Plot devices

Joss Whedon admits that computers came to function as a “shameless” plot mechanism on Buffy. Willow is able to hack into just about any website or database and acquire any information the narrative might require. To sell the show to the WB, Joss came up with the idea of the Hellmouth. He admits it became a handy shortcut way of explaining the inexplicable.
