I've long thought there was a tension between Joss's 'feminism' and his preference for writing about non-heroic types. Buffy's good instincts only go to fighting evil -- which is a point I'm going to have to remember when we get to her being faked out twice by the "come fight us alone" trick of WSWB and Becoming. Her instincts about other things are not so good.
Are you saying I can't count? The drawbacks of multiple edits!!! Interesting point about Buffy as a model of a hero. As we go forward I'll also be talking about her importance as the hero who saves their bacon.
