Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Buffy ,'Sleeper'


Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

What is even happening?

Angel went to Hell, but he didn't die. He got sucked into Hell. Buffy went to Hell with Lily/Anne, but she didn't die to get there. Was that place Skip guarded, where that Billy character was a Hell?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Angel, Billy

Angel was already dead when he went to hell.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Still, dying wasn't what got him to hell. His animation status was unchanged.

I recall a lot of use of the words "hell dimension", I thought they were trying to shy away from the use of the christian "heaven" and "hell"

Up with the sun

In a Christian universe, Anya goes to purgatory. That's the place for righteous unbelievers, right?

If it's binary -- heaven or hell -- I think it's hell because she never repented, which makes me sad.

Isn't purgatory only what Catholics believe?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Yep. No Purgatory in the Protestant 'verse. Not sure about the Eastern Orthodox churches, though.
