Damnit, and I just only now (after airing) read this thread!
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay Kristen!
Excellent premiere! Argh for having to wait until next week for more (and for being in the same time slot as Grimm and Raising Hope - such different shows but I want to watch all of them, damn it). I particularly love the Big Board of Crazy, and that it is on a plane, I think.
FBI guy totally took me by surprise.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Kristen!
OK, so watching this last AHS, I literally had the thought, "Of all the things that have happened to poor Kyle, having all of his friends' bad tattoos on his new body is...one of them."

All Kyle's late friends/parts donors must have been remarkably similar in build, skin tone, body hair, etc.

Handwave, handwave.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you can come back from the dead, adjusting body parts is kid's play, non?

One would think, but physical changes/healing seem to be harder to manage than restoring life in the first place. Hence Fiona resurrecting two people from the dead without need for rituals but not being able to restore her daughter's sight.

But the key thing is--since they showed it's possible, it's possible. And since they've shown the impossible possible, it doesn't take my credulity for a workout. If that's what's required to animate him, and he's animated, then that seems to have been what happened. It's not like it's the first time--that bull's head fit very nicely, didn't it?

I thought that Fiona's sight could not be restored for supernatural reasons. But I am hand waving.
