To me, that's what makes it realistic. Humans don't always word things all that well at times

Buffy's "it's too dangerous" excuse was really weak considering Willow had been helping her for years, and Willow (along with Xander and Oz) spent the entire previous summer fighting evil without Buffy.
I see a common complaint directed towards the later seasons was the distance between the Scoobies, but the Scoobies had been growing distant as early as S3, I think. Willow has a deep fear that the people in her life will eventually realize that she's just a lame nerd, stop loving her and leave her behind. And these fears manifested a lot more than usual in S3. After the fluke incident, she and Xander were keeping their distance, she was still earning her trust back from Oz and now Buffy was neglecting her to spend more time with Faith. I always feel for Willow in the "Bad Girls"/"Consequences" episodes. __________________

That really was a primary theme of Season 4 as well, showing that the gang was growing apart as they got older

That honestly seems like a problem between them at varying points in the show; neither of them being able to talk about each other's problems, whether they involve each other or not. I can't truly blame them at all for that, but at the same time, it's an issue that leads to things getting a bit worse at points when they could have easily been solved.

Yeah, but I guess it's true to real life in that way. I do feel like we were robbed of lots of scenes that should have taken place though - I mean, with Willow going evil, aside from that moment at the end of 7x03, we didn't really get anything & after Willow found out that Buffy had been in heaven too. I think the last real significant conversation they had was probably the one at the end of Wrecked

^ Sad to see how their friendship kind of slacked off over the seasons since they were such besties in s1. Watched "I Robot, You Jane" last night and it was nice to see Buffy trying to protect Willow from unknown, creepy internet guy. She had no idea he was actually a demon but she was concerned anyway. And I like that Willow really started doubting the guy once he started saying bad things about Buffy.

I Robot You Jane wasn`t really my favourite episode to be honest.
But it was nice how worried Buffy was about Willow. __________________

I think it is realistic, but that's not the problem I have with it, the problem I have is that the writers just seemed to stop putting very much effort into the friendships that had been the foundation of the show since the beginning.....
I like IRYJ, it's not the best, but I liked how it's basically an ep about catfishing __________________

I can agree with that. I'm not sure exactly what caused that. Towards the end of the show, it just seemed like they were trying to get everything in that they could, and rather than focus on quality, it became an issue of making sure as much was in it as possible

Agreed Plus they spent way too much time on the Potentials, and the show's other relationships suffer as a result

They really did, it's just so frustrating after 6 years to see so many of the central characters get shafted in the final season
