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.

Spike said "Cecily?" as a throw away line. Not a plot point, but canon. Fan service.
OMG DO NOT EVEN GET ME STARTED.

This made you unhappy? I thought it was rather fun.

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)

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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?

I always assumed that Cecily had become a vengeance demon at some point after she knew William, which I thought was a nice thought because she must have been spurned the way she spurned Spike. I just use the word spurned in a sentence, twice.
Was Halfrek meant to be older than that and thus my theory doesn't work?

I don't remember, but we know she was one by the time of the Russian Revolution from the Anya episode of season 7. I'm trying to remember if we were supposed to get a feeling that she was learning the ropes from Anya or if she'd been around for a while.

Fair 'nuff, Nora. I can see your point!

I thought that too. But maybe I was reading in things that weren't there.
