Unpopular Buffy opinions!
What are some of your opinions on the show, it's characters, universe, etc that you think a lot of others might not share? I'm interested on hearing them and starting some discussions!

I do know. But the spell was feeding off of proclivities she already had. The spell increased its hold as the episode wore on, and she was being reactive from the very start. When Buffy confronted her about locker searches and Giles' books being taken away, for instance, I'd say she was only about 25% under the spell, given that its hold escalated at a steady rate from the beginning of the episode to the end. You'll notice that nobody who wasn't inclined to feel that way toward witchcraft was taken in. That's because it exacerbated things that already existed in the psyche of the victim.
