WSWB - OMWF

[butterfly]

It's interesting how in WSWB, Buffy is hurting and decides that she has to go alone, while by OMWF, when she's hurting, Giles is the one who decides she should fight alone.

In Seasons 1-3, Buffy does try to push the gang out of the fight. After that, she pretty much stops, yeah (and transfers that to Dawn)? Hmm. I need to rewatch S4-6. I know that it's stopped in 6&7, but I'm trying to figure the exact turning point. Why did she figure out that she couldn't protect them when they wanted in the fight?

Yeah. She stops... it's Kendra who makes Buffy stop calling it a job, yes? "You keep talking about Slaying like it's a job. It's not. It's who you are." And maybe she was realizing that you don't have to be Called for that to be who you are.

And yeah, there are a lot of interesting differences in S7.
