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?

It's always kind of bothered me that going by the named vamps turning rates just don't seem often enough to account for the numbers that routinely rise every patrol night in Sunnydale.
Never thought about it that way, but damn, you're right. Maybe that pyramid scheme group in L.A. really hit it off before Angel, you know, axed it.
Does Gunn have a hat?
Now that's really a question for the ages.
n the second "flows no more" is metaphorical fancy talk for death. So to open the portals Dawn's blood must be literally her blood but to close them metaphorical is sufficient and metaphorically Buffy and Dawn Summers are both of one blood.
Well, that makes some kind of sense, and that's what I got from watching the show. But it bothers me that Dawn's blood flow doesn't have to stop also. If only some of the blood needed to stop flowing, couldn't Buffy have just cut herself? Or as
If they did it wasn't enough. I thought the main reason Buffy got a job was to convince the authorities that she wasn't an unfit slacker guardian.
That does make more sense, though she tells the people at DMP that she decided to apply there because she needs money right away and a job like that has the shortest application process. Also, fast food isn't exactly a good way to convince people you're not a bit of a deadbeat. Not that there's anything wrong with working in that business, just that most people look down on it.
As well done as Angel or Riley leaving, none of them were honest about all their reasons.
Definitely something to keep in mind! Thanks.
He's a freak.
Yeah, I kinda think so too.

I think of it like immunology. The portal(s) gateway is sitting there waiting for that drop of Keyness but it doesn't know what form it will take. Raw living energy, air if the monks had made the Key into a bicycle pump, blood if it were made human. And I wonder what would happen if the monks had made it into an insect since their blood doesn't carry oxygen, it's more like lymph. Can vampires unlive off bug blood or would they need to suck air out of trachae? If they can't is that phylist of them?
Anyway whatever form the Key energy takes when it actually gets there determines what the gateway will need to close it and it needs a life's worth according to Giles. The Key was Dawn, Dawn was human so her life metaphor was blood (she tells Buffy it has to have the blood), so Buffy's blood/life (and in Tough Loveshe does say she has Dawn's life as well as her Summer's blood) will close it now. Or they could have got Spike but they'd have had to go and pick him up from the bottom of the tower and the episode would have run over time.
