I don't like this episode for a lot of reasons. In particular, how cartoony Willow, and now Amy's use of magic has become. Before they needed to say incantations and have specific ingredients (especially Amy, last we saw her) and now they're both basically Sabrina the Teenage Witch - point their finger and zap whatever they want into existence. Last season Willow could barely teleport a god, now she has more power than one. Don't even get me started on Bike. I hate Buffy and Spike together....

See, I disagree on the issue that people should be having with Willow's use of magic. In terms of using magic to make party favors or interface with her computer, who gives a shit? She doesn't have to sacrifice a virgin to do it, ostensibly; and it's really no different than the technological advances we've made to make the so-called mundane things of everyday life increasingly more convenient. We don't have to wash our clothes by hand, make our own soap or butter; and we can send and receive letters in the blink of an eye. Especially if you're going to have access to this absurd level of power, use it for practical purposes. If it doesn't hurt anyone, why care? I think they should have even used magic to fix the pipes at the beginning of the season. Not Willow alone, mind you, because she cuts corners, which is part of the problem, but if Tara were working with her on it, it probably couldn't have been worse than paying a small fortune to have it done professionally. And then we would know that Tara and Willow were pulling their weight in the Summers house. The problem with Willow was and always has been her total lack of ethical application to her actions. She think because she's physically able to doing something, that makes her entitled to do it. She does consider anyone else's feelings or objections; and she doesn't even consider the possibility of something going wrong. She only does magic she thinks will work. Case in point, Dawn wanting to bring Joyce back in season 5. Tara dissented entirely on the premise that it was wrong, which didn't even occur to Willow. She immediately went, "it must have turned out wrong" as the reason people don't do it; and that's how she looks at things. It's not worth doing if she can't be sure it'll work; and everything in those terms is binary - yes it will work, no it won't work, there is no "maybe"; despite the fact that she has personal experience doing spells she reasonably believed would work that blow up in her face. She corrects for what went wrong *that time, but refuses to believe she'd ever make a different mistake later. But if Tara and others can't make the distinction between the types of magic Willow should or shouldn't do, how is Willow supposed to? And this goes back to the beginning of the series; she was already hacking the city's servers, just to prove she could do it. Willow's response to Buffy questioning if "Malcolm" was really who he said he was ("I, Robot, You, Jane") was shades of Willow's confrontation with Giles over bringing Buffy back. It has nothing to do with the magic and everything to do with Willow's entitlement and lack of ethics. It's the same thing driving Warren and the other idiots. They think because have the resources to steal a diamond or do all this other shit, they're entitled to do it. Even if it is stupid that someone with at least Warren's engineering skills would waste their time ripping off Sunnydale, when he could have become a tech billionaire the so-called legitimate way, and just be a normal horrible person, instead of a comic book villain.
