Goof seen in: Earshot at 36.48
How was Jonathan going to kill himself with that high-powered rifle considering it was so long and his arms were so short? |

Technically it is possible to shoot oneself with a rifle. However, it is difficult to aim and in all truth getting a shot which is instantly fatal is a tricky matter. Since he is in a public place, if he merely wounded himself he probably wouldn’t die of blood loss before someone found him and rushed him to hospital.
A handgun would have been a much wiser choice. Maybe the rifle was the only thing he could get his little hands on?

Doesn’t he put the scope on as well?? I know that’s all a bluff so we can have the surprising reveal that it’s not Jonathan after all, but the dinner lady, who’s planning on taking everyone out. Still, I find it a bit ludicrous that the only thing he’d be able to find to kill himself would be a high powered rifle. Having said that I do live in a country where guns are actually pretty damn hard to come by…so maybe I’m just unaware of the ubiquity of rifles in the US!

I always kinda wondered if Jonathan was really just planning to kill himself or if he was actually going to kill people at school. We know he’s not treated well and he’s later involved in plots that would harm Buffy. He seems so innocent… I just wonder if he’s a bit darker or in more pain than we are led to believe.

I forgot — also, telling Buffy he was going to kill himself leaves him out of trouble. ^_^

I have a theory: He got the gun, intending on killing everyone at school but at the last second (Possibly only moments before Buffy found him) he decided he would only kill himself. Possible?

I don’t know. I’m quite the Jonathan fan and he seems awfully sincere when he tells Buffy he only intended to kill himself. It’s very subjective though. I’m sure his mother would say the same thing!

Buffy says at the end of the conversation that she could have taken the rifle already, and Jonathan hands it over. Maybe he only does that because he doesn’t want to get beaten up, but he would have gone ahead otherwise!!

I am SO happy you caught that! That is one of the first things I thought of when he said he was going to kill himself. I couldn’t figure out how in the world he was going to manage that with that really long gun. My sister kept looking at me like I was ridiculous for thinking so hard about it. So now I know I’m not alone. :-)
