Late to the party. I have to disagree about Faith. It‘s not like she‘s been in town long. She‘s not really bonded emotionally with any of them yet. She‘s still trying to figure out how she fits in with the group and their ‚secret meeting‘ wasn‘t helping a bit. She wasn‘t there when Angel was around for real. She doesn’t know him. All she has, are stories about how Buffy had to kill him because he turned evil. And when she learns he‘s back she does so from Xander. Who has his own issues with Angel and is ranting about how dangerous he is. So of course her instinct as a slayer is to kill Angel. So what if she doesn’t stay around for Giles. To do what? She’s not a doctor. She’s a slayer. So her her concern is stop the evil monster, she thinks Angel is, before he hurts more people or does whatever with that glove. And in the end when Buffy comes to her, I understand Faith too. She has been hurt again, physically by Buffy, when she thought she was doing the right thing and emotionally by the woman she thought was there for her alone now. Someone who would be at her side so she wouldn’t be alone anymore. She ist also still feeling left out by the group. So I can see why she holes up in the hotel, licking her wounds and is not yet ready to see a different side and let Buffy in.

Even when Xander makes valid points, he does it in such a way that it is obvious his motives are born out of jealousy and selfishness. I also agree with you on the Xander/Willow issue. I feel that Willow’s feelings to Xander for all of the previous years are hard to fight when he suddenly (after she is dating someone else) decides he has feelings for her. They are both wrong, but I can’t help but hate Xander a little bit more. And poor Faith just had so many trust issues. She tries to get Buffy to open up about Angel at the beginning, then Buffy shuts her down. Then Gwendolyn manipulates her. She’s also younger and less mature (in some ways) than Buffy. So I guess I can understand some of her actions. Finally, thank you for defending the honor of drummers everywhere. I was starting to feel personally attacked!!
