I concur. I think I like the humor of this arc but not so much more. I love the bit at the end where Xander tells Drac to stop calling him manservant. Could Xander be becoming a little more hard like Wesley did?

Is Dracula the new Spike? I mean why is it OK for Drac to be alive and kicking (so to speak - dead and kicking?)? I guess once you've financed your operation with stolen loot, lots of things start to slide.
I mean, I'm cool with it, because I really enjoyed the arc of this, but I'm wondering what it means to be an evil evil vampire now.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, I had the same thought, Frank.

Wait, I thought that was just a hypothetical future vision thing.

I've never been 100% clear on whether those visions were things that had happened that they didn't want anyone else to know or things that might.

They've referred to the stolen loot in another issue after the one in which it was introduced. I just can't remember which one. And now that the current issue also showed the green snake/serpent goddess/demon/whatever that we saw with Willow in the "stolen loot" issue, I'm think the fact that both scenarios were referred to in subsequent issues means that they were really real, not potentially real.

I've always suspected that the heist was the issue that drove Giles and Buffy apart. They've never said that, but I could see him having a serious objection to that sort of thing.

Yeah, someone asked where the money came from, and Buffy said that some donors preferred to remain anonymous. Huh, that issue was so confusing to me. I still don't understand what "betrayal" Willow was talking about at the end. She was just talking about bringing Buffy back from heaven. We went through that already.

Uh, not that I don't believe you, but are you sure the first one is really for Buffy? Maybe the web site got it wrong. It doesn't look related at all. Like, AT ALL.
