You realize that Buffy #4 gave a very strong indication of who kissed Buffy to wake her up, right?
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Steph, are you thinking Willow ?
I hadn't really thought about it, but that's probably right. Not sure I want to comtemplate the implications, though.

Yes! I was the only one in my group of 4 reading together who caught that. Do you think it's misdirection.
And, if it is that slayerette who is in love with Buffy, is that why Buffy picked her for the mission? Not that she knows but that she is feeling some kind of link? Otherwise, aside from the hair appreciation, why THAT slayer out of all of them?

Not Willow. The Slayer she took with her to save Willow. From whom she borrowed cinammon scented lip gloss.

Frankenbuddha -- no.
lisah -- yes. Though I think it's open to misdirection as well.

Art Crawl!!!
But - (and I need to go back to check the veracity of this) that slayerette wasn't in the room at the time.

Ah, see I totally missed that.
I was thinking Willow because Buffy had some of her power. Although I seem to recall that happened during the run of Buffy at one point, which is why it didn't ping me while I was reading it.

Sumi, I totally disremember that. Well, I don't remember it one way or the other. It was just that Buffy saying "Cinnamon" was so obviously meant to point to something, and not just be random WhedonBuffyspeak.

I really need to go back and reread the earlier issues. There seems to be a lot in this issue that harks back, especially to fragments of Buffy's dreamscape. When Willow-in-Buffy showed Amy her mother, I thought I remembered someone pointing Mrs. Madison and/or the little stautette that was her prison out at the time.
But, damn, there's always so much in every issue. Even if I read as slowly as possible, I have to go back and read it again after I come in here and see how much I missed.
Also, the letters column gets some whackos, big time.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Whackos. Word. Seriously, who spends that much time and angst on something they don't care for?
