She experience pure happiness and had it yanked from her. The happiness of Heaven isn't something that can even compare to emotions while on Earth. It's a pretty common theme for religious experience - in the presence of a God or Heaven or anything like that, to be so filled with warmth and happiness that when you leave you feel bereft and empty. That was the point.

Besides that, depression isn't really logical. You can't just point out the good things and magically be 'fixed'. You can acknowledge all the good and perfect things in your life and still feel empty and depressed.

And you know, way before the whole death thing they had ramped up Buffy being exhausted and depressed and tired of a life of war. So the fact that she finally got to 'rest' and found that happiness only to be yanked right back into a life of battle, yeah I can see how someone would be pretty upset and not grateful to the people who brought her back.

THIIIISSSSS

ugh. I get so defensive of s6!Buffy.

Probably because it's a little too close to home for me.

Kinda like heroin really.

Oh man, if they had used Heaven as their weird anti-drug storyline instead of Willow's magic that would have been amazing.

[bringreligiontothewamwams]

I just assumed it was meant to parallel that storyline, but they screwed up the execution. Probably lost their bottle because of the (un)holy hell the moral guardians would have raised with the network if they'd came straight out and said "look heaven, opiate of the masses just like whatshisname said...".

OTOH, Jasmine in Angel was pretty much that, showing up on TV and talking about how she just wanted people to accept her love.

(I'm not saying that's what I think, I'm a Christian, but my fellow Christians can be that crazy.)

True, but Angel never received quite the same level of public awareness that Buffy did. BuffytVS made a huge dent in the general tv viewership, Angel was strictly genre viewing so it would have benefited from a little controversy if someone had noticed it. The Jasmine thing, with her being just a mild twist on the standard freak of the week, was less blatant than Buffy's "ripped out of heaven itself" schtick too don't forget.
