Heh, well, obviously any argument that involves the awesomeness of Being Erica is going to win my heart, but yes, all of this.

I am unapologetically a Buffy stan, and I've identified quite a bit with her misery (particularly S6). But you've hit on exactly why I CAN'T identify with Buffy S8 - because I feel like we should be past this. I just don't understand how she's in the place that she's in. We should be building her back up instead of tearing her down even more. And I just don't think Joss is capable of that. Buffy never learns any lessons because Joss can't write a character who's not fundamentally screwed up.

I am also firmly of the belief that Buffy is in need of some quality therapy, and has been probably since S2. :)
