Line 68:
** Tara only saw the Buffybot once in the episode it showed up for the first time, for not even a minute and after just being woken up. It still doesn't make that much sense after the aura thing, but that might be the excuse for why she missed it.
** It's not just Tara. It was funny and refreshing when, after seeing April in action, everyone immediately agreed that she was a robot -- you could appreciate that the episode wasn't going to make us wait twenty minutes while they figured that out. And a few episodes after that, the show decides it ''is'' okay to pretend these same characters wouldn't know a human from a machine that's not that great at passing for one, even though it's now trying to pass for ''their own best friend''.
*** Being fair, they were entirely aware that Buffy wasn't remotely acting anything like she normally did. That was the entire reason they were holding an intervention in the first place. Its just that their first hypothesis was 'Buffy's having some kind of mental episode' instead of 'Robot girlfriend guy is back and built a duplicate of Buffy for some reason'.
* Faith was perhaps the most interesting character in the show, before she becomes a psychotic male raping [[Blood Knight]] who enjoys hurting people. Every [[Freudian Excuse]] and [[Hidden Depths]] in the book doesn't make her actions any more justified or any less [[Squick]].
** Though a lot of tropers decided it was worth the character derailment to watch her atonement in ''Angel'', which provided some of the best episodes and most amazing moments.
