Via elisi, although I’m thinking I should friend you anyway.
So basically Amy had “maybe a four-second window” (revenant Warren isn’t giving times to the decimal point) to start mystically re-skinning. I’m good with that, I always said he was dead (although even Xander can revitalise the merely clinically dead).
Willow’s fault was not killing him but not killing him enough. I think I said that too :
Finding …that the one positive thing Willow thought she’d achieved (removing the threat Warren posed to future Taras) was an illusion makes things more complicated not less for her.
What is Warren supposed to do? Well you know that Marx (Karl not Groucho) quote about history repeating itself first as tragedy second as farce? The purpose of Warren’s second act is entertainment pure and simple. Self-quoting again:
Warren is more spectacular but I think Amy will prove the more significant villian, her SO somewhere between extremely gross pet and darling boy, almost cute when he’s talking about never getting tired of his exit line. There’s a definite Spike'n'Dru vibe between them..
As originally conceived it was Dru who was to be the major villain of S2, Spike was just the toyboy to be killed off mid-act. I don’t quite see skinless Warren getting the same reprise but you never know in comics.
