I thought it was a crime that the 99 episode previouslies that appeared at the beginning of
The Gift
weren't on the Season 5 DVD. I know they use little bits of it here and there on the DVD, but that was wonderful, and I'm still terribly disappointed.
I would like the previouslies, because Giles voices them over, and because I don't always watch episodes in order. I'll pick an episode based on my mood. Seems like they could at least include them and rather than a person *having* to see one, s/he could choose it from the menu. Feh.
I'd guess the character was Travers, before the Watcher's Council blew?
I'm pretty sure Travers said something like "We are the masters of our fate...." only to be interrupted by an earthshattering KABOOM.
Is it just me, or does that scene never get old?
It isn't just you, but I seem to remember you have strong Quentin issues.
I'm much more ambivalent about the Watcher's Council and more about the War on Demons (tm) than many, so I see the destruction of the WC as a bad thing. Plus, Harris Yulin has a James Earl Jones-level voice. I hate to see a good antagonist go.
Who Anyaed that episode?
I still laugh over the "Our tweed shall be as steel!" line.
The poem doesn't seem to apply to Oklahoma City so I Googled -- Timothy McVeigh had them read the poem as his final statement before he was executed. So point in favor, Invictus associated with building blowing up, point opposed, Travers was not the one who blew the building up. I dunno.
(You know why I didn't get it, when I heard "minor character" I immediately thought Andrew for some reason, and couldn't think of the building that blew up around him.)
so I see the destruction of the WC as a bad thing.
All those BOOKS! Such a tragic waste.
All those BOOKS!
But Wesley has them all.
Okay, he's dead. But the books still can exist.
Oh, god, he's dead. I'd managed to forget that...

I thought that was going to be an easter egg on S7 DVDs. No?
