Oooh lots of fun and interesting questions! Thanks for asking! Since a lot have been answered very comprehensively, I'll just try some of them.
Why do they put people on boxes? I like the height differences. Now all I can think about are the boxes. It's much easier to frame a shot when the people are closer to the same height, especially if they're kissing. I do like when we get to see the height differences in other scenes. Oh, and they do this kind of thing in movies all the time. I bet that Tom Cruise stands on boxes. And I've heard - if I'm recalling it correctly - that in a Mel Gibson movie, they had someone else walking in a trench beside Mel so they'd look shorter than him.
What is "O.o" supposed to represent? I'm glad you asked because I didn't know either! :)
When do you think Cordelia went evil? When wasn't she evil?! hee /channeling Xander pre-dating Cordy.
When was the first moment you knew you really liked Cordelia as a character? In Homecoming when she just intimidates the vampire. Oh, I did a couple of posts a while back about when I fell in love with the characters on BtVS (http://cordelianne.livejournal.com/31787.html) and AtS (http://cordelianne.livejournal.com/32095.html).
Did Flutie getting eaten shock you? It impressed me. I like when shows will take those risks.
Are Potentials of a certain age? When Willow makes them all Slayers, does she activate little girls who would be, and old women who would've been? Or just gals of a certain age? There's already been some interesting answers already. In addition, I theorize that it might be all ages. In the montage when the spell's happening we see that young girl baseball player, and I've always thought that she's activated.
Do you think W&H's/Vail's spell to give Connor a life gets broken when Vail dies/Angel reneges on his deal to "work for" W&H? I assume that the spell sticks. I'm not sure why, I just do.
Why do you think they decided to make Drusilla Spike's Sire? Because they were exploring Spike's romantic life and how he's been shaped by the women he's been involved with (all "his women" are in this episode: Cecily, Dru, Harmony, Buffy). Drusilla siring him is a nice metaphor for her directing him on a different path, which he doesn't really alter from until he meets Buffy. Dru was such an influence on him, it makes some sense that she'd have sired him.
Obviously it contradicts what Spike says to Angel in School Hard. But, I'd say that Angel was more influential in shaping William into Spike/William the Bloody, which we see him doing in FFL and then in Destiny (so he sired him in that respect - so Spike's more literal about the Yoda part than the siring in School Hard), whereas Dru influenced his approach to women. And I don't think this negates Angel and Spike getting it on!!
