[QUOTE="Chun-tzu, post: 800237, member: 1441"] There's a theory going around that there's something wrong with Giles, even if he's not the First. But personally, I don't see any inconsistencies with Giles' recent actions (his constant disappearances are annoying, though). Giles has always taken on the role of making tough decisions, and accepting the responsibility for them. He drugged Buffy and removed her powers back when the Council ordered him to, to test her. He never had Buffy kill Ben, Glory's shared form; he did it himself. Why shouldn't he have given Robin his chance, seeing as they're in an apocalyptic scenario and that from what they know, Spike was more of a danger than an asset in any way (that's changed slightly, now that the trigger has been removed). Giles is absolutely right, Buffy has a blindspot when it comes to Spike. Buffy says she needs him because he's their strongest warrior. But not long ago, Buffy told the elders (those guys who gave the first Slayer her powers) to screw off, she didn't need power or strength. Nor has Buffy made any efforts to recruit some extra muscle, like Riley, Angel, or Faith. That's because she's not really in need of more warriors. [/QUOTE]
