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.
I'm sure ME doesn't have a Victorian social historian on tap to fine tune the props.
Nah, that's what we're for, to postulate an entire family history from the placement of a single prop. Still, they could have made it a cozy little Victorian parlor; instead, they gave a space that seems quite large. Sure, easier to maneuver a camera, but fun to speculate on.
I just found a great bit of continuity that I didn't notice before. Watching Doppelgangland -- great for many reasons, not just the scene where Devon complains to Oz that they need a roadie, and Oz replies that they only know three chords, and proper professional bands sometimes know six or even seven totally different chords.
Anyway when vamp!Willow visits the Bronze the second time, she moves in on an innocent girl called Sandy. Now it is exactly the same Sandy who Riley flirts with, lets bite him and stakes in season 5. Did everyone else notice this, or am I just really slow?

Kassto -- haven't seen that ep but will look for it when I do. Lurrrve the continuity, I does...
I like to think that Cecily ended up as Halfrek b/c one of the clods who abused William at that party got with her and then cheated on her...I probably like to think this b/c more than once I've been "William" to a girl's "Cecily"; I love the idea of the guy who she thought was Mr. Right cheating on her and her becoming a demon while the dorky guy she could've had becomes a badass vampire who saves the world...that's all from the "overidentifying rants" for now...oh, and Amanda rules! Why'd they kill her instead of annoying Rona and bland Vi...well, we didn't get total confirmation that she was dead.

It was noticed on the boards at the time of the episode, Kassto.
Anya points out in OaFA that Halfrek has "coughDaddyIssuescough". It appears that Halfrek's vengence is directed at "helping" children. If Cecily and Halfrek are the same person (rather than just being characters played by the same actress), Cecily's issues wrt William culd be rooted in bad parenting. Maybe her own father was a bad poet and layabout and lost the family fortune (at some point in the past).

or maybe she got pregnant?

So, you figure ME just didn't know when the Crimean War was? (Not that I doubt that, you understand -- chronology's never been their strong suit -- just asking.)
On Cecily and Halfrek-I just thought that was a meta joke for Buffy fans because they used the same actress.
They had Halfrek address Spike as William once. The whole thing I find majorly annoying. Why put it there if you're not going anywhere with it? Why use the same actess and pretend we won't recognize her. Contrast this situation with the lovely continutity of Chanterelle/Lily/Anne or even Vamp Sandy.
