Buffy: I've seen Angelus. And Angel's attempt to be Twilight. This is Neither. This is some cosmic vengeance. It’s cosmic vengeance not cosmic justice. The most obvious reference is to the new universe wanting to take revenge on Mommy (as Spike told her it would) with a side issue of Buffy’s guilt for having, as she sees it, started all this with the Slayer spell.
We're also told that Twilight/Twangel has orchestrated the torture and deaths of slayers and civilians. Not only told this, shown it. But we weren’t shown him orchestrating torture or death of civilians or slayers. We were shown him ordering Twilight believer’s deaths and sending Twilight’s armies back into battle against the Goddesses. All the rest was done by Twilight the organisation or its followers not Twilight himself as far as we were shown. It was assumed that Angel was responsible because he was the organization’s figurehead but never shown. We were shown that those who signed up to Twilight were in favor of nuking slayer/terrorist/criminals all on their ownsome, without Angel’s input because they didn’t jibe with American interests. When Angel told Buffy that governments were lining up to wipe out the “terrorists” she created, that had the ring of truth to me.
Yes, the big demon that Willow is fighting looks like a vagina with teeth. I don’t think she’s fighting it, looked like she raised it. Given all her mother talk, it’s the mother of all demons.
Angel finally killed his vampire daddy. OR Twilight did. I'm not sure which. Like father like daughter. Killing fathers is what Angel does best. Giles next.
Angel or Twangel snaps Giles's neck in a similar manner to Jenny Calendar's. Don't worry Angel fans, it's not really Angel, it's Twangel or Twilight or the new universe that did it. This isn't Angel's fault at all. It’s totally Angel’s fault. Killing/replacing (when they're all gone, you'll understand) father figures is what he does.
It's clear from these panels that Giles didn't intend to destroy the "Seed" with the Scythe, he intended to destroy Angel with the Scythe. The dialogue indicates that Giles was at least considering killing Angel when he went down there (but may have realised how impossible that would be when confronted with them). The panels show him heading towards the seed and away from Angel so in the event he was either hoping to break the former or get killed by the latter in front of Buffy (given the dialogue about getting between her and Angel).
No, she decides to destroy the Seed - which for some reason or other she equates with all the pain and suffering she's feeling at the moment. I don’t think it’s just her pain. Spike told her the seed was the source of all things magical and demonic. All the hyped-up, overblown supernatural soap opera ways her world works, where universes get destroyed and people die just because it makes for a good punchline.
From Spike's perspective everything went well, and he darts off to fight the vagina demon that Willow couldn't defeat. I think she made it rather than failed to defeat it. Whatever, it fits with Spike’s women issues rather niftily. He loves them even while he thinks they can be cunts.
