good point, Steph.
River: I know you have questions. Mal: That would be why I just asked them.

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.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I think Joss started out with all of the good guys having a very black and white view about vampires and then slowly changed that. Such as vampires can't love, and then we meet Spike and Dru. I don't think any of the "rules" set out in the beginning about the soul or vampire personalities were set in stone.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Now that's a Nelly Furtado song I'd like to hear. What would be the second line? "I can never be buggered at all"?

Hey. New board.
Yeah, I don't think that canon ever really believed that vamps were nothing like their people. Look at Jesse, way back in "The Harvest" - sure, he's sexier and eviller, but he still talks quite a bit like Jesse, goes after Cordelia, and actually talks to Xander before trying to eat him. Also, the scary religious not!Anointed in "How to Kill A Guy on the First Date".
Can you tell I'm in the midst of a S1 rewatch?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yeah, I don't think that canon ever really believed that vamps were nothing like their people.
Early on Joss wanted to make it clear that Buffy wasn't a serial killer, so it was more important to erase the ambiguity of her kills. Later that ambiguity was what interested him.

Made me laugh.

it's not like the Watchers/Slayers/good guys actually got to know any vampires, so of course they would believe the lore.)
Yeah. A lot of what I choose to believe about the fictional cosmology involves ignoring what the characters tell each other, in favor of incorporating stuff we've actually seen happen. I have no problem believing that when Giles or Wesley or Willow or Random Authority says "it's like this" they're wrong. Because hey, it's canonical that they're sometimes wrong.
Especially if they're Wesley.
