Shit's all sorts of different now.

What is it with you people and monkeys?

Nothing. Some of us prefer camels.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"Penguins and camels and apes, oh my..."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Content comments:

The line of succession is now understood to run through Faith. No new slayer will be called until she dies

I think it should be stated that it's not been said onscreen, but rather only in interviews.

Also, was it stated that the kittens were food?

And, while I'm here: What does a soul mean? Does Lorne have a soul? For that I'd just quote Joss's "tendency to good, tendency to evil" statement and say that it leaves a lot open to debate and neverending argument.

Oh, look at me with the late ideas -- "Why doesn't Willow use a Star of David against vampires?"

Done.

Darned if I know.

I go to bed now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Not stated explicitly. But it was implied that the kittens came to harm. Also that kittens were valuable and cats weren't.

And maybe a link to Cindy's essay on the subject.

The shooting script has one of the demons saying "they are delicious". I haven't seen the episode itself, so I don't know if it made it into the final cut.

You don't need to tenderize them nearly so much.
