Line 43:
*** Oh please. If Xander actually wanted Angel dead, all he'd have to do is catch the guy asleep and set him on fire. Dawn figured that one out, so its not like Xander's going to miss it.
**** And yet he never did so all the while he was lecturing the rest of the Scoobies on their dereliction of duty. It's almost like he didn't quite dare to do it himself.
***** ''Angel'' lives alone, with no special security precautions. ''Angelus'' is forted up with Drusilla, Spike, and God only knows how many minion vamps. (Remember, even Giles only gets as far as he does because Spike deliberately holds Drusilla back from coming to Angelus' aid.) Xander doesn't go to his house and light him up because he has no hope of catching him alone, and since they're not total idiots they likely don't all sleep at the same time. Also, Drusilla is psychic.
* Leaving Anya at the altar for an absolutely BS reason, no one, AT ALL, calling him out on this, and then Xander having the unmitigated gall to judge Anya for having sex with Spike in the immediate aftermath? W.T.F? This was the exact moment when I got turned well and truly off BVTS.
** Xander'd been uncomfortable with the impending marriage all season. The unfortunate fact is, he's just too young; the big Apocalypse proposal was a grand and powerful gesture, but after they all lived through it, he started to have cold feet. He NEEDED to talk to Anya about maybe putting it off all season; Once More With Feeling even gave him them a song about this problem, I'll Never Tell, the title of which is precisely why it all went to hell. That he broke off the wedding was inevitable; the demon itself only gave his season-long fears and doubts solid form and forced him to face up to them. It's the timing that was just ''terrible''.
Line 51 ⟶ 52:
*** Not lots of therapy, just one sentence from Anya: Xander, just how much abuse do you suppose a former vengeance demon would take? Xander never gave her the chance.
**** Well, Xander just spent the episode living his worst nightmare. Asking him to put it aside in the span of ten minutes and get married in front of the very people he's terrified of turning into might be asking a bit much.
* Forget all the small stuff: what about the mass Criminally Negligent Homicide he committed in the Once More With Feeling?
