Interesting about Comic-Con. I hadn't heard that. We're you there or did you have an audio or video for it?
Completely agree about the problem of #34. We need something to make sense of it, because it really doesn't. It's not just that she's boinking this guy after five years of nothing (in the wake of finding out about 206 dead slayers and all the rest of it). It's that she's not intensely angry at him for trying to say he's been doing all this to manipulate her into becoming what she's become. I also have a problem with the following illogic: If Buffy and Angel have been meant to be together all this time, the only explanation for them not being together is the detachable soul. But they come together now with no mention of said detachable soul. The wank on that is that they both have reason to believe he can't get that happy again or whatever. But if that's so, why weren't they together already. I don't think you get both long separation and his soul not being an issue in one cogent explanation.
I'm willing to give Joss a chance to save all this in the last arc. But I'm not counting on it, and I certainly don't think it's OK as is.
