It may as far as we're concerned, but I don't think Faith's anger at Buffy has anything to do with disapproval of vigilanteism, especially since that was precisely the philosophy of Slaying that Faith offered Buffy. In any case, I've never been sure what category killing Faith falls into, but if Buffy and Angel had the right to defend each other with deadly force before the arrow struck, I don't see why that right would end once the poison was in Angel's system. >And her unrepentant attitude in >"Sanctuary" only makes it worse. IMO, It's Buffy's perogative to stay angry at Faith, at least as far as Faith is concerned. If it's less than perfectly noble of her, that's none of Faith's business. When you've done genuinely bad things, you can't expect people to be ready to forgive you the instant you repent. Faith seems to understand this, which impresses me.
