Sorry, I just watched this episode and I completely agree with what was said, relating it to my supposed mental illness--
"Funny, 'cause I look around at this world you're so eager to be a part of, and all I see's six billion lunatics looking for the fastest ride out. Who's not crazy? Look around... everyone's drinkin', smokin', shootin' up, shootin' each other or just plain screwing their brains out because they don't want 'em anymore. I'm crazy? Honey, I am the original one-eyed chicklet in the kingdom of the blind 'cause at least I admit the world makes me nuts. Name one person who can take it here. That's all I'm asking. Name one."

Taken from the Buffy episode "The Weight of the World"

Mental illness is kind of amusing.

Buffy, however, is not.

Yup, when Glory is feeling guilty

In my opinon, Glory doesnt feel guilty, she is just justifying her actions. In reality, she really isnt even bad. She's doing what she has to do to survive and get back home. But she's hurting people along the way that Buffy cares about, and she's risking destroying the world. Does she have another choice?

She doesn't really have any choice... it's in her nature to try to go back. But the Ben thing messed her up.

The 'key' thing was so flawed anyway, the whole arc was just intent on getting Buffy up on that tower, regardless of logic.

I think Season 5 was a decent arc. I think it was neccesary for Buffy to die (for real) eventually. Of course, I think the show should have ended there. It was fitting for it to end that way. Her ressurection...eh, it was ard. I have never seen Season 7 tho.

The theory was so flawed (yes I am a nerd)
I think that the ressurection was too easy and too convenient- the Scoobies were being selfish. It died after S5, I only watched for Spike.
Spike and Andrew carried the show in Season 7.
