Questions Post #11
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?

Since the Urn of Whatever (I forget the real name) was broken in the middle of the ceremony I definitely think they all thought it wasn't going to work. But I do know that they didn't bring shovels, or at least we didn't see them bring shovels to the party. So I can't answer whether they gave enough thought to this question.

I don't follow a lot of information about the actors, especially JM because he does kind of squick me, but I have read that he is a method actor. From what little I know about method acting it is extremely intense. I've heard that during season 6 he says he was so immersed in the role that he lost quite a bit of weight just from the psychological effects. That could just be PR, who knows.

It does seem stupid. But I'm remembering episodes like Checkpoint where although Giles is reinstated as a Watcher, it's clear that he doesn't trust the Council as far as he can collectively throw them. If I were going to fanwank this, I would say something like this: Giles was afraid that the Council would send an assassin after Faith in prison in order to get a new Slayer. Delaying an announcement to the Council meant he had time to form an alternate plan. Now what the alternate plan would be... my powers of invention have run out.

I think they thought it didn't work too; it was more the why no shovels? business I was after. If they thought the spell would work at ALL, they shoulda dug her up BEFORE they started!

I wouldn't be surprise. He had a pretty intense role there, a really hard part to play. And he does do an astounding job at it.

I'd considered that Giles was afraid they'd either murder Faith...or release her. I do think he might consider delaying in telling the Council for that reason, but he never seemed to be thinking of an alternate plan. He didn't seem to think of anyone but himself. I'd really like to do an alternate S6 in which Faith is there, and it ends up B/F rather than so much B/S. Seems like the whole Giles being concerned about what the Council is going to do with her could work into that...
Thanks for your answers!
