It always happens. This two sides to the story thing.

Another take on Joss's women, with this interesting line:

"What is it with Whedon and strong women? Not Whedon and strong "girls", or at least his version thereof - they all get happy endings, even when they are, in fact, unacknowledged sexual abusers*. But what happens to his women?"

I'm not sure I accept it--some of his men don't end up particularly well either, and given that the story is about character growth, particulary Buffy's growth, I can see why he did things the way he did--but it's a point of view.

I will start out by saying that I have enjoyed Buffy for years. I came late to the series--end of Season 5--and didn't watch it regularly until I bought the DVDs.

Things I ponder when I should be writing--possible spoilers behind the cut )I still enjoyed the show. A lot. As long as I didn’t think about some things too deeply because they just didn’t stand up to scrutiny
