Oh, word. Characters overlooking this detail makes me crazy. I mean, Spike spelled that out in Buffy Season 2 what, ten years ago?
I can kind of understand characters lacking the physical or moral courage to charge right in instead of huddling in a corner waiting to die, and I symphatize with those who want to take action and save the world but are not quite sure how to do it (doesn't that describe most of us?), but how hard is it to understand that you're part of the world?
