Buffy was bad but the worst was Angel in Not Fade Away. Not only does he not kill her for betraying him. He also gives her a reference. He let's a souless killer back on the streets with a Job reference while at the same ordering a Souled humans murder !Pretty self explanatory
The answer to my own question is that, same as Spike, she has delight armour
Opinions?
This actually makes senseApart from the delight factor, Harmony was an old school 'friend' not a stranger. I think knowing someone that well at school might be partly what held Buffy back. I also think Buffy probably felt responsible for her death and the guilt made her less ready to stake her. Also Harmony was pretty inept and easily defeated, so I'd guess Buffy never thought of her as a particular threat.
I don’t agree with Harmony being responsible for Buffy’s escape in Crush. I don’t believe Spike would have freed Dru for a second. I know she’s pretty harmless but misguided right she could do some damage purely for her lack of brain cells. A delightful lack of them but a definite lack of themHarmony has minions! One of the few times we see Buffy laugh.
Not that Harmony is a leader, she needs the minions because she can't do much herself. Harmony is also responsible for Buffy escaping in Crush. She also tried to fight Xander twice (once when she got into Buffy's house courtesy of an invite by Dawn and once when she was burning Spike's stuff and Xander found her). If Xander could get away from her, not much point in getting a slayer involved.

The unicorn obsession in itself deserves to be staked xD hahaBecause she's pathetic in her eyes? Well until her newfound Celebrity put her and all the Slayers in jeopardy with the government is.
And.... unicorns
At least she never read Cathy*The unicorn obsession in itself deserves to be staked xD haha
I think you're right. Season 5 became so focused on Dawn and Glory, vampire slaying became less important. In Season 6 Buffy's heart wasn't in it anyway and Season 7 was the end of the world and vampires seem such small fry when facing the end.As a whole, Buffy became a lot less aggressive towards demons after season 4. At least it seems that way
Don't know if she underestimates Spike, I definitely don't agree that what got her in trouble in School Hard was being over-confident, that was more his tune in that episode.Buffy never killed Harmony for the same reason that she didn't stake Spike right after he was chipped in Season 4. Contempt. Buffy is a little bit too self assured, and it sometimes gets her in real trouble. She's an excellent fighter, certainly, but, because of that skill, she often underestimates an opponent, much the way that she did Spike when they first fought in "School Hard," and it almost cost her her life. She did the same thing in Season 4, and a completely normal vampire managed to stab her with her own stake. She looks at Harmony and sees, not a dangerous, blood sucking predator, but the bumbling, stumbling Cordelia minion that she was all through high school. It doesn't help that she's died twice, and just keeps coming back. Buffy puts too much faith in her power, and one day, it just might catch up with her.
Spike caught Buffy off-guard by attacking on the Thursday instead of the Saturday so she was unprepared. Spike was caught off-guard because he thought he was dealing with Buffy alone and not her friends and family. The element of surprise is what endangered them both.Don't know if she underestimates Spike, I definitely don't agree that what got her in trouble in School Hard was being over-confident, that was more his tune in that episode.
I think she also see Harmony as someone she knew & since Harmony was never vicious Buffy was never angry enough to kill her .Buffy never killed Harmony for the same reason that she didn't stake Spike right after he was chipped in Season 4.

Haha, very true 😄 But then there'd be no more Dru 😰 That's Dru's delight armour at work as wellI will say Buffy's worst moment as a Slayer is letting Dru go in Crush. The First Slayer's ghost should have had a word with her after that.
