I'm totally looking forward to Season 8.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Usually retcons make things worse, but that one makes a full third of the crappiness of "The Girl in Question" vanish as if by magic.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I love not only the retcon, but that the whole Immortal thing in all its spectacular lameness is pinned on Andrew.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I wonder when Joss came up with that idea for the retcon, because it's terribly, terribly funny, and it makes a certain degree of sense. I wonder where Buffy's really based out of?

I cannot agree with the "making sense" part, unless we're supposed to think that Andrew would then deliberately send Angel and Spike to the club the fake-Buffy was at, even though they are presumably the only other people in the country who know the real one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, sending them there does help cement the cover.

Meh. Only because they didn't get a good look, which seems like quite a gamble. Or is a thing where Andrew now has access to Mission Impossible disguises?
