Buffy's rantings

[Xin Rong]

well she did the same thing with angel...and once again I did not see anyone coming up with a way..so she wouldnt have to kill anya..unless you count xander's annoying bantering

But once again she didn't give them time, she decided what to do without consulting them

The bomb couldn't be helped and buffy could just as easily ade the same mistake, in fact taking the girls to the vineyard when she knew it WAS A TRAP was a much bigger mistake

She didnt kno it was a trap exactly. All she knew was that that some preacher guy "had something of hers".

People did help her. Giles, Willow, Xander, and etc. helped her all the time. I'm not saying that Buffy didn't do anything or didn't make a lot of decisions or that she didn't keep people alive. But she DID have help.

I think the issue of 'buffy having help' does not deal with the actions of Giles and Willow and Xander assisting her for many years. Yes, that is true. The conversation about buffy 'ranting' about having to support her own decisions because nobody helped her was at the point and time of season seven end. During the remaining episodes of season seven, there is a sever shift from helping Buffy into attacking her.

She had help, up until a certain point. Therefore, when she sees the help breaking away, she starts making decisions and acting without said help she's used to. Justifiable ranting, I should say.

well with angel..she was told to go kill them..so..so much for consulting..
Even if she would have consulted the game what would they have said?
Besides more compplaining..and annoying banter from xander..as usual..
being a leader SHE had to take charge..because no one else would.
It was her repsonsibility..her job to come up with a plan everytime..to save the world..sure she could have consulted to them...but like Giles said before
it was her duty, to complete her mission..or something to that nature..which is probably why she didnt say anything

Plus everyone was sitting on their bums...COMPLAINING.. but not ONE of them was like "oh hey buffy why don't we try this"..no and plus it was BUFFY'S responsibility..to ELIMINATE the problem..nowhere in her job description does it say babysit whiny useless potentials..
