Willow ,'Beneath You'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
Wasn't one of the tales Drusilla's 1997 trauma in Prague? If the little girl is Giles' grandmother, she must hitch a ride with Mr. Peabody and his Wayback Machine at some point.
I thought of this point after posting my original supposition, but I decided to stick with it. Maybe it is that the Tales that we see have no bearing on the framing story. (FWIW, Joss' story illustrated by Cameron Stewart included Lord of the Rings movie references).
The vampire in the Tales framing story made it clear that some of the stories hadn't happened yet. How this is has yet to be revealed.
Just read this week's ToV.
Bwah-hhhahhh-hhhahh!
Drew Goddard's Dracula story is riot! Must read. Everyone must go out and get it now!
Is the new 1602 out today?
Yeah, that too.
But read the Tales of the Vampire first...
As for 1602, I was very, very surprised by a lot of things. They killed off Dr. Strange! It was very Minearish, IMO. I was not quite as surprised by what happened to Jean.
The ending, on the other hand, was one of the best examples of HSQ that didn't involve blood and/or pain. That was probably the last character I expected to be other than what he seemed.
The only thing that felt a little off to me was the bit with Reed Richards talking about stories. Although it was neat in and of itself, it was too obviously Gaiman being Gaiman.
Anne is me in all things. Do you think Jean is really dead or did she become Phoenix? I can't decide.
I'm thinking really dead, simply because it would actually be a bit of a twist.
I am sooooo behind on 1602.
I don't know -- they did say "ashes." I didn't see her death coming, and I realise that I really should have, because protecting shipmates and dying doing so is how it went down the first time.
