Why would they have a justified reason to be angry with her? They still have their powers. The witches, I can see them being reasonably angry since they don't. If anything, no new vamps makes the other slayers lives easier.
Except she was controlled in doing that. While they might not be aware of that, I wouldn't call their anger justified overall.
Since when did the Slayers care about legacy?
No magic for the demons either.
You've got your facts wrong Buffy was never controlled she had free will, so its justified. Also slayers have cared about their legacy since they have existed, thats where the pride in being one comes from, and I'm pretty sure people care about their heritage even slayers. Also just cause demons don't have magic doesn't really matter a lot of the good guys don't have it either, like those witches that died protecting the slayers in season 8.
Oh, so the words emblazoned on the page from not one, not two, not three, but four characters, including the one who knows everything there is to know about Twilight, Spike, and the person who brought it all about, Angel, is 'getting the facts wrong'?
Yes, the writers verified months ago both Buffy and Angel had free will. Angel was played by Twilight, Spike may have some facts right but he's totally wrong about there being anyone controlling Buffy and Angel.
No, they didn't. Meltzer said the opposite. Espenson said the opposite, to quote: "Buffy is better than that." By writers, you mean editor Scott Allie and he compared it to being given drugs. Except Buffy never chose to take any drugs. It is, in essence, date rape. Yes, glowhypnoled Buffy chose to do it just like spelled Buffy chose to come on to Xander almost sleep with RJ.
It's not Spike talking in #40. It's Joss. The story in it's text is 100% explicit about what happened. From Angel saying Buffy wouldn't be able to fight what was about to happen to Spike and Willow confirming it.
