I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Heh. I was calculating Buffy's age using difference [wrong] assumptions and ALSO coming up with 26. Hooray for the cancellation of errors.

What is even happening?

I don't think Dawn was starting her freshman year at the beginning of season 7. It was the first year of the rebuilt Sunnydale High, but I don't think it was her first year of high school, because there were comment (in text) about having been at another district's school in the years that Sunnydale was without a high school. I don't know if they referred to her grade in season 5. I think though, that she was probably a sophmore in season 7.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

She had to be a sophomore, cause Season 6 Buffybot was being prepped to get through the Back to School P/T Day. And it was for freshman year.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Also, I have to wonder what Willow is doing, and where the hell the Slayers got the money for a CASTLE and a HELICOPTER and global sat uplinks?!

The Watchers Council got blowed up, but their bank accounts didn't.

Or, the answer to one question is the answer to the other.

Re: Buffy's age.

It's almost too bad the Council did get blowed up real good. I would have loved to see Quentin Travers' face when she hit her twenty-somethingth birthday.

"She's...how old? Really? Well, Rupert that's..."

"I know. I am The Man, as they say."

I'm thinking his brain would have already exploded due to the dozens (hundreds?) of slayers running around unfettered and unWatched.

Giles wouldn't have said that. He totally would have said, "I know. I am, as they say, The Man."
