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?

How does someone without "morality, human decency, and the ability to feel remorse" choose to get a soul

I think it is possible to feel love without those things, and I believe Spike gets a soul not out of the goodness of his heart, but because he loves Buffy.

But I do think that not enough care was taken in deliniating that difference.

Definitely agree.

but at the same time the addition of the finer feelings seems, when I re-watch the series, to be added to the 'verse, not just the characters' knowledge. Does that make sense?

Oh yes. I guess applying the laws of the 'verse S1-3 to Spike is detrimental to Spike, and applying the laws of the 'verse S5-7 to Angel is detrimental to Angel. I tend to look at the 'verse in the way I like and the way that makes sense to me, but I understand that since the series itself didn't have an internal consistency on this issue, it's kinda pointless to debate.

Though damnit, I have to confess, I think Fred's hot...

I think Illyria is hot. Fred is cute and makes me bubble with love, but the idea of sex with her makes me afraid her bones would cut someone.

I agree, but that still leaves questions. Such as, what about his love of Buffy lets him know that this is an option that, in his mind, might work? Is it hindsight on the Angel thing, i.e., Angel had a soul and Buffy loved him, but didn't love Angelus? Or can we wonder what prompts him to equate sould-having with Buffy-love?

But I do think that not enough care was taken in deliniating that difference.

Definitely agree.


Good. Means we can disagree on the other. *g*

I understand that since the series itself didn't have an internal consistency on this issue,

That's all I was really arguing--that it's hard to debate given the lack of coherance in the canon.

I think Illyria is hot. Fred is cute and makes me bubble with love, but the idea of sex with her makes me afraid her bones would cut someone.

I agree that Illyria is hot, though honestly I got really tired of the carapace-look. As to Fred herself, I've got nowhere to talk about sharp bones and such. Me an' her going at it would probably cause sparks of a literal, and not sexy, kind. Next on Fox News: Twiggy Lesbian Sex Causes House Fire When Hipbones Collide.

I love talking about Spike and B/S with you. You always give me good points for consideration, and help me decide what I think--even though it's often at odds with your opinion. I want to do Spike meta now.

The pics you've posted of you don't look as bony as Fred. But either way, I think you're cute! :o)

I'd love that. With or without you agreeing with me; we've got a good disagreement-rapport going, so it's always fun, and always educational.

In, like, a totally fun way.

*Haha! My plot to fish for compliments worked! Aces!*

No, I'm not. But you probably haven't seen my arms and my hipbones stick out somewhat.

My ass is magnificent, however. ;)
