I very much agree that it's not clear what Joss is trying to do. Twilight just is baffling. People can say it's bad writing because it's utterly baffling, and all I can reply is that I'm going to hang on to see if it's still baffling after Last Gleaming. It's the next step that I don't get -- slapping on some interpretation and declaring that it fails to live up to whatever that interpretation should be living up to. You'd think that the fact that it entirely fails to be that would constitute evidence that whatever Joss is trying to do, it's not that.
Anyway, sometimes a mood develops where people start making what I regard to be unfair complaints about whatever is the target of a generally-agreed on ire. I usually bristle when I think that is happening (not that complaints are made, just that some of the complaints start to be unfair, alongside all the perfectly fair ones). The problem is that the people making the complaints obviously think they are being fair and don't much like hearing me say they aren't. So I should learn to just step out of the way when that happens.
I'm glad you got to a place where you could enjoy Batman!
