDER IN WOLVES AT THE GATE

I'm liking Season 8 so far, but I want to start getting some questions answered! There's so much to digest.
Things I LOVE:
1. Wolves at the Gate - Dracula & Xander! 2. No Future for You - I'm really diggin' the new relationship between Faith & Giles. Finally! Someone Faith can trust; someone who is grateful for Giles's guidance and support. 3. Connecting Fray into this whole cannon 4. Exploring the repercussions of activating every Potential 5. Centaur Dawn 6. Buffy & Xander's close relationship 7. Xander the commander! And his hot eyepatch. lol 8. Riley possibly being a huge backstabber/double-agent/triple-agent! 9. Twilight 10. The Chain
Things I DISLIKE: (hate is too strong a word)
1. Buffy's reaction to the Faith. Seriously, after Season 7 she should just bury that grudge already. Let it go! 2. Willow's dresses 3. Warren's return 4. the lack of Giles. That seriously sucks. I miss the man. I want to see him clean his glasses and explain something. 5. Buffy's general behavior is annoying. She's no longer interested in protecting people, just her Slayers. 6. Willow's questionable relationship to Saga Vasuki (or however it's spelled).

She was just lonely and experimenting. She even told Satsu herself that there wasn't anything more to their tryst. But YES, I agree that Buffy sleeping with Satsu was annoying. I understand it, but annoying anyway. What a user. . .

BEST:
No Future For You
This season is set in Scotland (I'm from Scotland so yeah!)
Jo Chen's covers
The stories
Twilght
New slayers
Evil Slayers
WORST:
Warren, no need for him at all everything that he has Done, Amy and Twilight could have done wothut him. Useless charatcer brought back for shock value at the end of issue 3
Willow's over use of magic and weird dresses
Ugh, Dawn I like her in season 7 just slowly becoming a Scoobie and then they ruin her charatcer...again
The long wait between issues
I understand what Buffy was doing with Satsu and why she did it but it was not a believable charatcer progression...too rushed
No Giles
Buffy is back to feeling sory for herself
Other than the things I've listed above I love season 8 and am very happy that it is here and can enjoy, same goes for After The Fall and mostly all other things Whedon related. Firelfy, Serenity, Dollhouse, Dr. Horrible, Toy Story....
