Maybe Buffy's been asleep since the original storyline.
Oh, I think you could be onto something there. It would explain a heck of a lot. Everyone being generally WTF, it fixes up the issue with the AtS series (if Angel's not really there, it doesn't feck up their story) and it explains a very strange usage of the phrase "true loves" by Willow in the last issue. Not something she'd typically say and definitely hints at the first arc, not that people speaking weird would be a strange thing in S8.
Eh, if it was a small arc, I might think it would be a cool thing. But 3 years? That's just chickenshit storytelling. Of course you could say doing it knowing it would piss people off is brave, it's still weak and doesn't really fix the way everything was presented to the audience.
