Volfram ees your friend. Volfram vill not bite you un trow you un de basement.

You wanna take that to Previously? Becuase I'd love to chew over W&H with you, but this isn't the place.

Okay. I assume Previously is for Angel as well, b/c the description says Buffy.

goes to look

It does say Buffy, but I'd always assumed that it was for Angel as well. I guess that because there's not a spoiler issue so much, it doesn't matter...

I'd ask for a 'Core Buffista opinion', but that would make people jumpy again. Um... other people's opinions? I think 'what's the thread for' is still bear buae ber Like Kafka.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Yeah, it is. I imagine it'll be for Firefly too, eventually. All Joss, all the time, as long as its not the current season.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Previously got started when FX in the US started running past seasons of Buffy, so a lot of people were re-watching the same old Buffy eps. As long as it's been broadcast everywhere it's going to be broadcast, I'd guess we're all right.

Lyra, you left out my other bit, about "Are there any other alternate universes I should know about?".

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I did a quick read through and my only initial correction is this:

Q: Who is the Ripper?
A: Giles, when he was young and wild and into some serious black magic. The nickname (probably a variation of "Rupert") was revealed by Ethan Rayne in "The Dark Age" (S2). The quintessential latter-day Ripper act is probably killing Ben in "The Gift."

It was revealed by Ethan during "Halloween." Also, many here have argued that by having Giles put his glasses on before killing Ben, the writers were effectively saying "This is not Ripper!Giles."

And I'd say "Ripper" not "the Ripper."

Is it important to mention that Joyce called him Ripper throughout Band Candy?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks, Lyra Jane.
