Buffy Season 8

I just read a summary of the Giles storyline in the S8 comics. WTF? Is Joss Whedon nuts????

I always meant to read the comics and therefore avoided spoilers. I stopped reading after Ethan's death (and set about resurrecting him in fanfiction) - and now I'm pretty sure I'll never read the rest.

ETA: Sorry, I'd use spoiler cuts, but somehow I never get them to work properly. I used to have a posting client, that was really useful, but these days I type my entries into my browser and the cut thingie never works like I expect. I suppose I should download a client. Which one do you use?

Given how he wrote the other characters in the comics and how he'd written Giles up to that point, killing him just might have been a mercy. Real!Giles would have killed himself after that evolution garbage.

Horrible, horrible, horrible.

Ho boy, that sounds.... off-putting.

Maybe he should have just left his verse alone. I was happy the way it ended after NFA - not over the moon, because of dead Anya and Wes, but happy enough. There was plenty of room for fanfic....
*sigh*
