Season 8 Buffy...

[sroni]

...Is not canon for me. It's just not. I don't care what Joss says, it is not canon.

I just read all forty issues, plus the stand alones, and seriously, I'm more confused after reading it than I was before reading it!

Can anyone explain things to me? Seriously? Because I'm a pretty smart gal, and I typically pick up on subtleties, but this thing is just a convoluted mess to me.

Sure, I can explain it:

Buffy's a closet lesbian, Angel's a superhero, Amy is keeping a skinless Warren alive, Dawn got punished for sleeping around, Willow's magic addiction is a total non-issue, the military ....

No, I can't explain it ... except to say Joss went way to mystical and forgot the whole making sense thing.

You pretty much got it. Convoluted mess seems to be the consensus in large parts of fandom, myself included.

Don't think anyone can explain it, you either think it makes sense, or don't.
