Isn't Wolfram and Hart too powerfull?

[Buffyverse Fan]

No wonder people do not like Season 7. They either do not understand it or refused to do so, because they dislike its message.

You don't get it, do you? The First Evil was the essence of evil itself. It was the evil that existed in all sentient beings, and that included Buffy and the Senior Partners of Wolfram and Hart.

This is what Joyce was trying to hint in Buffy's dream in one of the mid-season 7 episodes. But Buffy refused to listen. And I can see that many fans have either never considered this or simply do not want to. Why? I guess they would rather simplify what evil really means.


All that amulet did in "Chosen" was stop the First Evil's plans by closing the Hellmouth and killing the Uber Vamps through a Champion wearing it. That's it. The First Evil was never destroyed. Not when evil continues to exist in other beings . . . like the Senior Partners.

Wow...

No one was saying that the First was killed. But your logic doesn't add up.

The First Evil is part of Wolfram and Hart. They are NOT two separate entities.

The First: Raised an Army of Uber Vamps to tip the scales of good & evil.

Wolfram & Hart: Likes the current balance of good & evil. Then Aided in destroying the First's Army.

I understand that you're saying that the evil within W&H stems from the First. Even if that's true, at this point the First has little to no control over the Senior Partners, since the Senior Partners actively worked against one of the First's major projects.

The Senior Partners would not have participated in destroying the First's Army if they were in fact the same entity.

Then if you go back further, the First explicitly states that Angel's death would be an acceptable alternative to reverting into Angelus.

W&H: 1.) Want to corrupt Angel, they don't want him to become Angelus. 2.) Find Angel's death unacceptable since they consider him pivotal to their current Apocalypse.

The First & W&H have clearly separate agendas, therefore they are not the same entity.

No, CordyCet, The First was not beaten. For one thing, I fail to see how blowing up the hellmouth would have much of an effect on an incorporial being, and I don't know where you are getting the idea that the Hellmouth was the "center of the first". Where was that ever stated? It was using the Hellmouth as a gateway between the hell dimension it was storing it's army and the world. The First cannot be beaten - that was the entire point. It's plans can be thwarted, and the balance can be tipped, but The First will always be there.
