Questions Post #11

[lettered]

I have another batch of random questions.


General
Do you think Spike ever turned anybody?
Do you think Drusilla ever turned anyone except Spike?
Do you think Darla or Angel ever killed any Slayers?
Where did Gunn live in S2 of AtS?
Can anyone really explain why Buffy dying in "The Gift" made sense? Other than thematically, I mean.
What kind of music does Buffy like?
Doesn't Spike's duster look . . . too big on him, sometimes?
How come Angel's demon form can go out in the sunlight in Pylea? Wesley's explanation for Angel's human form withstanding sunlight is that the human aspects, like seeing his reflection etc are stronger, but then in demon form, shouldn't they be demon-y?
Is Pylea an alternate reality, like a world without shrimp? Or is it an alternate dimension? Is there a difference? Is there anything meta-cle about these terms and what they signify in Jossverse?

Season 6 of BtVS
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.
Did the Scoobies really not realize Buffy would come back to life in her grave?
Does anyone think the way they wrote Giles off the show was in character or well done?
Is it just me or do random references to Angel seem to increase in this season?
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.
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).
How come Amber Benson sings so well?
Why can't Spike decide how to fix his hair? Why can't Anya decide how to fix her hair?

Random
Who raised Bruce Wayne (after his parents died)? If it was Alfred, how did Alfred get custody?
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!
Why do ants bear away their dead brethren?

You ponder the best stuff. I now have the urge to sit down and try and answer each and every single one of these. Even the rhetorial ones when you know that it's time to put the already answered question down and back away with it with your hands up.

I think with some of the things that were left hanging or didn't make sense the writers were busy brainstorming them and decided to go out for coffee, started talking about their action figure collections and came back forgetting what they were stuck on and just continued writing the next scene.

Big screen Giles?! I had no idea!

I agree, and that answers a lot of questions. I guess what I'm interested with that type of stuff is how to fanwank it so I feel better. I mean, for any question you can say, "because that's how the writers wrote it, for good or ill"--but once you're inside the 'verse and playing with it that's kind of jarring to hear. Kind of like how some people are so shocked to hear that even if they DID write it that way, Spike is actually not a girl and Xander's penis is magical but not rainbow colored; it's like the real world intruding and making itself known and we can't have that in our rainbow penis universe; in fact I'm going to get riled up at you for applying logic and sense; how can you say such mean things to me when I've never done anything to you except accuse your extended family of catporn that one time?

Yeah, big screen Giles! For perhaps two minutes. I almost peed my pants it was so exciting.
