I'm enjoying the confusion. :)Me too! Oh, so much. It's nice to have all this company here, BTW.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.
'First Date'
Atlantic Canadian Monday Madness
[NAFDA] We used to get Buffy the day before everyone else, now we get Angel a week after everyone else. And Firefly every Monday!

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Our wings are not tired.
On the whole I found a lot more to like than dislike. Bottom line, I liked the concepts but not so much the execution. A few too many annoying details.
The Spike drowning business was just plain weird. Drusilla wasn’t herself, but that makes sense. FE Buffy wasn’t herself with Spike either. Guess Dru doesn’t know the lyrics to the song to get Spike to do what she wants.
Loved the Principal Wood and Joyce scenes. Like how they are both being presented as possibly being on either side. Hit all the right notes for me in those scenes.
I found the leaving the question of Giles being dead or alive being left open more blatant. No doubt in my mind that it is a deliberate fake out and he is quite alive. Which of course means he is probably dead.
The heavy handed music has been bothering me for a while and I always hate the preaching scenes. Buffy’s scene at the end was way too much for me.
Agreed on the out of nowhere proto-slayer jumping ship. Sloppy.
Annoyed by the details, but I really liked the arc progression.
Of course I am hours late for the AC discussion, stupid car shopping.

Thanks for all the fish.
Chatty McChattersons, you are.
Megan, I won't be downtown again until Friday 7pm - but if you want the postcards let me know.
Giles didn't touch anyone - Buffy was interrupted by the protoSlayers when she went to hug him. He didn't knock. He didn't carry. He didn't give her a hand up when she was struggling to get out of the pit.
I think that he's dead.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Chatty McChattersons, you are.
That's cause of us mock-Haligonians (who probably can't even spell).
I think that he's dead.
Although, the point was made in the main thread - how did he get across the Atlantic without handing someone a passport or ticket?

Thanks for all the fish.
He's non-corporeal, what does he need with a stinking passport? The CoW sent the girls to Sunnydale (Quentin ordered that before he went all extra-crispy) and 'Giles' met them at the airport.

I totally think he's dead. There is no way that he could have survived that beheading from the Harbringers. The guy was in full swing so unless Giles has a metal head, he was definitely a goner.
then again, I could be totally wrong.

My kittens are on dead but a good guy. Same with Joyce.
Megan E. - Dec 18, 2002 5:25:20 am PST #708 of 6793
I agree. I don't think he's the First Evil. I think the Coven from Devon have helped him manifest on Earth in order to help fight the slight apocolypse.

Elena, I do want some. I'll come see you Friday evening. Did you go see LoTR:TTT last night?

hip deep in pie
I'm standing in the fakeout dead denial corner for now.
