God, that annoyed me. One big reason it bugged me was that I didn't watch this season on tv I watched the dvd so I saw the last few eps all in one night, and this really lowered my opinion of the scoobies and because it was all in one night I was still a bit pissed off with them during the final episode. It's a shame that I ended the show slightly annoyed with some of my favourite characters.

Of course I was still rooting for them, but I have to admit not as much as I would have been. This probably wasn't a problem for people who viewed it on TV, but seeing it all at once I was still kinda pissed on Buffy's behalf. If they had to have that scene I wish it had been earlier in the season so I had a chance to get completely back on the character's sides before the end.

What bugged me more than them kicking her out was the fact that they didn't even seem slightly worried about her after she left. Caleb had gone after her once already, she could have been dead for all they knew and not one of them seemed concerned about her. That was the first time I ever disliked the scoobies.

I was so glad when Spike called them all traitors and pointed out all Buffy had sacrificed for them over the years.

Did anyone else wish Buffy had defended herself more? Why did it take Spike to call them traitors and point out all she's done for them? she should have said that to them.

When Dawn told her to get out I wish she had said 'No, this is my house, if you don't want to share a house with me why don't you leave?'

And I agree with Candrani that if they felt this plot was necessary it should have happened earlier in the season to give people time to stop being mad at them, coz I was stil kinda mad at them by the end too.

I picked this because I think it was less justified. They didn't have the excuse of the stress of an apocolypse.

But empty places really annoyed me. This may sound way over dramatic but it ruined the show's finale for me. I watched the end all in one go too and I was so angry at the scoobies I couldn't enjoy any of the time they were on screen.
All the good moments they had were tainted by me thinking how cruel and ungrateful they had been, especially like candrani said the fact they weren't at all woried about Buffy while she was gone.

The second Buffy came back they should have all apologised, but they didn't. Like I said I know it sounds melodramatic but it stopped me liking all of them and that really spoiled the end of the show for me.
I agree that if they had to do that it should have been earlier so we had a chance to stop being angry at the scoobies.

All three bugged me a lot, but Revelations and Dead Man's Party completely pissed me off, because as far as I'm concerned there was absolutely no justification for it. Empty Places I could sort of see where the group was coming from. I agree though, they should have apologized properly when she came back.

I hated the Scoobies in Empty Places. I mean, Dawn is Buffy's freaking sister-"This is my house, too, Buffy." And her best friends and Giles? Geez...

revelations to me is the only one that seems a little more justified than the others. i mean i know it was difficult for her, but when she was off kissing him...i mean it also might be cuz i'm anti-bangel, but she really should've told them! they had a right to know that he was back. giles felt so betrayed, i just wanted to punch buffy! :)

i agree with jilly about empty places a little, i could see where they were coming from, but dawn and kennedy....UGH! my fists were twitching, wanting something to hit! and willow, and giles....they should've at least discussed it more instead of yelling at her!

i sort of get where they were coming from in dead man's party because they didn't even know if she was alive, i mean it took them a day to be certain that the world wasn't going to be sucked in the hell lol and well......the angel thing, i mean come on, she didn't know if it was even still angel i mean come on we are talking about the buffyverse here she should have lookedin to it more and at least asked giles or willow for help

however the last time, everyone seem to just want someone to blame and as per usual poor buffy had to take it

To be honest... no matter how sorry I felt for Buffy I could understand why they were angry with her...

Dead man's party was to understand because indeed, Buffy (no matter how good her reasons were) left them all in uncertainty... She could've called or something to at least let them know she was still alive... They loved her so much and she left them all worried, afraid and puzzled... Man, I'd be pissed too...

That they were 'angry' she didn't tell Angel was back was also to understand because of what happened when the poor bloke lost his soul.. I'd be very afraid too... And it was also understandable they thought Buffy didn't know what the hell she was doing because she'd always loved Angel very much... It is a normal train of thought... No matter how nasty it was for Buffy... I think it was kinda justified...

And Empty Places... Yes, indeed Buffy had saved them from a awful lot, but sooner or later that fact is gonna stop working... It was nasty how they didn't give her a chance to improve her ways, but she was indeed swallowed up in herself a little too much... It was true she had to make the hard decisions on her own and it was true she had a hard time dealing, but they were also kinda right when they stated Buffy didn't care that much... However good her reasons are, the fact is that she didn't even know most of the Potentials by name!

Think of it... You being a potential... all of a sudden you're haunted by things to awful to think of... You're very confused and scared... Than you come somewhere strange where you don't know anything or anyone... And there is this girl, who you've been told will save your ass... But... she don't even seems to really listen to the things you're saying... She's also not around a lot, and you're going to have doubts.. Thinking/fearing you'd end up dead no matter what..

And there comes this other girl... Who might not be the brightest or might not be the one to save you, but at least she's with you, seems to care more for you personally (at least enough to know your name)... This girl is a slayer as well, you don't know her more than that but consider it strange how the one slayer seems to be "above" the other.. It is no wonder they chose in their desperation and need for a personal touch Faith as their leader... However sorry I am for Buffy... It was understandable

I understand what you mean about the potentials in empty places but this is about the scoobies. They had been friends with Buffy for years and turned on her and in the middle of an apocalypse kicked her on to the streets.

And Like I said what bothered me most of all was that while she was gone and could've been hurt for all they knew none of them were worried about her.

Though it still annoyed me I could forgive the potentials but the scoobies had no excuse as far as I'm concerned.

I agree with everyone that picked: Empty places - Kicking Buffy out of her own house:

I thought it was really out of order. She was doing her job, the thing she was chosen to go.

She has saved them for ever! When Spike went off on them after he found out that they kicked her out, he took the words out of my mouth. When has she ever let them down. and Dawn saying that its her house too. who the hell does she think she is??!! she's fake its not her house! she has only lived there for 2 years buffy has been there for 7!!!! sorry it just pisses me off when they yell at buffy!

Every single time I just hate them .-. Leave Buffy Alone! She killed Angel she sacrificed twice she is always tired and nobody cares! tze

My thoughts EXACTLY!^^^

I hated the Scoobies with a passion concerning their unjust, hypocritical, ungrateful attitude toward's Buffy. Buffy could do well without them. They need her alot more than she needs them. I liked when Spike told Xander and Willow that Buffy was the one that fought the forces of evil, they were her groupies and that she could perform this job just as well without them, probably better because she would not have to save their ungrateful, selfish, sorry hides all the time. I really disliked Xander and Willow in season three and my respect for Giles dropped many points in that season on.

They ALL bothered me, but empty places was by far the worst, it actually made me hate every character except Buffy and Spike.

This one and Becoming part two. It made me so mad at xander for saying that about Angel in BP2. Dead man's party I didn't like the way he was treating her and made her feel uncomfortable and felt hated. I never see the seventh season yet and I am very curious of what had happened. All I know is that becoming part 2 and Dead man's party made me really upset for real.

Empty Places felt so contrived that I was more mad at the writing than the characters. It was just done to create the Touched Spuffy moment, and I felt it really unrealistic that no one would stick up for Buffy there.
