I still think that a fun Angel episode or bit would have been a demon psychologist. And I mean a psychologist who counsels demons, none of this Tish M'gev business, just a regular office with a receptionist, etc.
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'
'Potential'
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.

but if would be fun seeing them come up with new and interesting explanations.
It's always going to come back to "PCP; gang-related" though.

So if she was being manipulative, it was on the hell dimension argument. And that's possible. Willow should have known that there were a lot of dimensions out there, and not all of them were hell-y (remember the "world without shrimp"?).
I'm no defender of Willow generally, but I can see where they went down this road without thinking it through, on the theory that "sucked into" doesn't imply a happy place. Especially when the whole thing was orchestrated by Glory, and with the examples they had of things coming out of the rift.

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

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
They really did have every reason to think she was in a hell dimension. Because her being in a heaven dimension under the circumstances a universe with a modicum of justice - which under the circustances did not mesh with their experiences.

Depending on how events after NOT FADE AWAY turned out, that could be literally so.

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?
RE: Bones
I've read a couple of Kathy Reichs' books on Temperance Brennan. They're pretty good, so hopefully the show will follow suit.
