Alternate dimension, one with different basic properties from our own. Don't think Joss ever cared to even define the terms in regards to Buffy.
What I don't like is stuff like Pylea is just kind of there. In something like Stargate, alternate dimensions are integral to the 'verse. In Buffyverse, there's all this alternate world stuff without there being any even half-assed attempt to explain their relation to Earth, reality, and now. I'd even be happier if the attempt was made and it didn't make sense.
Yes, they don't really think about it. Because they're characters and there was a need to maximize trauma to Buffy. :)
Figured that was the reason.
You I think.
No way. Definitely not I. I doubt even the writers thought it was a decent explanation, which is why I don't understand why they didn't think of something better.
Hum, because they'd kill or release Faith?
I thought about that, but as I said, the truth would come out sooner or later. Buffy is DEAD; Giles doesn't think that's going to unhappen. If he's worried about the consequences with Faith, why isn't he trying to work out a solution?
Something meta about how those characters can't decide what they want to be,
I rather like that insight as regards Spike.
It's Gotham, he greased someone's palm to get custody!
I suppose the Waynes could've left Alfred a lot of money.
