First of all, how does that in no way prove anything? An evil person would voluntarily stay in jail for 3+ years when they could escape at anytime, why exactly?
On the contrary, it proves a lot. At the end of Five-by-Five we are given insight into what Faith is going through when she begs Angel to kill her. Sanctuary continues that with how much she hurts and how she realizes that she has done things that she can never take back. Then at the end of Sanctuary she voluntarily turns herself in and (presumably) makes a confession and gets 25-life.
In Salvage, Release and Orpheus we are given more proof that she has changed. The least of which not being that she is willing to risk dying to save Angel.
So her staying in jail proves nothing? I think your anger at my second statement is clouding your judgement.
And speaking of my second statement. It wasn't a personal comment, it was a general statement. Half this thread, and others like it, are little more than 'I don't like her because...' (she has dark hair, or I don't like her because she slept with Xander, or I don't like her because she has a tattoo.)
Whatever.
All I ask is that if people don't like Faith or Angel or Cordy or Willow or Dawn or whomever, give good reasons.
This is what we usually get for reasons:
Dawn whines. Faith is slutty. Xander is fat. Cordy is gross.
I would much prefer:
I don't like Dawn because she constantly whines and needs to grow up and realize that she is not the most important thing in the life of the scoobies. They have been saving the world longer than she has (really) been alive and she cannot always be a priority.
or
I don't like Faith because she tried to be evil for so long that she is overcompensating now. She is not being herself and it shows. She has always been 'loose', look at what she did to Xander. I don't think I can really forgive her for that.
or
Willow needs to grow up and accept her power. To borrow from Spidey's Uncle Ben, With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility. Will has the power, now she needs to learn to control and use it instead of being so afraid. She should face her demons and stop being a wuss.
See the difference?
Am I asking too much to expect thought-out and mature responses? I put thought into my posts, I expect the same.
What do I get?
Posts that are about as mature as a 13-year-old with a crush and less thought-out.
Posts like she's still bad
