Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kid Charlemagne" data-source="post: 1268372" data-attributes="member: 93">Please!  Let us know how far along in the series you are.  One of Joss Whedon's bits of genius is feeding us little bits of continuity over 7 years, and we need to know what we can safely tell you!I think Buffy realized she couldn't just walk away at that point.  She realized that she had some responsibility that she needed to take on.I don't think most kids think that way.  I know I didn't know all the possible options I had as a kid, so I'm sure Buffy is the same way.  Plus, Buffy wants more than anything else to be a normal kid.  I don't know how far along you are in the seasons - that would be good to know, as Giles does stand up for her in just this way at one point.  I don't want to go into details in case you haven't gotten that far yet.Difficult question to answer without spoilers.  If you've seen Season three go ahead and check out these spoilers. [spoiler]Eventually, they do.  In season three a government operation is one of the main elements of the season.[/spoiler]I don't think that Vamps and Demons are as much of a problem normally - its because of the Hellmouth that Buffy sees so much action.  That means the Watchers are not all that field-tested.  They are very set in their ways, but I don't know if I'd call them incompetents and idiots.Well, first off, it wouldn't make great TV.  Secondly, Giles can't force Buffy to do anything, really.  He has to maintain secrecy too.  And over the course of time, they do talk.Joss Whedon uses guns rarely.  Guns draw attention.  And dead people probably taste bad.Stay tuned.  Things aren't that bad all the time in Sunnydale.  Xander and Willow have access to that stuff if they need it, they just don't need it all the time.</blockquote>
