What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, that assumtption is hard to avoid, because Illyria pretty much told him he was dead man walking when he showed up.

Well, Amy Acker said at a con a couple weeks ago that if there had been another season, Gunn would have been a vampire, and he would end up staking himself.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, no, he's not back in that era. He's just back in that alleyway, right now. Or right last year. Anyhow, not back then, just back there.

Oh, no, he's not back in that era. He's just back in that alleyway, right now. Or right last year. Anyhow, not back then, just back there.

Ah, OK. That's OK then. That's actually a scenario I could live with.

Yeah, I almost thought the same as Frank, but got it from the "neighborhood's changed" comment.

Didn't we have this conversation before, when the Angel comic Whedon did was announced? Because that was set after Not Fade Away. Wasn't it? Am I having deja vu or just making things up? It's so hard to tell the difference.

Aha. I am making things up. Well, a little bit. Whedon wasn't as involved in the post-show Angel comics as I thought. But it sounds like he blessed them to some degree.

And judging by a summary everyone is still alive in them. Including Wesley. Without any explanation. Which amuses me.

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

Interesting. AD thought Wesley was dead.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

In the "Lord knows what this is relevant too" department, I noticed a while back that the Wikipedia entried for Gunn, Spike and Illyria explicitly state they survived. The Angel entry also says he survived, but that it's "not considered canonical." The Wesley entry says he died. Of course, the source is HIGHLY unreliable. I've not read the comics, so I have no idea if that's what happened.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Hmm. That's quite a disregard for continuity on Joss' part. He could go work for D.C.
