It mostly seems to bug people who believe that Buffy would never sleep with Angel voluntarily.
I believe that Buffy would sleep with Angel voluntarily.
I don't believe that Buffy would sleep with Twangel voluntarily.
And yes, I think the idea of "Glowhypnol" is mostly a fanwank by people who can't bear to imagine Buffy having sex with Angel any other way. ;-)
Then how do you explain the glow? As a purely visual gag, Jossian version of Meyeresque sparkling? Or something relevant to the plot? :-)
But he wasn't. Neither in reality (the deaths would have happened regardless of his intervention, even if you refuse to accept his claim that he prevented many more) nor in Buffy's mind (since she mostly blames herself for 'changing the world' and turning public opinion against her).
This is where we radically disagree.
In reality, I think that Angel is responsible for what happened as a result of his actions. So far, Jasmine's logic was inacceptable in Jossverse, and I hope it won't change.
As to what happens in Buffy's mind... I don't know. Meltzer's characters are utterly puzzling to me.
Buffy's the kind of person who goes with her instincts and doesn't waste a lot of time in recrimination when there's an apocalypse to prevent.
I was talking about the first panels, before she finds out that their space-frak caused a demon invasion.
From Buffy's POV, I interpret these panels the following way: "We found Twilight's lair, discovered that he is Angel, so there is nothing to worry about. Angel said he did the right thing - he knows best."
