Why do they put people on boxes? I like the height differences. Now all I can think about are the boxes.
Because it's easier to frame the shot if your actors are close in height. If there's too much height difference, you have to widen the camera angle in order to get both faces inside the frame, and you end up with a lot of empty wall space in the background. When both actors are the same height, you can zoom in tight so all you can see is the faces (a la the "Caveman vs. Astronauts" argument).
When do you think Cordelia went evil?
As soon as she got her memory back in "Spin the Bottle." Definitely before she had sex with Connor. :P
When was the first moment you knew you really liked Cordelia as a character?
"Excuse me, I have to call *everyone* I have *ever* known." -- "Welcome to the Hellmouth"
Do you like Buffy's look in S1?
I've never liked Buffy's look, ever. I'm one of those weirdos who think that SMG is not really all that hot. But according to one of those face-profiling web sites, SMG is the celebrity I most resemble, so I probably shouldn't be too critical of her. *g*
Was there actually a plan for a plot with the Annoying One or was he just set up and then they couldn't figure out what to do with him?
Most likely the latter.
Does anyone know if there were ever any ideas expressed by anyone re: what S6 of AtS may've been if they'd gotten a chance to do it, and if so is there a link to the conversation/whatever it was? Because I'm morbidly curious.
Both DB and JM have said that they would have loved to have seen the Angel/Spike dynamic explored more fully in s6. DB's words were, "They have such a history and such great chemistry together." Bestill my heart!!! I can't find the link, though, sorry.
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?
Slayers are always called as teenagers. It was never discussed in canon, but I've seen several fanon arguments that menstruation is tied with Slayerhood.
What happens when all those activated Slayers die? Is it back to one Slayer dies and another one is called?
My take is that potential Slayers will continue to be born, and will continue to be called when they reach puberty.
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?
Not in my fic. *g*
Why do you think they decided to make Drusilla Spike's Sire?
To piss us off? I think it fit better into the "Fool for Love" backstory, which in turn fit better into Spike's Season 5 arc. Trying to convince us that Spike was a "fool for love" over Angelus would have been too much of a stretch.

Great questions, as always! :)
