Xander/Buffy ,'Help'
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
About the only worthwhile thing from the movie Playing God with David Duchovney is his narration line in the beginning about how "on a good day, Hell can look a lot like Los Angeles."
I live here, I don't want to live anywhere else, and I think LA/California = Hell jokes are funny as hell.
'Cuz they're true.
(Narrator - I think you have to write me a revisionist fic - and could the final spell actually be the enjoining spell and not some random-wordless thing, that focused too much camera time on Kennedy.)
Fine, revise away. Kennedy should have been downstairs with the rest of the cannon fodder, anyway. (Also, that would be a nice connection to the Season 4 battle that defeated Adam.)
You do it, Narrator. I already have a book sized outline for mine. It's scary (although I have half of the stuff we've talked as reason for writing - I'm not revising the past in it, though).
Apropos of nothing, Four Star Mary's, Pain is still a good song.
And they could have resolved it by Dawn insisting that the amulet was for her – that she has a soul but isn’t (entirely) human. Then Buffy would have had to choose between Dawn and Spike. And she could then not choose Dawn.
This would have rocked.
Eggs and bacon:
Cindy, your tagline ("Close your eyes.") reminded me of something. At the end of S2, doesn't Buffy tell Angel to do exactly that before she skewers him and sends him on his way to Hell?
Spike, on the other hand, goes out with the following line: "I want to see how it ends."
Neat contrast.

Other than that, I gots nothing.
My fav seasons: 2, 1, 3, 6, 7, 5, 4.
S2 was a great test of the Slayer, especially because she committed two terrible errors at critical points -- the first, of commission (sex with Angel) and the second of omission (refusing to kill Angelus when she had the chance in the mall).
Plus, as Whedon had more episodes to expand on, the Scoobies solidified themselves as a unit. S1 was too short for the kind of interactions we saw in S2.
As I am big into the themes of redemption, S2 was about first the folly, then the redemption of the Slayer. The act of contrition was sending Angel to the hell dimension.
Oh, one other thing I was going to ask. At exactly 8:30 EST Tuesday night, halfway through the finale -- Buffy and Spike come face to face, from a distance and then there's a quick fadeout. What do you guys think happened "off-camera?"
The name of the girl playing the potential Slayer at bat is "Demetra Raven" in the credits.
