Do you think Darla or Angel ever killed any Slayers?
And were just really mum about it while Spike went on and on? Possible, but... seems unlikely. They probably just didn't care enough to.
Can anyone really explain why Buffy dying in "The Gift" made sense? Other than thematically, I mean.
No. Ded is cool.
What kind of music does Buffy like?
Probably nothing I like. I've always assumed it was girly radio crap. Ooh, she totally has the soundtrack to City of Angels.
Doesn't Spike's duster look . . . too big on him, sometimes?
Yeah, and there's no way Nikki's got bigger shoulders, right?
Do Willow or Tara ever get a job? Do Anya or Xander (or Willow or Tara) ever think to contribute anything to Buffy's money problems? I mean Willow (and Tara, before she moves out) is living in Buffy's house.
These questions, combined, are a large blight on the Sunnydale goings-on. Seriously, it's like they didn't want to address this. Just like Buffy is required to work in fast food; why? Is this, really, the only job she can get? Really? And can she support a household with Doublemeat pay?
Did the Scoobies really not realize Buffy would come back to life in her grave?
I hate these questions, because they're the kind that can't be answered diagetically. It's always "the writer was lazy." And yeah, it's jarring to say that when you're looking inside canon, but what explanation for any of this would make it better?
Does anyone think the way they wrote Giles off the show was in character or well done?
*snort*
How does JM do that thing where he looks at SMG like he worships her with everything in him, without looking like a complete boob? Most people look like boobs when they do that. And not the good kind of boobs.
I'm with you there. His close-ups are some of the best stuff on that show. He emotes like crazy with just one look, and I don't know how he does it, and it's *not* due just to hormones that I'm saying this. The PAIN he can give off is crazy, and I don't know how he does it.
Why doesn't Giles reveal to the council that Buffy died? Isn't he aware that sooner or later everyone will find out? What does he seek to gain by hiding it? (I'm only asking about Giles because presumably you could say the Scoobies kept up the deception of the Buffybot because they thought they were bringing Buffy back anyway).
Good question. Because you'd think someone would be concerned about how Faith is in jail and Buffy's dead and there's no slayer. He probably wanted to keep drawing his pay. Giles is stingy like that.
How come Amber Benson sings so well?
Because, like Tara, she's gorgeous but misused and hidden for great lengths of time. Second time through the series, Tara was a revelation for me.
Why can't Spike decide how to fix his hair? Why can't Anya decide how to fix her hair?
Because the creators can't figure out whether they want us to like either of these characters or not. Make them wishy-washy; then it can go either way.
Random Who raised Bruce Wayne (after his parents died)? If it was Alfred, how did Alfred get custody?
The bats!
Did you guys know Anthony Head is in the new Woody Allen movie (Scoop. I've seen two Woody Allen movies now. The first I despised and this one was really good! I loved Woody Allen in it; he was so endearing!)? Head has 2 lines, but Giles! OMG big-screen Giles!
Didn't know that, haven't seen it yet, but looks great and will do.

TO EAT THEM.
