Oh yeah, that was annoying. In a way it would have made a little more sense if crosses and holy water didn't work in the Buffyverse - partly because none of the characters really seem to believe in them, though it would have been weird if that had been the only reason given Joss' own beliefs. It's one of those bits of the story that don't really seem all that well thought-out - it works in an "I can overlook it" way, at least as long as they don't introduce actual religion as a major subject in the story, but they could have done a lot more with it. But hey, as long as I get to play with the idea, I don't mind. :)
