Did I Fall Asleep?
Well we still dont know how she was sent there or if this is all real. But since this looks to be set during S1 she wont be changing anything that drastic that already hasnt been changed by Dawn being there.

Here's what it says at Dark Horse...
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 #20: After These Messages . . . We’ll be right back! :: Profile :: Dark Horse Comics
Tomorrow (Wednesday) will be December 3.
And seeing as I'm there maybe it's worth quoting the promo blurb as well.

I do believe the "monkey robot" comment is just about "Wolves at the Gate" and the Dawnbot (yes, I know it's very painful, but we have to remember the Dawnbot). Well obviously it was a robot - and kind of monkey too, all with the tail and all. I really think that's all there is to it.
I think I will like this issue, I hope there's gonna be a good explanation for this. The art is fun. I'm glad it's not like this all the time though ! And yes I was a little bit surprised about Buffy's comment about Cordelia but, well, I guess she was just saying that for "fun" - besides, let's not forget she just saw the worst part of Cordy again, the "humiliating-your-best-friend" part. God she was such a bitca then, I never understood those people, what good can come of making fun of someone repeatedly like this ? Anyway...

Dark Willow Is So Cool

It's not okay for Buffy to bash Cordelia, but it's okay for Cordelia to bash Buffy? *blinks*

at first I was put off by Buffy's line to Willow; it seemed mean and catty. But then I was reading other people's comments at Whedonesque and someone posed the idea that maybe Buffy doesn't know that Cordelia is dead or was thinking of recent events. Buffy has just been to the future, seen her best friend still alive due to (presumably) her awesome magical abilities. From Willow's perspective every one of her contemporaries is dead, she's outlived them all ...including Cordelia.
Reading it that way takes the nastiness out, makes it funny, makes it ironic. Hopefully this is the way its meant. It's what i'm gonna believe until proven otherwise.
I hope this whole thing is just a dream with no bearing on the present/future.

This explanation fits seeing how the first thing Buffy thinks about when seeing Willow was "Willow's alive. This is before I killed her." So she was think about Future Willow when comforting Willow about Cordy being a bitch.

Hmm. I thought at first this was intended to be just sort of a comic-relief fill-in issue before the next big arc starts. Of course, that's what a lot of us had been expecting of "Once More With Feeling" too. In the Buffyverse, "gimmicky" does not equal "insignificant." This will be another issue to pay close attention to.
I think the time that Buffy has gone back to explains alot as well, I mean it would around here when Buffy tells Cordy 'You don't tell anyone I'm the Slayer and I won't tell anyone you're a moron'. Trés catty if you ask me. Also lets not forget how Cordy had just treated Willow in that scene, like she was a piece of dirt in her way. If someone treated my best friend like that I would saying alot worse than what Buffy did.
I really don't think Buffy knows what has gone on with the former Scoobies in L.A. and was just reacting to what had happened with Willow. It really wouldn't have been an out of place comment during this part of the show.

It's still kind of a harsh and unBuffy line.

Who's the goddess? Both of them are far from it 🙂
Besides, Cordelia has just insulted Willow publically, she deserves someone saying something harsh about her. She's not the only one who gets to insult others.

I'm sorry, but doubting Cordelia's godliness puts you in the red...

Hi all this is my very first post. I love all things Buffy and Angel series. And to answer the comment about Dawn she's a little sister all of us with younger siblings can tell you their annoying and whiny and eventually appreciate us softening mom and dad up much later on in life. So what's the big with Dawnie acting like a brat she's supposed to be like 10(they no it alls, think back when you where in junior high and you'll see how dead on that is) also i was wondering if we all ready discussed the shocking ex boyfriend comeback at the end of #19.

There's a discussion thread for the current issue where people are discussing Riley's return among other things concerning #19. You can also open a separate thread for Riley discussion if there isn't already one in Season 8.
Actually, if Cordelia is a saint or a goddess then I'll lose all my interest in her. She'll be just another face with no personality. Unrelatable.
She's an amazing person who acomblished a lot to the world and her friends. But during high school years? She's just a bitch who still has a long way to go. In fact, I like her better in high school years and the first two seasons of AtS than the goddess version of S3 and S4 AtS.

Buffy #20 is NOT listed on Diamond Comics Distributors' release list for this week, despite still being listed on the Dark Horse site as having a December 10 release date.
I had been surprised from the start to see Dark Horse listing it on the 10th, because they were (so we're told) going temporarily to a 3-week schedule, and it's only been 2 weeks since #19 came out.
Gotta get that release schedule shaped up, Dark Horse...

I'm not referring to her as a literal Goddess...it's an EXPRESSION that some of us poofy types use to describe females we worship and admire...
Geeeeeez.
