I'm glad that I'm not the only person who thinks Riley's not all that bad.
I didn't like him at first (altho I thought he was cute, his character was
just...blah), but now he's grown on me. He shouldn't have pushed Willow,
but it wasn't like he was his normal self and pushed her for no reason. At
that moment, every thought in his stressed-out mind was focused on getting
to the Initiative. I did feel sory for him when Adam said all the stuff
about Maggie "molding" Riley. Whomever said something on here about Riley
losing a sense of self right there was dead on, I think. He's really got
some thinking to do now - and I do think he'll apologize sincerely to
Willow, and she'll most likely forgive him.

Maybe Riley being away for a little while is what Willow and Buffy need to
get their friendship back on track, hm?
