Zodisgod wrote: the trial was sorted way too easily as well, that should have been a whole episode to itself. Which episode would you have cut from this season to show it?

how could he have made things any worse than they already were?

i would have cut the entire runaways sub-plot and anytime they appeared with cutaways to the trial. the runaways added so little to the plot that they didnt even get their own send off in the last episode, complete waste of time.

lets be fair, giles was terrible at being in control. it was always buffy or angel giving out the orders and when they werent around control fell to willow because giles lacked the backbone to make the tough decisions.
