[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 715750, member: 4779"] The speech she gave was more for Willow, Spike and the others rather than the potentials, IMO. And yes, they were following her lead, but not to their full potential (not talking about the potential slayers, here). Willow has been unable to be fully effective with her magic, Spike has been a wuss and everyone was waiting around for her to do something. I'd like to believe that she was stressing that the more powerful and resourceful of the group be proactive rather than reactive. I don't think she did it in the best way possible. I'd like to think that (for example) if you put her and Angel in the same situation that they would handle it differently. Angel would be a little more calm and cool while Buffy would be more emotional and prone to an outburst. But that's just my take. ;) Still doesn't change the point that she didn't want to become a savage. She wanted info, not more Slayer Power for herself. The hand on the face was to give her the vision. But if you recall, the demon and Buffy returning at the same time was part of the secret of the box. In order for her to go back, the exchange had to be made again. Now, it could be that she was sent back at the part of her own free will but it didn't look that way nor did the episode seem like it was going that way to me. Works for me. [/QUOTE]
