Well, her saying "William?" was kind of a nod in the ep.
'Out Of Gas'
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.
I remember writing a quick Spike/Halfrek fic between the week before Hellps Bells. Now where is that?
Here it is! Shriftweb to the rescue...
Is Doublemeat Palace the one where RIley comes back and Buffy says "I have a cow on my head"? Because that was pretty funny.
That was As You Were.
Spike said "Cecily?" as a throw away line. Not a plot point, but canon. Fan service.
OMG DO NOT EVEN GET ME STARTED.
OMG DO NOT EVEN GET ME STARTED.
This made you unhappy? I thought it was rather fun.
she said not to get her started and there you go. :-)
I hated it with the burning hatred of a thousand suns. I did not like the sacrificing of story to fanwankery and wink wink nudge nudge. Are there not approximately a zillion actresses that could have played Halfrek or Cecily?
(you can probably find this more deeply bitched about by me during the actual season airing)
The same actor who played the crazy-pills vamp in "Helpless" played magic-isn't-a-drug-no-really pusher Rack in S6.
And while I know trying to reconcile those 2 characters would have been harder than reconciling Cecily and Halfrek, it probably could have been done -- but it wasn't. Because it didn't have to. Much like Cecily and Halfrek.
Which is to say, I agree with Nora.
t edit Actually, didn't the actor who played Andrew also play one of Harmony's minions in S4?
Harmony? Has minions?!?!??!?
