Steph, on the Angel # 5 question, I think once they get back to this storyline they will answer it, but my guess is the sickness Spike's been referring to re Illyria is bits of Fred leaking back in.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I thought that maybe because LA was in Hell (or some sort of hellish dimension), that Illyria was no longer inhabiting Fred's body, much like the way Angel is apparently not a freaking vampire any more (and what the HELL is up with that?!?).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Legion series looks dead, though.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yeah, I'd heard that. That sucks.

I had no problem with Willow asking Satsu for details. She used to ask Buffy for details about all her "smoochies" when she was dating in high school. Willow has a bit of a voyeuristic streak. Remember the "everyone's getting spanked except me?" Plus, who could not love her asking Satusu if Buffy squealed the "shoe-sale noise?" I laughed until I cried.
Angel #5 has me confused, too. How could Connor know Angel was his dad without it being him remembering it that way? I got the impression, too, that Home brought that all back for him. I hope with get further explanation of that.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Sumi,
Considering the "Scythe" was one of the main components of the "make every potential a Slayer" spell it makes sense it could also be used to reverse said spell.
I enjoyed Buffy #13 and Willow didn't seem out of character to me at all. And I was highly amused by the "shoe sale squeal".
Didn't realize Angel #6 was out. I only get my pulls every couple weeks and I had #5 in there, but no #6. Really, I'm not enjoying the series too much so far, but I can't cancel the pull until my gf catches up on them and decides if she wants to keep reading. I think there's a lot of good ideas, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Plus, as others have said, the art leaves a lot to be desired.
But when my favorite character is a psychic fish we only see for a couple pages, that doesn't say a lot for the people involved.

To my way of thinking, it's reasonable that magic wielding vampires with the focus/talisman of Willow's big spell from "Chosen" in hand would be able to reverse it piecemeal. I don't think that Buffy or Faith would be vulnerable to such measures though, as they were already called individually before that spell was cast .
