My point with the quotes was that Rona started being a bitca BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENED. None of what you're talking about had gone on when Rona was sniping at everyone in "Showtime." Afterward, it's a different matter, though I still think everyone could have handled the situation better, INCLUDING Rona.
WHO . . . CARES? Rona is a naturally sarcastic person, who resents authority. She was being obvious that the only reason she ended up in Sunnydale, was because she wanted protection from the Bringers. Was she supposed to be this goody-two-shoes who blindly accepts everything that people tell her? Was she not allowed to have her own personality?
Buffy was a b*tch before she became a Slayer. She also shared a great deal of Rona's sarcasm and resistance to authority. And a good deal of her b*tchiness remained, years later. Am I supposed to tolerate her flaws, but not Rona's?
What is it with fans that recurring characters like Rona and Kennedy, whose flaws are not tolerated. . . yet, they tolerate the obvious flaws of Buffy and the main supporting characters? Or make excuses? Isn't that being hypocritical?
