Okay folks. So it seems to me that those of you who are upset over what happened to Sam keep wanting to blame Anya for it. And, while she was technically the one responsible, I think a few things need to be made clear.
First of all, Anya is a vengeance demon. That's her job. She doesn't intentionally go out looking for trouble, she isn't trying to end the world or feast on small children. She waits for someone to make a wish - her specialty being scorned women - and she grants said wish. That's it.
Secondly, just because she's a demon doesn't mean she's evil. Typically, yes. Demon = bad. It's a great rule of thumb to have here in L.A. if you want to live past your first five minutes of arriving. However, not all demons are evil. There are always exceptions to the rules. Some demons are good, some are neutral. Anya falls in the neutral category.
Third, and I've double-checked this with someone here who knows her fairly well, Anya may do and be a lot of things, but she doesn't lie. In fact, she can give me a run in the tactless department.
That being said, if Anya says there's no way she can reverse the wish, she means it. She isn't lying, she isn't being coy, she's telling you that there is no way she can reverse this wish.
That doesn't mean it can't be undone. She just can't undo it.
And that's pretty much it. If you want to still be pissed at her or whatever, that's fine. It's your decision and you're entitled to your own opinion. But now you know the truth about her, and if you keep insisting that she can fix this and won't listen to her, or call her evil, or whatever else that goes directly against what I've just told you, your opinion is an ignorant one and you should stop using the internet until your common sense is stronger than your connection.
Now, here's a concept. Why don't we all stop sitting around trying to blame the one who granted the wish and instead see if we can find a way to undo the wish? Again, without Anya.
