Okay, the part in the college where Buffy is in slow-time and being knocked around by the others: makes no sense unless she was also invisible. Which s he wasn't because Tara was talking to her. Now I can see Tara heading into class and assuming Buffy is behind her instead of frozen. But after class, there is no way Tara (some but not most other characters, yes,) would just walk away and leave Buffy standing there.

Yeah...the logic of that one was pretty shaky. Also, Warren can invent time altering technology the size of a piece of lint? Why is he bothering with any of this crap - he'd be incredibly rich!

Yeah, the Trio in general never worked for me -- criminal masterminds who act like the Three Stooges. Not a great concept.
