BTW, I was surprised at the length of the list of recycled actors once you get going at figuring out who has been recycled....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

New Comic and Pie Day!

I think that Faith is going to be able to pull this off. But she's going to be tempted. Bonding with another slayer who wants to kill Buffy. Tough choices are ahead. I also think they're dragging Giant!Dawn's story out too long. It's getting annoying.

Cashmere, I hope you are right that Faith can pull this off. Because I'd hate for her to have worked so hard towards her redemption only to give in to the dark side again. I suspect those thoughts about her meeting, bonding and falling out with Buffy are foreshadowing on how things are going to play with...I've spaced on English!Psycho!Slayer's name.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I too am annoyed by the dragging out of Giant!Dawn. I think we've waited long enough to find out what the heck a thricewise is. I've been embroiled in the Whedonverse for too long to think that I can predict any outcome. I wouldn't be surprised if Faith doesn't live through this though.

Did we know this?
Drawn & Quarterly publisher Chris Oliveros will publish What It Is, acclaimed cartoonist Lynda Barry's first new book since 2002, in early 2008. D&Q will also republish her five-volume backlist of comic strip collections in newly redesigned editions. The multiyear deal is for world rights and was negotiated by agent Liz Darshanoff.
That means all of her out-of-print early stuff will be republished in its original format. That's great news.

Just picked up my Buffy comic at lunch. I totally agree that we need some movement on the Dawn story -- and for her to actually TELL somebody what happened. She seems to be indicating that it wasn't the Thricewise's fault. I also hope that Faith is successful but seriously, was the plan really for Faith to kill the slayer with a stake? In the receiving line ? Why didn't Giles tell her it was a suicide mission !
