What was striking to me was the similarity in all the complaints about Anakin's fall to Dark Willow. Seriously, I felt like I could do a search and replace with the names. And it's made me wonder, why are there so many who don't buy either downfall even as they admit that the clues and buildup were so prevalent as to render the eventual outcome inevitable? There seems to be a problem in following along with that final leap from "tempted by the darkside" to "totally giving in to it."
As for S7, I have to admit, I have zero problems with the plot. None. There's nothing that doesn't make sense to me. I was rather stunned that people were upset by GiD just because I thought that revelation was obvious from at least Restless on. If anything, I could see being disappointed that it was so unsurprising. But the betrayal people felt over it always confused me. But anyway, I'm not sure if it's just because I'm so unconcerned with plot and generally tend to just look for the most obvious, surface-y answer and then let it be (There's a disturbance in the Slayer line that lead to the First Evil making its move, in Chosen Buffy makes the line irrelevant...good enough for me), but I just don't have the same issues that most people do.
