ponders Frank's scenario
ponders the angsty consequences thereof
marries Frank and has his babies, or possibly just eats his spicy brains
It's a real burden being right so often.

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

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Riley would have made a better Glory host than Ben
I love this idea with an unholy love. All the pain and angst that it would entail? Delicious.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Riley would have made a better Glory host than Ben
But wouldn't that have meant he'd have been Glory all through S4 as well?

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

Suppressed due to the serum, according to this framing.

wonders if JZs post means I'm going to have to duel Hec?
doesn't care
Seriously, though, when there was talk that Xander was originally to be the Glory host (and talk about resulting angst - that would have taken some cojones on ME's part), it pinged me how that would have been a great way to get Riley out of the show. You could even have broken them up, but had Riley stay around town, lurking in a Spikely fashion (which could have provided amusement - duelling stalkers!).
Even the big "who is Glory" reveal could be fun - you still have Ben around, and red-herring the hell out him (show Glory changing into "unknown guy" at some point), have the scene with him and Dawn at the hospital, have Riley come to pick up Dawn and then do the reveal (and off Ben, or at least crazy him up, in the process). It even makes sense that Buffy would call Riley in SPIRAL if she didn't know he was also Glory.
When to bring in Dawn is the big sticking point (yeah, I know, NEVER) in terms of how the season played out as aired vs. the above.
eta could I possibly have used the word "even" more in one post?
even even even even even

Okay, who is opening up their PayPal account for our collection to fund Frank to completely re-do season 5? Most of the cast must be available.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Victor, I am so sorry about your ferret. Spleen? A friend of mine in Oregon rescues ferrets. She has a fluctuating number of them. She is always looking for -good- homes for her babies. She knows people all over the USA.
Thanks. I'm not sure you're if you're asking if I want to take in another here, but the answer is, "not right away." We're a little tuckered out, nd just want to spend time seeing to Ludo (the youngest).

Watched a good chunk of Season 4 last night. Pretty much everything from Something Blue" to "Who Are You?" I'd completely forgotten how good the Faith story was.
