More Misc.

And again with the random questions and observations on Season 7:

Conversations With Dead People

I hadn't noticed until I listened to the commentary but, yeah, first episode ever without Xander. But wouldn't it have been neat if the First had appeared to him as Jesse?

If the First is incorporeal, how did it blow in the windows of Casa Summers?


Sleeper

I still don't know how Giles escaped that Bringer - I watched it frame by frame and there's no way he was getting out of that alive.

Huh, I was just looking at the Buffy Trivia Guide for this episode - I knew I recognised the tune from "Early One Morning". It's the theme from The Friendly Giant. (Non-Canadians won't know what I'm talking about, while all the Canadians more astute than me will be going "Well, duh!")


Never Leave Me

Xander: Trigger

Anya: The horse?

::snickers:: Or should that be ::nickers::?

How did Robin know that Jonathan was lying dead on the seal in the basement and why did he bury him? (This is one of those bus-sized plot holes, right?)

One More

Forgot to add: If there's only one Slayer in all the world (usually), why on Earth is the Council so large as to have branches in Munich and Australia and where ever else, where do they get all their money (they seem to be a very wealthy organisation), and what in the heck do they do all day?
