Halo 5's conflict isn't actually an example of a Conflict Ball.


->''"The crimes for which Mister Chuffy is being hunted are so ''[[ArmchairMilitary completely fucking weak]]'' that the two parties can barely summon the effort to be cross at each other when they ''do'' meet; two of them have a token punch up about midway through that is more the air of two blind people trying to politely get past each other in a crowded restaurant."''

->''"Spock's hesitance and attempts to calm the Captain down seem rather awkward given his rather hawkish nature in 'The Balance of Terror'. It seems that Mr. Spock is given a different opinion in this episode is [sic] just for the narrative purpose of vocalizing the episode's current moral."''

->''"The final scene where all of Buffy’s friends, family and the Potentials turn on her and eject her from her own home is memorable for [[CharacterDerailment all the wrong reasons]]...and it immediately becomes clear that Buffy was a necessary evil in charge because the girls are suddenly at loggerheads as the Summers household becomes a democracy where everybody has a say."''

->''"The final scene where all of Buffy’s friends, family and the Potentials turn on her and eject her from her own home is memorable for all the wrong reasons. It’s one of those conversations that starts out rationally and winds up spiraling out of all control. Faith’s reaction is understandable since she and Buffy have always had [[RedOniBlueOni a clash of ideologies]], and Buffy’s current relationship with Giles means that his dismissal of her plan is also reasonable, if seeming a little petty. The Potentials have often been portrayed as a selfish bunch of girls so let’s not give too much of a damn for their input. It is when it comes to Willow, Dawn and Xander where I completely lost the plot. How these three could betray Buffy in such an underhanded way angered me so much on my original viewing, and might well explained why I have never watched this episode since. It’s [[CharacterDerailment obscene characterisation]], betraying the sense of family that they have built up and turning their backs on the one person who can get them through this mess...and it immediately becomes clear that Buffy was a necessary evil in charge because the girls are suddenly at loggerheads as the Summers household becomes a democracy where everybody has a say."''

Just typing these words is stressing me out... It feels like the work of a writer who truly misunderstands these characters and it is doubly unfortunate that such a blemish should appear so close to the shows end. Dawn asking Buffy to leave might just be the nadir for the entire show, the point where I thought [[CharacterDerailment the writers might just have gone mad.]]"''
