[QUOTE="stevelabny, post: 1268364, member: 9298"] CUZ SHES A HERO. heroes do good deeds without asking for rewards. The Sunnydale problem wasnt as obvious in season 1. Also, you can probably safely assume that Angel/ the Mayor/ anyone else was taking care of stuff behind the scenes. The Watchers arent idiots. Theyre just very stuck in their ways. Giles didnt talk to Buffy because he had no idea how to deal with a teenage California girl. Buffy didnt talk to Giles because he's an adult authority figure. Teenagers and adult authority figures NEVER sit down and talk to each other. This is the circle of life. Vampire ego. Now that their bodies are weapons, they will usually fight without any extra weaponry. Also, real world issues like budget probably affect this. Buffy was still new on the scene in season 1, her personal life wasnt general knowledge yet. Plus, supporting characters as victims is the easiest way to make UNINTERESTING supporting characters. Again, this is Season 1 youre asking about. This is all new to everyone. In most cases Buffy would try to keep the others out of the fights as opposed to later seasons where she has no problem going into battle beside the mere mortals. Riiiight. Not trying to offend you. But you won't be able to get deep meaningful answers from such simple questions. For the type of Buffy psycho-babble youre looking for try going here: [url]http://www.slayage.tv/index.shtml[/url] All sorts of wannabe-literary types will pretentiously break down the Buffy-mythos into all the themes and symbols Joss and the writers intended and hundreds more that were never inteded. I went to a Harry Potter Symposium just like it this July. Amusingly pretentious. The average essay probably isnt worth the paper its printed on but hey, these people actually sell BOOKS on this stuff. See Amazon.com I dont know you. Were you old enough 7 years ago to appreciate the show? Do you live somewhere with a WB channel? Were you trying to hard to be "cool" to discover a good show? Do you not actively look for new TV shows (or other entertainment) figuring that someone else should do the work for you? It could be anything ranging from bad luck to serious psychological problems.
