Angel ,'Conviction (1)'
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
All four of them wanted Buffy back for personal reasons (although Tara and Anya may have wanted her back to make their SO's happy).
There was no apocalypse in season 6 - except the one Willow almost brought on, herself.
And Buffy wasn't able to prevent that apocalypse. Xander did.
Willow had to bring back Buffy so a) there could be more Buffy and b) so that we could see she was arrogant and sliding to the dark side.
Who's to say the world couldn't have been saved otherwise?
Sorry, but if I've been on Buffy's team I'm not going to trust this to the CoW or the slut-bomb with cleavage (who never saved the world once). The practical reasons alone are justification, even if they would be a betrayal of Buffy's friendship.
(who never saved the world once)
You're right. She didn't. Did any other slayers? Did the world end?

I'm going to sit here with rational ita. Well, she'll sit, I'll be lying down on my side.
Will there be cabana boys, ita?
Will there be cabana boys, ita?
Yes, and body pillows.

I empathize greatly with your position, Hec. I really do. But this still has no bearing on the rightness or wrongness of what our beloved peeps did.
I don't believe Willow did it to help out the world. She did it because she could, and because she wanted her friend back. I do believe she honestly thought Buffy was in hell, but I also think believing that served her own purposes.
This is where I am, too.
Ah lovely, cabana boys and body pillows. After my nap, could Pablo bring me a frothy coconut something to drink?

Au contraire, it is certainly right by Utilitarian ethics. Even the Acceptable Losses standards drummed into the CoW and exhibited by both Giles and Wes. Though I don't think Giles would've had the heart to pull Buffy out of heaven. But I bet Wes would if he thought it would make a difference.
